Tag Archives: mulching

February is a key month for preparing your community garden in the UK. Focus on composting to enrich the soil and mulching to protect plants from frost. It’s also a great time to plant onions and broad beans, which are hardy and can be started early for a head start on the season. Ensure soil drainage is good, provide support for growing beans, and keep weeds in check around onions. By starting these tasks now, you’ll lay a solid foundation for a productive year. Careful preparation in February will lead to a thriving garden come spring and summer.
