Garden Soil Improvement With Manure and Green Manure
A Beaverlodge Alberta soil expert outlines methods to improve garden soil with humus and plant nutrients. Barnyard manure provides both humus and nutrients, with 25 30 tons yearly when fallow and two thirds when annually cropped. Green manuring with sweet clover is advised but late growth can waste moisture. Peat and sand can aid texture, while deeper ploughing gradually exposes fresh soil to create a richer root bed. Surface loam remains a valuable, finite asset to conserve.
