Utilize Raised Beds or Containers

5
  1. Solution: Build raised beds or use large containers filled with imported soil/potting mix.
  2. Explanation: If native soil is extremely poor (rocky, contaminated, heavy clay), raised beds or containers allow you to create an ideal growing medium from scratch using a mix of topsoil, compost, and other amendments like peat moss or perlite. This bypasses the problem of amending difficult existing soil.
  3. Notes: Higher initial cost but provides immediate control over the growing medium. Good solution for challenging sites.
