"Often referred to as poor man’s fertilizer, snow is an excellent source of nitrogen for your garden.
It all starts in the clouds..Nitrates are the result of nitrogen dioxide dissolving in moisture in the clouds. Precipitation pulls the nitrates down to the ground as a natural fertilizer. Rain and snow both contain nitrogen, but snow by its nature provides a better delivery method.
The nitrogen content in snow isn’t a huge amount but it is more beneficial than rain because of the slow release and little amount of runoff.
Now we can look on the bright side while we’re inside looking out the window dreaming of our spring gardens!
Be kind and grow your own food.
Peace and Love,
The Garden Guinea"
