Garden beds and soil types

Growing in the ground starts with knowing your soil. We show how to test it, run a jar test for texture and work with clay, sand or caliche. You’ll also find raised beds, straw bales, hugelkultur and keyhole gardens, plus cover crops, crop rotation, solarizing, no till versus tilling and fixing compacted beds. Buying topsoil? There’s a checklist for that too.
