🌿 Ideal Soil Conditions

To make the most of this high-powered fertilizer, ensure your soil is in ideal condition:

1. Soil Type:

• Use loamy soil for best results — it balances drainage, aeration, and nutrient holding

• Avoid heavy clay unless amended with organic matter or sand

2. Soil pH:

• Target pH: 6.0–7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral)

• Test your soil before applying; adjust with lime (to raise pH) or sulfur (to lower pH) if needed

3. Soil Moisture:

• Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained

• Raised beds tend to dry quickly — mulch helps retain moisture

• Avoid overwatering which can leach nutrients

4. Organic Matter:

• Mix in compost or aged manure to improve structure and microbial activity

• Organic content helps slow-release nutrients and improve overall soil fertility

5. Soil Preparation:

• Loosen compacted areas

• Clear weeds and ensure uniform soil texture

• Blend in compost for added nutrient boost and structure
