If you’re a casual gardener, you probably go out and buy a bag of potting soil whenever you plant things. Your yard soil probably isn’t great for growing plants, and it’s easier to just buy a bag than to help your own soil out. However, if you are a major gardener and are trying to produce your own food, buying dirt can get quite expensive over time. It’s much cheaper to build up your own soil! Plus, you can make it completely organic. For how to do this, check out this post by Amy at A Healthy Life For Me:
-Make your own compost!
