Hey, I’ve been thinking about your question regarding the best way to organize the backyard cleanup. I usually start with trimming the hedges first because it opens up the space and makes raking easier. After that, focus on the flower beds—pull the weeds by hand if the soil is damp. Just take it section by section, and you’ll finish faster than you expect. Let me know if you want to borrow my leaf blower; it’s lightweight and works well for small yards.

Actually, about your question on the best way to prepare the soil for spring planting—I usually turn the compost in late winter and mix it with a bit of sand if the clay is heavy. You can test the pH with a simple kit from the garden center. I’d recommend amending the beds about two weeks before you plan to put seeds in. That gives the microbes time to activate. Let me know if you need help hauling bags—I have free time next Saturday.
