Start With The Soil

“It is a truth universally acknowledged – but often overlooked – that our soil is at the very heart of successful growing.”

“It is a truth universally acknowledged – but often overlooked – that our soil is at the very heart of successful growing,” says James Campbell, Chief Executive at Garden Organic. To support the UN’s International Year of Soils, Garden Organic has produced a new soil information pack for gardeners, using organic methods as best practice. From factsheets on surveying the soil on a new growing site and the function of plant nutrients, to a full booklet on composting, it contains all you need to know to get your soil in top condition, whether you’re a new or experienced grower. The pack is available as a free download from www.gardenorganic.org.uk/soil-information-pack
