GARDENING ON THE CHEAP: Problem Soils

🌱 Using sand sparingly and effectively can help alleviate soil cracking without the need for large quantities.

🌱 Filling cracks in the soil with sand can significantly reduce the amount of sand needed to fix the problem.

🌱 Adding sand to the cracks in the soil helps prevent water from going straight down into the cracks and allows it to slowly settle and distribute evenly.

🌱 Cracking soil can damage plant roots and decrease their lifespan and productivity.

🌱 Watering the garden with sand-filled cracks allows the water to set the sand in place and minimize water loss.

🌱 This method is an effective way to reduce soil cracking and ensure proper water distribution in the garden.

🌱 Taking precautions and being prepared, such as using sand in soil cracks, can prevent potential problems and ensure a successful garden.
