Getting started with the rake
Before you start planting your new acquisitions, you should mop up the soil once. It is best to do this with a rake, but you can also do it with your hands. As an extra, you can also add some fertilizer in this step! Especially if you already have some plants, this is a good step to keep in mind, after the winter they can use some extra nutrition.
