Compost, mulch and soil life

Healthy soil is alive, and feeding that life pays off season after season. Here you’ll read about compost, bokashi, leaf mold, manure and mushroom compost, worm castings, earthworms, mycorrhizae, biochar and humic acids, plus how roots feed the life around them. Mulch gets its own guide on types, depth and timing. If you’re deciding what to add for nutrients rather than organic matter, see [Amendments and pH](/soil-and-watering/soil-amendments-ph/).
