Soil has various compositions and comes in a variety of forms. Natural soils consist of minerals, organic matter and living organisms that are in balance with surrounding geological features and climate. Soils change with depth. To grow healthy plants and grasses, rich black topsoil with good drainage is best. The pH and salinity of the soil also have to be considered. Analyze your soil and determine what has to be added to make it healthier.
