soil

Question

I live in a patio home..the top soil was taken off ..I have tried to have flowers in a small area but they all look light green and the leaves turn yellow..The soil is very hard even though I have brought in bags of garden soil and compost..What more do I need ? Help

Answer 1

I would recommend a soil test to determine what amendments your garden needs.
Your County Extension Office can help with a soil test.
