From sand to soil: a Perth gardener's guide (ebook)
Do you live in Perth? Is your garden filled with desert beach sand rather than actual soil? Do your plants shrivel and die every February and have you been trying, in vain, to throw expensive products at your garden beds, only to find they revert to the same old dry, grey, sandy muck every summer?
I feel your pain!
Perth is - let’s be honest - a ridiculous place to try to grow a garden - blistering, dry summers, 40 degree heatwaves, droughts and ‘soil’ that is mostly nutrient-depleted, limestone-rich, moisture repellant sand. It is a challenge, to be sure.
But it’s also not as hard to fix your soil as you might think. The problem is it’s nearly impossible to find simple, practical, Perth-centric advice. And unfortunately people who haven’t lived in Perth and haven’t attempted to garden here, just don’t get it.
That’s why I created this guide.
Because I believe that improving Perth’s crappy soil can be a lot simpler than most guides make out. In this guide, I outline every detail of my simple method and the gardening habits that have turned my garden from a sandpit into a thriving ecosystem (there are even worms in my soil now!).
I’ve been using these methods (and just a handful of locally sourced products) in my garden for the last ten years, and it really does work.
This 30 page ebook explains:
The specific challenges of Perth soil and why our unique soil structure sets gardeners up to fail
How to assess and understand your soil structure to work out what it needs
What to add to your soil to improve its structure (so it actually starts to hold onto water)
How to boost your soil nutrients for healthy plants
When and how to mulch, and what to use
Advice on digging your soil and planting your garden to maximise soil health
