Fall is the best time to loosen the soil. Organic matter can be worked in and any added nutrients that a soil test would indicate beneficial. This raised bed of mine was allowed to grow a cover crop all year. I planted it last fall with grass. The organic matter will break down over winter and it should be ready to plant my spring salad crops.
We have had plenty of moisture and working the soil when it is wet isn't best. However, the freezing and thawing this winter will help loosen the clods made when turning over wet soil.
