Add compost

Composting involves breaking down organic materials like food scraps, yard waste, and animal manure into a nutrient-rich, soil-like substance.

Mulch the soil

Mulching involves placing a layer of organic material such as leaves, straw, or wood chips on the surface of the soil to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Prevent compaction

To prevent your soil from compaction, dig your soil from time to time. Digging makes the soil porous, improves drainage, and facilitates the spreading out of plant roots.

Grow cover crops

Clover, rye, buckwheat, and alfalfa are some popular cover crops. Its waste decomposes swiftly after maturation, replenishing the soil with organic materials.

Add aged animal manure

Aged manure is usually at least six months old and has had time to break down and decompose. It is nutrient-rich and can be used to improve soil structure.
