Promoting Alkalinity in Acid Soil
By adding soured milk, yogurt leftovers, whey and so on, you
will encourage worms and healthful bacteria in the soil. For more
information on encouraging life in the soil, see the sections on
green manures and composting.
To discourage fungi, molds and nematodes it is helpful to
dress soil with a garlic tea. Various teas with herbs for
nourishment, herbs with insect repellent properties, manure teas
can all be added when cooled to the soil at any time. These teas
can be added to the garden even after landscape fabrics have been
laid down. |
