Improve the soil with compost
Compost:
- improves the soil
- enriches the soil with nutrients
- makes heavy soil lighter.Â
Cover the soil with a layer of compost about 2 inches thick. Then gently fold it in to the soil using a garden fork.
The compost can be old decomposed grass clippings; old, decomposed leaves; well-rotted farm yard manure; well-rotted horse manure; well rotted straw.
