About this audiobook
Create a beautiful, healthy garden that never ceases to amaze with Know Your Soil!
Your soil is filled with unique properties that determine what you can grow and how well.
Without knowing your specific soil type—clay, silty, peaty, or one of the others—you could be devoting your time, energy, and money to a garden that doesn’t bring you results.
Understanding your soil and what’s living in it, like microorganisms and insects, provides the foundation for creating a healthy, buzzing ecosystem in your backyard.
Discover the basic tools and strategies in Know Your Soil to help you nourish and maximize the potential of YOUR own soil.
You can establish the healthy and beautiful garden you have been longing for.
Inside Know Your Soil, you will discover:
- How to recognize your soil type using the Wet/Dry test and the Jar test to understand the basics of growing in that soil type
- Your soil’s pH level, whether alkaline, neutral or acidic, to assist with understanding the nutrients your soil may be lacking
- Flowers, shrubs, and trees that will grow best in the various soil types and pH conditions
You will also find ways to maintain your soil’s long-term health and fertility by learning about the following:
- How to incorporate the right microorganisms
- How to add compost, mulch, or plant cover crops
- The importance of encouraging the good bugs in your garden, while finding safe ways to discourage pests and other disturbances
- How to introduce the right crop rotations, irrigation systems, and organic pesticides
…plus the tips, tricks, and tools to work with your soil, not against it!
The garden you’ve always wanted doesn’t have to be complicated.
