ADD THESE 10 THINGS TO MAKE A PERFECT WELL DRAINING POTTING SOIL | Merry Christmas!

In Today’s gardening video, we will learn how to test your soil for drainage and list out 10 soil amendment stuff you should add into your garden soil to make it a perfect well draining potting mix favourable for healthy plant growth. We will also include some cheap alternatives to perlite and others to mix with garden soil.



What is a Well Draining Soil?


Well-drained soil is a soil where water drains out at a medium rate – neither too quickly nor too slowly. We all know that, If the soil is too wet, plant roots fail to get the oxygen they need and they tend to rot and the plant dies. If the soil has too much air pockets and if it drains out too quickly, plant roots dry out which again is not good for plant growth.
Compacted clay soil is an example of a poorly draining soil, whereas Sandy soil is an example of a fast draining soil.

So, in order to make the perfect or near perfect well draining soil, you need soil amendment and adding one or more of certain stuff or ingredients to your garden soil in proper proportions. Neither too less nor too much.

Let’s list out the top 10 things you should add into your potting soil to achieve this goal.
