Q: Is diatomaceous earth natural?

• <div><p>Food-grade diatomaceous earth is a natural product that comes from diatoms&mdash;fossilized aquatic organisms from tens of millions of years ago. Food-grade diatomaceous earth is considered &quot;natural,&quot; while pool or filter-grade diatomaceous earth has been treated and transformed to have higher crystalline silica content.</p></div>

Q: How deep should decomposed granite be?

• <div><p>The depth of your decomposed granite depends on its intended use, but around 3 to 4 inches is the most common depth. Driveways that need to support a lot of weight should be at a depth of no less than 6 inches. Walkways that won&rsquo;t see a lot of weight but lots of foot traffic should be built at a depth of 3 to 4 inches, and patios should also be between 3 and 4 inches deep.</p></div>

Q: What wood is bad for mulch?

• <div><p>Wood from black walnut, magnolia, eucalyptus, red maple, and invasive species like tree of heaven are not recommended for mulching. These trees release allelochemicals that can suppress plant growth. Some homeowners, however, use wood from these trees for mulching if it is less potent due to age or concentration, or if the plants are not as sensitive to them.</p></div>

Q: Are Rotting Leaves Good for Soil?

• <div><p>Yes, rotting leaves can be good for your soil. The decaying leaves release nutrients into the soil that can boost the health of your plants, and the organic matter also helps improve airflow and water drainage.</p></div>

Q: What soil do you use for edible plants?

• <div><p>Generally, you want the soil for your edible plants to have good drainage, organic matter for nutrients, a loose texture (like loam soil), and a balanced pH level. However, the type of plants you're growing will dictate the exact characteristics your soil needs to thrive. For example, brussels sprout prefers more acidic soil, while broccoli prefers more alkaline soil. </p></div>
