The importance of cultivating healthy soil is vital even in the smallest growing space, whether that's a city veg patch, roof garden, or container in your porch. Good soil management means replacing what's taken out of the soil so your plants will thrive, and is a key element in how to amend garden soil.
This should be the first thing you think about before you start planting. Understanding the make up of your soil, and amending it with compost or fertilisers as required to maintain soil fertility is key to growing plants successfully. The type and condition of soil in your yard will influence planting choices and how successful you are, so nailing this will ensure your cultivation efforts are rewarded.
