Organic matter not whole story in being a successful gardener
The soil needs proper texture and nutrients. Sandy soils warm early but dry out. add 2 inches of compost to improve water retention. Clay soils gain drainage and bacteria with organic matter. a 2 inch layer helps. A good loam is rare and benefits from periodic organic addition. Also supply nitrogen phosphorus and potash. fertilize each spring and replace lime in acidic areas after soil tests. If plants still lack vigor, check for trace element deficiencies and mix in garden-store minerals.
