Spread leaves, straw, or grass clippings around plants. Mulch keeps moisture in, prevents weeds, and breaks down slowly to improve soil over time.
Grow clover, rye, or legumes in empty beds. These plants enrich soil by adding nutrients, improving texture, and preventing erosion when tilled back in.
Well-rotted manure from cows, horses, or chickens boosts soil fertility. Mix it into garden beds for a natural nutrient boost without harsh chemicals.
Fresh or dried grass clippings add nitrogen to soil. Use a thin layer to avoid matting and allow air circulation, promoting healthy plant growth.
Dig small holes and bury fruit peels, eggshells, and coffee grounds. This method feeds soil life and improves nutrients without needing a compost pile.
Vermicompost or worm castings enhance soil fertility. Rich in nutrients, they improve soil texture, helping plants grow stronger and healthier.
Wood ash contains potassium and phosphorus, essential for fruiting. Sprinkle lightly around tomato plants to enhance root strength and improve overall yields.
