RE: How I Used Pioneer Veggies to Build Healthy Soil - My 2nd Suburban Garden - Part 2

This was a great article, thanks! I am trying to grow my garden mow and I live in a sandy area. So I am working on my soil and trying to get it where it needs to be. I will be adding some amendments to get things to grow as sand will not hold moisture. You gave me some great ideas. Resteemed!

Sort:  

I worked for a homestead that had fairly sandy soil. We were constantly adding mulch, compost and manure to the garden beds and around trees. And then repeating every year! The constant addition of organic matter helps give the sand moisture and fertility retention. Your effort will pay off! If you're planting trees or shurbs the burying of wood idea can't hurt either :)
