Winter is Time to Prune
Late Winter Tree and Shrub Health

Late winter or early spring is a great time to prune many species of trees and shrubs. 

 

- Discourages bacterial diseases such as Fire Blight.

 

- Provides ease of visibility for plant specific selective pruning.

 

- Provides a fresh burst

of new spring growth in shrubs.

Building Soil Health with Vermicomposting
Using Red Wigglers to Compost Kitchen Waste

Why vermicomposting? (Also known as composting with worms.) 
1. Year round reduction of garbage going to the landfills.

2. Worms produce beautiful black compost called "castings" which are nitrogen rich and full of beneficial microbes.  
 
3. Once set up and operating properly, a worm bin is free forever, clean, and productive. 

4. Consider building a bigger bin outside to hold all of your garden debris.
 
Heidi highly recommends exploring Minnesota's own Laverme's Worms for more information and materials.
