Lawn & Garden / soil amendments

As fall approaches, seize the moment to revitalize your garden. Trim and nurture existing plants for healthier yields, embrace cover crops to enhance soil health and invite beneficial insects. Enhance with amendments like compost, gypsum, and Zamzows Huma Green. Tend to perennials and shrubs, then consider leaving trimmings for wildlife. Fall is prime for planting and transplanting, while sowing grass seed ensures a vibrant lawn.

Soils are made up of basically four different ingredients. Sand is a large rounded particle with relatively jagged edges. A sandy soil drains very well but has very low water retention. Because of the size and shape of the sand, it does not hold on to water and nutrients. 

The secret to healthy plants is a healthy soil. Everything a plant needs to be healthy and produce comes from the soil. If it isn’t in the soil it never gets to the fruit thus it never gets to us.
