Organic Matter Improves Soil Health in Gardens
Parker the county agent notes fall is ideal for adding organic matter such as lawn clippings and leaf rakeings to garden beds. Two pounds of complete fertilizer per 100 square feet aids decomposition, boosts pore space moisture retention and air exchange, and converts clay to loamy soil while helping sandy soil hold nutrients. Composted vegetative matter supports transplanting and topdressing.
