As the summer gardening season begins to wind down, gardeners may be thinking their gardens didn’t do as well this year. If that’s the case, take a closer look at the soil.
Soil health is vital to gardening success. Healthy plants start with healthy soil. Rich soil provides adequate nutrients and holds water while protecting against soil loss from runoff and erosion.
