structure and drainage while retaining moisture and nutrients.
How do I improve my garden soil?

- Till in cover crops or green manures to enrich the soil
- Use a garden tiller to loosen compacted soil
- Add sand or perlite to improve drainage in heavy clay soils
What nutrients does garden soil need?

How often should I test my garden soil?
It's a good idea to test your garden soil every 2-3 years to check nutrient
levels and pH. This allows you to make any necessary amendments to keep your
soil in optimal condition.
What is the ideal pH for garden soil?
Most plants thrive in slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. You
