Soil Health and Composting
- Testing Garden Soil pH with Simple Home Methods
Determine whether your allotment soil sits on the acidic or alkaline side using standard garden shop test kits. You will choose the right amendments to unlock soil nutrients for your heavy vegetable feeders.
- Setting Up Trench Composting for Heavy Feeders
Bury your uncooked vegetable waste directly under your future squash and bean rows weeks before planting. You will build deep subterranean moisture reserves and feed earthworms without keeping an open compost bin.
