So at this point, you have probably taken the time to research raised bed gardening and have found that it is the perfect solution for those with limited space or time, poor soil quality Jeurys Familia World Baseball Classic Jersey , or limited physical abilities. If you have planned out your garden space, purchased or built a garden bed gardening kit, now it is time to move on to the soil or dirt, and seed or plants. If you haven't thought much about the type of soil you are going to add to your beds, now is the time to think about one of the most important parts to your garden.
Raised bed gardening will only be successful if the plants you grow survive and thrive. And your plants will only be as nutritious as the soil in which you plant them. Not all soil is the same. In good soil Jumbo Diaz World Baseball Classic Jersey , if the ground has been undisturbed (not tilled, dug, or moved), a thin layer of organic matter should cover the topsoil. Organic matter is a combination of plant and animal residue and leavings in various stages of decomposition. Organic matter is essential to good, quality soil Samuel Deduno World Baseball Classic Jersey , as it is full of nutrients that plants need, and aides in aeration and drainage of soils.

Under the organic soil layer is the topsoil. The topsoil holds the vast majority of nutrients, soil organisms, and roots. The deeper the topsoil, the better for plant life. The next layer, the subsoil Bartolo Colon World Baseball Classic Jersey , provides water storage and some nutrients.

Organic matter is like fertilizer to the plants. However Santiago Casilla World Baseball Classic Jersey , unlike commercial fertilizers that release nutrients quickly and can cause burn, organic matter releases nutrients slowly.
