Most flower beds benefit from organic matter, which helps soil hold moisture and drain well.
How
- Mix a few inches of compost into new beds
- Top-dress existing beds with compost each year
- A soil test from your local extension service shows pH and nutrients
- Avoid working wet soil, which compacts it
- Don't overdo fertilizer; it can mean leaves instead of flowers
