How To Improve Your Garden Soil

How do I improve my garden soil?

This is the most labor intensive part of gardening, and it's the one that should take the most time because we want to have a good living soil. We don't need to come in, band aid, with fertilizers and so forth. We don't have stress on the plants, and so we want to add at least four inches of organic matter in a twelve inch profile of soil. The organic matter will help improve drainage and it helps with nutrient retention as well. I urge you to always test the soil and to see how much organic matter is already present in the soil, and how much you would need to add.
