Step two: Crumble!
Now that you’ve begun working your way through the WOLFing process, (and mastered step one, I’m sure!) it’s time to start step two: crumbling.
Your plants will grow best in fine soil, and loosely crumbled soil helps keep your soil moist and viable. To create a soil that will support your seeds and young plants while ensuring even distribution of water and vigorous root formation, we suggest using the DAS crumbler and the DOM35 or DRM35 rake, all available from Bluestone Garden.
If you’re looking for a tool for all occasions, try the Crumbler DAS, the “little black dress” of crumblers, if you will, that will work in any situation. This handy tool not only cultivates, but also weeds and edges your garden. You can easily blend mulch and fertilize compost for a perfect flower or vegetable garden by naturally bringing micronutrients into the soil.
Touted as ‘the only soil rake you will ever need,” the DOM35 bow rake will also work wonders on your garden. The tines have an extra curve to help the rake pull smoothly and strip out rocks or clay in the push motion. The DRM35 flat head soil rake, with its ergonomic curved teeth, smoothes soil with a flick of the rake. Use either of these rakes for loosening or levining the soil.
Whether you are sowing or planting, these tools will help you get a finely crumbled soil for the least physical resistance and the right amount of moisture. Show off your garden to your neighbors, because you’re going to have some brag-worthy flowers and vegetables if you follow these steps!
Happy spring everyone.
I hope you’re enjoying the weather and experimenting with your garden.
