Hey, everyone! I'm working on a summer research project to study the soil at my garden, and I'm super excited about it! I live in zone 7b, but I'm not very knowledgeable about soil health. My soil is pretty clay-heavy and has a lot of rocks, so I'm looking for any advice or recommendations on what specific aspects of soil health I should focus on. Any tips or resources you could point me towards would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

Check out "Soil Science for Gardeners" by Robert Pavlis! It's a fantastic resource that's really thorough yet easy to understand. I also recommend "Secrets to Great Soil" for composting and mulching tips, and "The Soil Will Save Us" if you want to dive into the bigger picture of how soil health impacts the planet. You'll find a lot of useful info there!
You might want to consider reading "Teaming with Microbes" by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis. It's a great book that digs into the relationship between soil and the organisms within it. Perfect for understanding how everything works together in your garden!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
