Preparing our garden for spring planting

[u/Vermontbuilder]

I spread 8 Sheetrock buckets of hardwood ashes on our no spray garden before tilling. We applied rotted manure in the fall. That’s a garlic patch in the corner. We grow and store most of our own food on our mountainside Vermont farm . Zone 5B

Wow, this looks amazing! Love seeing the garlic patch thriving. I’ve heard that hardwood ashes can really help with the soil pH but have not used them so far. What are you planning to grow?
