Is Your Soil in Overdraft? Find Out How to Amend Soil
Manage episode 409235340 series 2534757
When you make only withdrawals—no deposits—you eventually end up in overdraft. It works that way at the bank, with friendships—and with soil.
And growing crop after crop in a garden is like making withdrawal after withdrawal. The crops use nutrients. Working the soil affects its structure.
Amending soil is like putting money back into the bank. Soil amendments can improve soil structure, soil chemistry, and return nutrients to the soil.
In this episode, Donna and Steven talk about practical ways home gardeners can improve soil quality with soil amendments.
We discuss different types of manures, making compost, using leaves, wood chips, and common products such as bone meal, peat moss, and blood meal.
