@growandeatit: Since reading “For the Love of Soil” last summer, I can never just plonk plants in the ground without doing as much soil improvement as possible. In Perth’s sandy soils, this is even more important, to make sure all the water and nutrients you give a plant don’t just drain straight through the sand! So before this finger lime went anywhere near the ground, here’s what went in to turn beach into soil a tree can actually live in: 🌱 Wandoo Bentonite Clay to bind the sand so it holds water and nutrients instead of losing them 🌱 Charlie Charcoal, a biochar that gives the soil microbes a home 🌱 Ecohumate to feed the soil life and help it hold onto nutrients 🌱 Food2Soil All-Purpose Fertiliser and Seaweed to feed the plant and the biology around it 🌱 Popul8, a microbe boost to wake the soil up 🌱 Soil Wetter so water actually soaks in instead of running off the dry sand #gardening #garden #homegrown #growneatit
