Healthy garden soil with compost and amendments

Soil & Amendments

Soil is more than “dirt”—it’s the living foundation of your garden. Whether you’re growing vegetables on the Prairies, perennials in Ontario, or container herbs on a balcony in Vancouver, the right soil and amendments make all the difference. This section of Canadian Gardening brings together guides on compost, mulch, peat vs. coco coir, soil testing and other practical ways to keep your garden beds healthy and productive.
