Maintaining A Healty Soil
--------------------------
You must keep adding organic matter such as compost,manure
and/or grass clippings and plant material to the garden to
replenish the nutrients used by Your plants.
If you are preparing a bed for planting, spread the compost
etc over it and dig it in.
This will make the nutrients available sooner.
To add to existing beds spread as a mulch it will break down
into humus and sift down into the soil.
Worms will also come up and carry it down into the soil.
Those of You who used to garden with artificial fertilisers
and use chemicals for insects,fungus etc. will have to learn
to feed the soil rather than feed the plants.
Do not use chemical fertilisers for a quick boost as they
kill the worms and other organisms that help to break down
the organic matter.
To have a sufficient supply of composting materials You
can buy manure,blood and bone and other organic materials.
Another good source of material is Your neighbours lawn clippings
and fallen leaves (that they would burn).
Also if You Know someone with a Mowing service they will usually
be happy to drop off all their clippings to save paying Tip fees.
