You've Already Made Your Own Fertilizer

All the dead leaves and blooms from your summer garden make great fertilizer:

“The single best practice a gardener can do to improve their soil is adding organic matter,” he says. “It increases the water- and nutrient-holding capacity of the soil. It helps make minerals available for plants. And, as it accumulates, it binds clay particles into larger aggregates, improving aeration and drainage. And remember, gardening success always starts from the ground up.”

Put your garden to bed with some organic TLC
