How To Amend Hard Soil In Minutes Or Less

Here are some additional tips for amending hard soil:

• Work the amendment into the soil at least 6 inches deep.
• Water the soil thoroughly after amending it.
• Add more amendment as needed, especially if you are planting heavy-feeding plants.

If you have hard soil, you can improve it by adding organic matter, such as compost, manure, or peat moss. This will help to loosen the soil and make it more permeable to water and air. You can also add sand to help improve drainage.
