2. Soil Moisture:

• Ensure moist but well-drained conditions

• Avoid waterlogged or excessively dry soil to promote nutrient uptake

3. Soil Type:

• Loamy soil is preferred for most perennials

• Sandy soils should be enriched with compost

• Clay-heavy soils may need aeration and organic matter for improved drainage

4. Organic Matter:

• Add compost or well-rotted manure annually to improve nutrient retention and soil health
