Are You Ready For Fall?
Thermometers here in the Miami Valley have hovered at the 90+ degree mark since late June. There has been little rain at my house and afternoon scattered showers only intensified the humidity. Yet the sound of an early morning bus picking up children for school reminds us that the summer is coming to an end.
Clay Soil
Clay soil: Add organic material such as compost or peat moss. Till or spade to help loosen the soil. Since clay soil absorbs water very slowly, water only as fast as the soil absorbs the water.

Loamy Soil
Loam soil: The best kind of soil. It's a combination of sand, silt, and clay. Loam absorbs water readily and stores it for plants to use.

Sandy Soil
Sandy soil: Add organic material to supplement sandy soil. Otherwise, the water can run through it so quickly that plants won't be able to absorb it.
