Today I will tell you a little trick, in some areas with heavy soil, it is difficult for flowers and trees to grow well, sawdust can be used to improve the soil. Because sawdust is light, loose, and has a large porosity, it is a good material for improving clayey soil.
Before using, put some cake fertilizer or chicken and duck dung in the sawdust, add water to the jar for fermentation, and then dig it out and dry it to half-dry. Mix 1/3 sawdust into the soil and mix it evenly to increase soil permeability.
