Digging

Digging is crucial because it breaks up the soil, making it possible for plants and flowers to develop there. Any plant will be stunted and have a hard time thriving if roots cannot easily penetrate the soil. The soil in your garden can be broken down in a number of ways, some of which are easier than others, therefore digging is essential. When the ground is dry and free of frost, October and December is the optimum time to do this.
