Soil amendment refers to the practice of adding organic or inorganic materials to soil to improve its structure, fertility, and overall health. Amendments can include compost, manure, peat moss, sand, or lime, depending on the specific needs of the soil. The goal of soil amendments is to enhance water retention, drainage, nutrient availability, and pH balance, creating a more hospitable environment for plant growth. Soil amendments are commonly used in gardening, landscaping, and agricultural settings.
