Autumn
Vessel Ltd. * Soil Health Programs begin in late Summer and early Autumn.
This is the point in the annual cycle when soil temperatures have peaked and will soon begin to cool as days shorten and temperatures fall in the evenings.This is the most important time of year in your sustainable soil health program.
In the Autumn, it is essential to tend to the physical structure of the soil, i.e. its aggregates and the spaces in between (oxygen) and, continue to develop and build this matrix , so that it is already conditioned before spring arrives.
As microbial activity begins to slow and ultimately go dormant during the winter months,it is the prime time to prepare the soil structure, introduce diversity,and create an environment that will encourage the growth and development of beneficial microorganisms before soil temperatures rise & days begin to lengthen in the spring.
