Stop or limit the use of synthetic fertilizers! You can not begin repairing or enhancing your soil until you limit synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other garden chemicals. They all have a negative effect on the microbial population in the soil. They do not have any soil building benefits and decrease the water retention in the soil. Over time they will create a sterile soil environment which has no nutritional value for plants.

 

If you are an organic gardener you already know the benefits of compost. However, the bulk, the shoveling and raking can become hard work after a while. An easier way to add microbes to your soil is to use an aerated compost tea, like SoilSoup.  All the main benefits from compost are greatly enhanced by using SoilSoup. A freshly brewed batch of SoilSoup will contain billions of beneficial soil microbes in just a teaspoon. 
     
After just one or two treatments of SoilSoup your plants will start to look healthier; the lawn is greener, the flowers have bigger and more colorful blooms, the fruit and vegetables taste better, and the roses look great without any mildew! Pest issues will lessen as a healthier plant, grown in healthy soil, has a stronger immune system.

 

Believe it or not,  everybody can build healthy soil regardless of what type of soil you start with.

 

It's amazing that something we can't see by the naked eye is so powerful!
