If we have a vacant field, spot or a pot does not matter. What matters is deciding to come into contact with these quiet friends who speak: plants. Good land for cultivation should be fluffy, airy, balanced in minerals and organic substances.
If the clay content is high, soil cakes and expel its structure large amount of air at the same time retain moisture, producing eventually rot the roots. On the contrary, if the component is abundant sand grains consist of small waterproof moisture will pass down to what will bring little benefit to plant growth.
Organic materials in the home garden

But agree to a garbage heap in a corner to break down organic matter. Stir every so often, mix well and keep soil moist, you get to plastering. It should also cover it with plastic to facilitate decomposition. Over time, this land is incorporated into the garden ready, garden or potted plants and acknowledges the difference in power.
