What is the ideal soil composition for a vegetable garden?
assistant
The ideal soil composition for a vegetable garden should be high in both organic matter and nutrients, with a pH that is slightly acidic (between 6.0 and 6.8). The soil should have good drainage and air circulation, and it should be loose and easy to work with. Compost, leaves and other materials should be added to the soil to add organic matter and improve soil structure. Finally, having a good balance of minerals in the soil helps plant growth and health and can be achieved by adding a complete fertilizer to the garden.
