Soil & Water Basics

Soil is more than ground—it’s the heart of your garden.
Water is more than routine—it’s the garden’s voice, asking to be heard.
Together, they decide what thrives and what withers.
Healthy soil should be loose, well-drained, and rich in organic matter. Loamy soil, a mix of sand, silt, and clay, is ideal for most plants. Regular composting improves structure and fertility. Watering needs vary—overwatering is just as harmful as neglect. The golden rule? Water deeply, but less often, and always check moisture 2–3 inches below the surface. Pairing good soil with thoughtful watering is the secret behind thriving, disease-resistant plants.
