Trevor shows us how to permanently improve your soil.

  • Recognize when soil structure needs rejuvenation, especially in highly productive vegetable gardens experiencing decreased productivity over time.
  • Use Soil Solver, a blend of Kaolin clay, silt, and rock minerals, to bind sand and organic particles together, improving soil structure to resemble loam.
  • Apply sufficient amounts of Soil Solver, approximately 67KGs for effective soil amendment.
  • Supplement soil with compost, which adds organic matter and nutrients essential for plant growth.
  • If you can, make sure to use compost plus clay products for added soil structure improvement and nutrient enrichment.
  • Spread a rich manure product evenly across the garden bed to further enhance soil fertility and microbial activity.
  • Observe plant growth and soil health over time, comparing rejuvenated soil with neighbouring beds to assess the effectiveness of soil amendments.
