February Garden Prep: 5 Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Spring Garden

Описание: February isn't a planning month—it's a prep month. And the work you do in February determines whether your spring planting succeeds or struggles before you even put seeds in the ground.

Spring arrives fast. One day the ground is frozen, then suddenly it's 65 degrees and time to plant. If your beds aren't ready, you scramble. You rush. You plant into unprepared soil, and your seedlings spend weeks struggling to establish.
The gardeners who harvest early don't plant early—they prep early. They do the invisible work in February that makes March and April planting smooth and effective.
In this video, I'm breaking down the 5 essential tasks you must complete in February to prepare your garden for spring. These aren't optional "nice-to-have" tasks—they're foundational steps that determine whether your garden thrives or limps through the season.
In this video, you'll learn:

Why February soil prep produces faster establishment and earlier harvests (and why April prep doesn't work)
The tool maintenance checklist that makes spring planting 30% faster
How to plan a simple 4-year crop rotation that balances nutrients and breaks pest cycles
Which watering systems to set up now before plants make it harder
How to start a compost system that produces finished compost by summer

👉 These five prep tasks—soil building, tool maintenance, crop rotation planning, watering infrastructure, and compost systems—are what separate productive gardens from struggling ones.
This video is part of the January-February Garden Series, focused on practical systems that set you up for success before the rush of spring planting begins.
