Rejuvenating your garden – some tips for good soil
02/01/2013 , 3:27 PM by ABC NENW
A few weeks back David Maher was giving some tips on how to rejuevnate the soil in your garden. He tells us that sometimes soil after a while becomes hydrophobic and loses its ability to absorb water.
The following is David’s suggestion to combat that problem, or just give your garden a bit of a lift.
1. Scuff soil – break up the surface with pitch fork or
shovel
2. Apply gypsum and leave for 2-3 weeks and keep garden moist.
3. Fertilise the soil – blood and bone and potash will do just fine – keep well watered
4. Mulch the bed, but not too close to the base of plants
Happy gardening
