When snow is trapped between the hill of roughly-plowed soil, more moisture is retained than on flat, bare ground. Incorporation of limestone in the fall gives the mineral time to becomes integrated into the soil and influence spring plant growth.
To prepare for fall tilling, you should check soil fertility and pH by having you soil analyzed through the local Extension office. /
Soil pH measures the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil. The correct soil pH is essential for optimum plant growth. Vegetables vary in their requirements, but most garden crops do well with a soil pH of 6.2 to 6.8. This is a little below neutral of slightly acid. If soil pH is too high or low, poor crop growth will result, largely due to the effects of pH on the availability of nutrients to
