If you want your vegetable garden to be productive, you need to ensure its soil is fertile and full of nutrients. That's why you shouldn't rest on your laurels after a good summer of harvests. Fall is a great time to make efforts to fertilize your vegetable garden, and put nutrients back into the soil ready for next season’s crops.
Keeping the nutrient levels of soil high was highly important in all of the vegetable gardens I worked in. We made sure to feed the soil throughout the year, including in fall. This primarily came in the form of mulches and cover crops that were utilized to put nutrients back into the earth.
