It's always well known that: the key to great soil is organic.
What does organic matter consist of? A little of everything that's
somewhat moldy (like old leaves), somewhat moist (think used coffee
grinds) and somewhat live (you have to love those banana peels). Once
you become a fan of using organic matter, you may even want to invest
in a compost bin.
A compost pail (a little more compact than a bin) is also a great
place to put those clippings of organic matter that you save, and
helps the organic matter to formulate as well. Still, with or without
composting, organic matter is one of the most useful ingredients of
healthy soil.
In fact, it looks impossible that anyone complains about having too
much organic matter. So, keeping that in mind, here's recipe for a
crumbly, moist soil with extra tips and information thrown in for good
luck.
Recipe for Crumbly, Moist Soil
One part top soil
One part organic matter
One part peat moss
A handful of sand
Blend together in a wheelbarrow or on the ground using either a
pitchfork or your hands. Lay it on top of already existing soil at
least four inches deep. Work into the soil vigorously with a pitchfork
or rototill
