Your soil is the foundation of your garden and it can make your plants survive and thrive or bring them down. So understanding how to make your soil the best it can be should be at the top of your gardening priority list.

Soil Amendments

Get to know your soil so you can improve its ability to
retain moisture and improve plant growth. Your soil may be blocking vital
elements your plants need to grow. Ascertain how and when to add missing
elements to improve plant health and production. Learn the type of soil on your
property and its corresponding strengths and weakness. (Bring a cup of
your soil in a plastic bag and a glass jar with lid.) Discover changes you can
make to improve the soil structure and water storage capacity. Organic
matter, cover crops, soil microorganism and mulching will be discussed.
