Organic matter is one of the most powerful tools you can add to your garden, and this short explains how to use it the right way. Whether you’re growing citrus, vegetables, flowers, or fruit trees, organic matter feeds the soil, supports beneficial microbes, improves moisture retention, and adds essential nutrients over time.
This hack focuses on using composted products such as Amend, Kellogg Topper, or other aged organic blends—specifically applied at the top of the pot rather than mixed deeply. For citrus and other container trees, this top-dressing method prevents root rot, reduces excess moisture, and mimics natural forest litter where nutrients break down slowly from above.
Adding organic matter improves soil structure, enhances fertility, and helps plants resist stress, pests, and disease. It’s an easy habit that creates long-term benefits with minimal effort. Just apply once every few months and watch your plants respond with stronger growth, greener leaves, and better flowering.
If your container plants need an extra boost, this simple trick delivers big results.
