Trevor shows the benefits of cultivating your soil as the weather warms up.

• As summer comes nearer, it's important to assess the soil in your garden and work out what to do.
• Seeds can either be collected manually, or the plants themselves can be incorporated into the soil.
• Once collected, the garden can be cultivated which helps add air and nutrients while also preventing the ground becoming hydrophobic.
• Dynamic lifter can then be added to introduce nutrients whilst enriching the soil with composted organics in the form of chicken manure.
• The final step is to hoe the soil once more to ensure that it is open and aerated and that the Dynamic lifter is evenly mixed into the soil.
