Susan’s Gardening Tips

 Here’s what Organic Lawn Care Techniques has to say… 

Adding an organic compost to soil achieves the optimum soil texture, because it adds nutrients in a natural, easy-to-absorb state… with several bonuses:

• Increases the soil’s organic content, hence it’s water-holding capacity;
• Improves the soil’s physical structure, allowing more air to get to the roots;
• Increases bacterial and beneficial fungal activity, making nutrients more available to grass roots;
• Organically derived plant nutrients are less likely to contribute to water pollution because they are very slow to leach from the soil. 

But here’s the “super” bonus… the response to this enriched soil is a deeper, stronger root structure that withstands drought and disease!

Happy gardening… Susan Nelson Hopkins
