Скачать или смотреть Urban Soils | OG Soil Smart Series | Episode 11

Hey everyone! Today, we’re tackling a topic that’s especially important if you’re gardening in cities or built-up areas—urban soils. Not all soil is created equal, and in many urban spaces, what’s under your feet may be compacted, poorly drained, or even contaminated. That’s where raised beds and container gardening come in. Sometimes, the best way to grow healthy plants is to go above ground.

Urban gardening isn’t about giving up—it’s about taking control. By choosing the right setup and soil mix, you can create productive, fertile growing spaces almost anywhere: backyards, patios, balconies, and even rooftops.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to:
1. Understand the common challenges of urban soils, including compaction, poor drainage, and potential contamination.
2. Decide when and why to use raised beds or containers as practical solutions for city gardening.
3. Build and manage healthy growing systems above ground, using compost-based soil mixes, proper drainage, and smart maintenance practices for long-term success.
