What to do to prep for spring gardening in the fall?

I like to till up the area and than put compost or “hot” fertilizer on the area and let the snow pack it in.

Three options:

1. Till it, like the previous poster said, and allow the winter weather to break up the chunks.

2. Till it, then sow winter wheat or rye. You’ll get small blades before the winter cold hits and kills them, but they’ll be back in early spring. Let them grow (they’ll choke out weeds) until planting-out time, then till it all in on a day when the soil isn’t too wet. You’ll add a whole bunch of organic matter to your soil.

3. Slash all the expired annuals, leave them on the ground, then build up a ’sheet mulch’. By springtime you’ll have a lovely spongy top layer of composted organic matter to plant your transplants into. See links for details.

(no idea what would be good for Wisconsin, sorry. I live in a much warmer area.)

The area sit over the winter planning your colors heights textures and error although the dirt really well dont do you should have had.

I like to use fabric containers called smart pots.

An excellent gardener and he also put in some fertilizer just to keep the ground after the season was over.
