Maybe it just feels like I&#8217;m behind because of the snow we&#8217;ve been having recently. This past weekend while driving back from up north, I spotted several people catching up on their fall tree leaf clean [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of posts ago I discussed a hands-off style of flower gardening that works some in established gardens. In those cases the soil is usually in pretty good shape after having had plants growing in the same spot for many years. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have such a garden space. Sometimes the soil [&#8230;]]]></description>

This gives the lime plenty of time to react with the soil chemistry and do its job raising the pH of the soil.  The next best time to apply lime is right now, in early spring.
