What is garden soil and how to improve it for growing flowers?

1. What is soil

Garden soil is a common type of soil that is very common in growing. Garden soil refers to soil that has been used to grow flowers and vegetables. It has undergone years of cultivation and farming. It is also called garden soil and farmland soil. It is generally taken from flower gardens, vegetable gardens, orchards, etc.

Garden soil has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it has been cultivated for many years, so in addition to pure soil, the garden soil also contains some fermented fallen leaves, straw, flowers and leaves, garbage, etc. It contains a lot of humus, and the soil fertility is relatively high, which can provide nutrients for plant growth. The disadvantage is that the garden soil has poor dryness and wetness properties. When the soil is dry, it is easy to become compacted and hardened. When it is wet, the soil becomes airtight and may cause root rot of flowers and plants.

2. How to improve flower planting

1. Garden soil can be used directly to plant flowers, but sometimes the effect is not good. It can be improved before use. The garden soil is not very loose and breathable, so you can add an appropriate amount of granular matter, such as vermiculite, perlite, etc. You can also add coconut bran, wheat husks, and decomposed sawdust. Mixing them together can enhance the loosening effect.

2. After mixing, add some carbendazim to the soil, which can disinfect and kill insect eggs and remove bacteria. Then you can use it to plant flowers.
