Tip:A compost pile a day keeps the plant doctor away.
Compost improves soil health. Compost has been shown in some research trials to reduce plant diseases;suppressing or controlling some soil-borne plant pathogens.
Tip:Weaving trash into the soil increases the nutrition level.
All litter or trash on the soil surface should be completely covered or worked into the soil when the ground is turned. Excessive trash in the upper soil level interferes with final seedbed preparation and later cultivations. This is a good time to add compost and soil amendments such as agricultural lime.
