Organic Matter

 Organic Matter ( Farm yard Manure )

I dig organic matter into my beds every three years.


I do this because:


 

Organic matter provides nutrients for plants and other organisms in soil. 


Organic matter also acts like a sponge, with the ability to hold water. 


Soil with good structure needs input of additional organic matter.


Digging increases oxygen into the soil, which will 


Speed up the breakdown of organic matter making it more available to the crop.
