A Little Food and Water
Garden soil should be loose and easy to move around. When a garden is first planted, keep the soil moist but not too wet. Overwatering may drown the seeds. After the plants have sprouted, water regularly when the soil is dry.
 Plants need healthy soil with nutrients, including nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. These nutrients are found in humus, often called compost, which is made from decomposing plants and other organic matter.
| DID YOU KNOW? Soil is made up of clay, sand, gravel, bits of rock and decayed material.
