Avoid disturbing the soil in your garden. This can expose the dormant weed seedlings to light and bring them up to the surface, which makes them easier to get rid of.

Add Organic Matter

Organic matter in soil, made up of decaying plant and animal material, enhances the structure and water-holding capacity, aeration and the root penetration of garden soil. It also feeds many microorganisms, which create a healthy ecosystem in soil.

Insufficient organic matter in garden soil can cause it to become clumpy, forming clay-like clods which limit the flow of water and nutrients. Organic matter helps to bind the soil particles into porous granules or crumbs which enable air and water to move through the soil. Organic matter retains moisture (humus can hold up to 90 percent of its weight in water) and can absorb and store nutrients until needed by the plant's root systems. It also provides a home for beneficial organisms that break down weeds and other harmful organisms.

raised garden beds  of garden soil can benefit from the addition of organic material, however it is particularly important for clay- and sandy soils. Organic material can improve the ability of sandy soils to hold and release water and nutrients and also loosen and aerate clay soils.

Materials such as coffee grounds, banana peels or shredded leaves as well as grass clippings are all good. These can be added to your compost pile which will provide organic matter and feed earthworms which will improve the aeration and fertilization of your garden soil. You can also purchase bags of amendments such as peat moss composted cow manure pine bark fines and even potting mix (which often includes perlite, which is a light potting additive that aids in aeration).

Work organic matter into your soil prior to when you plant each season. Apply unfinished, raw organic matter such as manure, rotten leaves or compost to the soil a month prior to when you plan to plant, so that it can break down and be made available to your plants. If your soil is sandy or clayey, apply 1 to 2 inch of material. If the soil is fertile and loamy and loamy, you may need to use less.
