🌱 Optimizing Soil Conditions for 10-10-10 in Raised Beds

To make the most of your fertilizer, raised bed conditions should meet the following:

1. Soil pH:

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

• This pH range allows for maximum nutrient uptake

• Amend if necessary with lime or sulfur to correct imbalances

2. Soil Moisture:

• Soil should remain consistently moist but well-drained

• Raised beds often drain well — monitor regularly to prevent drought or oversaturation

• Moisture supports even nutrient absorption

3. Soil Type:

• Ideal: Loamy soil rich in organic material

• Avoid:

  • Sandy soil (drains too fast, nutrients leach quickly)

  • Clay soil (holds water, restricts aeration)

• Amend sandy soils with compost to boost nutrient retention

• Add sand/organic matter to clay soil to improve drainage

4. Organic Matter:

• Add compost, aged manure, or peat moss to enhance fertility

• Improves structure, supports beneficial microbes, and boosts soil health

• Especially important in raised beds that may dry quickly

5. Soil Preparation:

• Weed and Loosen Soil before applying

• Loosened soil improves root growth and fertilizer distribution
