Recommended soil
Mix type
A sandy, well-draining mix (50% sandy loam + 30% compost + 20% coarse sand). Great for root crops and drought-lovers.
Target pH
Neutral (pH ~6.5–7.0) — the sweet spot for most vegetables and herbs.
What to mix in
- Top with 2–3 inches of finished compost before planting.
- Mix in a balanced organic fertilizer (5-5-5) at planting time.
- Add extra compost mid-season — sandy mixes dry out fast.
Special needs
- Potato: acidic pH
- Strawberry: acidic pH
