How to Improve Your Soil

How to Improve Your Soil

Maintaining nutrients levels in your soil is vital if you are to grow healthy plants. Therefore, it is really essential to improve your soil regularly by digging in organic matter.

These natural materials will absorb and hold water in the soil and improve its structure, providing essential air pockets for drainage and for the roots to breathe. The high organic content also encourages the activity of beneficial soil dwelling organisms including worms

Step 1

Dig over the area of soil that needs improving. If the area is planted then take care not to dig close to the plants or disturb their roots. You can use the Soil Conditioner or Gro-Sure Farmyard Manure as a mulch near to established plants and allow the worms and soil organisms to work it into the soil.

Step 2

Spread Soil Conditioner or Gro-Sure Farmyard Manure over the surface of the dug area and work it into the soil with a fork. Soil Conditioner contains a high proportion of organic material mixed together with a generous proportion of Gro-Sure Farmyard Manure. In your fruit and vegetable garden you could also try Gro-Sure Vegetable Growing Compost.
