Struggling with poor yields? Check your soil

 The pH of your soil is one of the most important factors in determining its fertility [Phares Mutembei, Standard]

Good harvest starts with the soil. However, farmers often ignore the significance of good soil preparation on the overall performance of the crop.

No crop will grow well without healthy, fertile soil. It's like expecting a baby to grow into a healthy adult without food and water. Good soil not only stabilises plants and influences how well roots are anchored, but also provides the essential nutrients, water, and air that plants need. If you start with poor soil, your crops will struggle to achieve their full potential. To achieve this, you need to understand the chemistry and composition of your soil and create a desirable environment for your crops to thrive. Good soil take time to achieve, it is a process, but once you master the basics, it becomes easier.
