Dealing with Soil Erosion: Protect Your Garden Soil 🌍
Soil erosion can deplete nutrients and damage plants. Here’s how to prevent it:
1. Mulching: Apply mulch to protect soil from erosion.
2. Cover Crops: Plant cover crops to hold soil in place and improve structure.
3. Terracing: Create terraces on slopes to reduce runoff and soil loss.
4. Ground Covers: Use ground cover plants to protect soil.
5. Rain Gardens: Install rain gardens to capture and absorb runoff.
Tips:
- Avoid leaving soil bare, especially on slopes.
- Regularly inspect and maintain erosion control measures.
- Use organic matter to improve soil structure and water retention.
