How do I choose the right soil for my garden?

Choosing the right soil depends on what you want to grow. Are you planting flowers, vegetables, or shrubs?

I'm planning to grow vegetables. What type of soil is best for that?

For vegetables, a loamy soil rich in organic matter is ideal. It retains moisture but also drains well.

What if my garden has clay soil?

If you have clay soil, you can improve it by adding compost or peat moss to enhance drainage and fertility.

How can I test my soil type?

You can test your soil by doing a simple jar test with water and soil, or by using a soil testing kit available at garden centers.
