Soil Preparation for Healthy Plants:
Start by sterilizing your garden soil under the sun for two days to remove pests and pathogens. Mix equal parts of garden soil, coco peat, vermicompost, and cow dung for a rich, nutrient-packed base. Add neem cake (10%) as an organic insecticide, followed by lime chuna or powdered eggshells for calcium and ash for potassium to keep the soil loose.
To maintain soil health, apply a 2-4 inch layer of mulch (like cocoa shells or dried leaves) to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve fertility. This soil mix ensures thriving plants all year round.
