How do we prepare the soil for planting?

Before learning how to prepare the soil in the garden we learnt about the importance of soil. The flow chart below describes what we learnt …

 * __The importance of soil __**
 * Food
 * Shelter
 * Laying eggs
 * Resting

__**Preparing the soil **__

Our class is in charge of preparing one third of the soil in Kereru's Butterfly Garden. The soil was hard and compacted together, so our first job was to dig it up and aerate it.
