What do i add to the soil for vegetable and flower gardens?
We just got blessed by MIL with a rototiller
so we don’t have to hand shovel our veg garden and
new flower bed
my question is what do we add to the soil
peat moss and top soil, or black earth or triple mix
or some or all ?
You really need to do a soil test for pH and NPK. The black dirt, peat moss etc is fine but when you start dumping lime or chemical fertilizers on without knowing your soils pH or fertilizer needs you don’t know what you are going to end up with. An over dose of Nitrogen can result in nice big plants with no flowers or fruit, Lime on an already alkaline soil can result in no plants at all…..so on and so forth. You can send a soil sample to your county extension office or a nearby university for testing or buy a simple home soil test kit at your friendly, smiling garden store.
