Improve Soil By Organic Matter - To Improve Your Soil Condition, Drainage And FertilityBook Preview:Adding organic matter to Houston soils is the best thing you can do to improve your soil condition, drainage and fertility.

Generally speaking, when you hold soil in your hand and squeeze tight, it should stick together, then fall apart easily.
