Garden Soil


Source: nearby community green belts, fields or parks.

Advantages: The fertility of the garden soil is quite high.

Disadvantages: If you water too much, the water permeability will become worse; if it is too dry, it will cause the soil surface to become compacted, so it cannot be used alone.

Peat soil


Source: Bottom of ponds, rivers, lakes, not easy to dig

Advantages: It has excellent water and fertilizer retention capabilities, is light in texture, and is basically free of diseases and pests.

Disadvantages: It contains fewer nutrients and cannot provide sufficient nutrients for flowers.

Leaf mold


Source: On the mountain, under the big tree, in the rotten grass

Advantages: The soil made from rotten leaves is loose and highly breathable.

Disadvantages: It may contain a lot of insect eggs and bacteria, and it may cause bacterial infection if not disinfected.

Pine Needle Soil


Source: Dig up the surface under the pine tree, the lower layer is the already decomposed pine needle soil

Advantages: Weakly acidic, loose and highly breathable.

Disadvantages: It is not recommended to use on small seedlings as the pores are too large to cover the roots.

Coconut peat
