Your February Gardening Checklist: Tips & Top Products for Early Success

February is the perfect time to set the stage for a productive gardening season. Whether you're sowing seeds indoors, preparing your soil, or planning your garden layout, these steps will help ensure strong, healthy plants and a bountiful harvest. Here’s your step-by-step guide to early-season gardening success, along with some must-have products to make it easier!

1. Start with Healthy Soil 
Great gardens begin with great soil. Preparing your soil now ensures your plants have the nutrients they need to thrive. Adding Earth Shine Biochar is a simple yet powerful way to enhance your soil’s fertility, improve water retention, and support beneficial microbial life. Biochar works by creating a nutrient-rich environment that reduces leaching and helps plants grow stronger throughout the season. 

Pro Tip: Mix biochar into your soil evenly and let it sit for a few weeks before planting for optimal results.

2. Seed Starting Indoors 
Get a head start on your spring garden by starting seeds indoors this month. Crops like tomatoes, peppers, and herbs are perfect candidates for early indoor germination. To give your seedlings the best chance at success, incorporate Green Aminos, a natural fertilizer designed to promote root and foliage growth.

Seed Starting Tips: 
- Use seed trays with proper drainage. 
- Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. 
- Place trays near a sunny window or under grow lights.

3. Strengthen Your Plants Naturally 
Early pest prevention and plant health go hand in hand. Applying Biomend Plus, a probiotic blend of beneficial microbes, helps strengthen plants against environmental stressors and naturally deters pests. Healthy plants are less vulnerable to infestations, making this an essential step for long-term success. 

How to Use: Apply Biomend Plus as a foliar spray or mix it into your irrigation water once a week during early growth stages.

4. Enhance Root Development 
Strong roots are the foundation of a thriving garden. As you prepare for planting, consider incorporating BioPhos, a premium phosphorus supplement, to encourage robust root systems and early flower development. Phosphorus is especially critical during the initial growth stages, ensuring your plants have the support they need to establish quickly. 

When to Apply: Mix BioPhos into your irrigation solution or apply directly to the root zone during transplanting.

5. Plan Your Garden Layout 
Use this time to map out your garden beds, considering factors like crop rotation, companion planting, and sunlight requirements. Planning now reduces the chances of overcrowding and maximizes your garden’s productivity.
