The time has come to remove struggling plants from your vegetable and flower garden. If you leave sick plants in your garden over the winter, they can cause bacterial problems for next spring's crop. Find the diseased plants and throw them in the trash. Only toss the healthier ones onto the compost.
Your compost pile is the best way to fertilize your garden in the spring, so add layers of lime to keep acidic levels from creeping too high -alternating with thin layers of rich soil.
