Difference between revisions of "Prepare Soil for a Garden"

Preparing soil that will produce a healthy garden is more complicated that choosing a spot and digging holes to plant in. You need to choose a location that has good sun exposure, is free of root systems, and has good drainage. You’ll need to test the soil for sand and clay content, and it’s good to have a garden center test a sample for the pH level and nutrient concentrations. Then you will turn the soil over, removing rocks and roots. Lastly, you will need to add organic matter, soil amendments like clay and sand, and smooth out the whole plot before planting.
