Soil Amendments for Healthy Gardens
Good soil is the foundation of a productive garden. You can have the best seeds in the world, but without healthy soil, they won't reach their potential. These amendments feed the soil biology — the billions of microorganisms that actually deliver nutrients to your plants.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I add soil amendments?
Apply worm castings and rock dust in early spring before planting, and again as a side-dress mid-season. Fall is also a great time to amend beds before winter cover crops.
Can I use too much worm castings?
Unlike synthetic fertilizers, worm castings won't burn plants. You can apply generously. A 1-2 inch top-dressing per season is a good baseline.
