Add Manure

A great add to any soil is manure, farmers have used it for centuries. Plus your plants lack a nose so they don’t mind the smell!

Try Composting

Reducing our carbon footprint is kinda like planting a tree, you wont get to enjoy it, but our future will. Composting is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint while making your soil healthy and full of nutrients. Thanks for doing your part!

Mining Soil

Reusing the soil from plant to plant, will add nutrients and nourish your soil year after year. Use a Miracle Gro fertilizer if your soil needs a little bit more love at the beginning!

Cover Crops

Beans and peas are among the cheap and easy cover crops. The nutrients from these plants will ensure that your soil is packed with everything the rest of your crops need.

Mulched Soil

Ground up leaves are the perfect mulch, as long it is mixed in to the soil. If left on top on your soil, it can reduce necessary sunshine and oxygen, which can actually harm your plants!
