HINTS FOR GARDEN SOIL---CONTAINER SOIL

#1. Container soil must be replaced because I feel the soil gets sour. There are so many at the garden center all ready mixed with all the good blends you need to grow great plants. Makes it easy, which who doesn't like that?
#2. Garden soil must be worked up and enriched with organic matter. Compost or aged manure is the key to healthy growth.
#3. There are places to have your soil tested. A sample can be taken to a cooperative extension office or some garden centers offer this service. To find the cooperative office near you, go to csrees.usda.gov/Extension.
Good preparation at the beginning, is the key to enjoying any garden. Have a good day!
