In My Newly Built Home I Would Like To Set Up A Garden. My Builder Just Put The Topsoil. When I Plant Soem Trees Or Veggies Shoul

Question

d i add any new soil ? Store bought soil (potting mix) says valid for 6 month. So should i keep changing the soil very 6 months ? will it not affect my plants to dig out & in every 6months.

Answer 1

You can put some extra mix into the soil when you till it up for planting. Instead of digging it out and replacing every six months, though, you can add nutrients or more soil mixes/compost to your garden when it is low on nutrients. Here are some articles that will help:
