5 Tips for Healthier Soil with Organic Products

Healthy soil is the foundation of healthy plants. Whether you grow rice, vegetables, fruit trees or ornamentals, regular soil care helps plants grow well and reduces problems over time. Here are five simple tips you can start using right away.

1. Add organic matter before planting

Soil that lacks organic matter tends to be hard and compacted, holds water poorly and makes it difficult for roots to grow. Mixing organic materials into the soil before planting helps improve its structure. PS Earth Planting Soil (C) is made from a blend of filter cake, sugarcane residues and ash. It helps improve soil structure, adds organic matter and creates a better environment for roots. Use it for rice, vegetables and fruit trees: mix it into the soil before planting and adjust the amount to suit your field (50 kg bag, ฿105). For extra nutrients, you can use it together with PS Earth Vermicompost.

2. Don't leave soil bare

Bare soil exposed to sun and rain dries out quickly and erodes easily. Wood Chip Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, moderate soil temperature and reduce erosion. Spread it in an even layer around plants, trees, paths or beds, keeping a small gap around the stems, and top it up as it breaks down (10 kg bag, ฿140).

3. Feed the life in your soil

Living soil depends on microbes that break down organic matter and cycle nutrients. PS Earth Molasses (Industrial Grade) is a food source for microbes and supports composting and soil building. Dilute it before use, mix it thoroughly and follow your usual farm or composting practice (1 L ฿50, 5 L ฿130).

4. Water wisely and stay off the beds

Overwatering leaves soil soggy and starves roots of air, while repeatedly walking or driving over beds compacts the soil. Water when the soil starts to dry, and keep clear paths separate from your growing areas.

5. Observe, adjust gradually and plan ahead

Every piece of land is different. Start with small amounts, watch how your plants respond, and adjust step by step. Where possible, a soil test will show you what your soil is lacking. It also pays to have your materials ready before the planting season begins.
