With directions on amending poor soil, modifying mediocre earth, aerating compacted topsoil and substrates, and testing pH levels, this book enables gardeners to nurture their plants and promote more abundant growth. The features of good soil include proper structure and nutrients that encourage healthy plant growth. Soil in "good tilth" is loamy, nutrient-rich and friable because it has an optimal mixture of sand, clay and organic matter that prevents severe compaction. Improving Your Soil shows gardeners how to improve the soil in their garden to encourage good seed bedding and a strong root system for proper nutrient disbursement throughout various soil depths.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 635.0489 Re   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Reid   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re pb Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re pb paid/wd Damaged Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 635.0489 Re   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
