How can I improve soil fertility on my organic farm without using synthetic fertilizers? I'm looking for natural ways to enrich the soil and boost crop growth. Any advice or techniques?

Sure, I can some methods that work for very well for me. Improving soil fertility organically is really effective and easy. First, try composting. Use kitchen scraps, garden waste, and animal manure to make compost. This adds rich nutrients to your soil. These plants add nutrients, especially nitrogen, back into the soil and help prevent erosion. You can also use green manure by growing certain crops and mixing them into the soil to enrich it further. Using organic mulch like straw or leaves helps retain moisture, adds organic matter, and keeps weeds down. Crop rotation is also key—rotate different crops each year to keep the soil healthy and reduce pests. Lastly, regular soil testing can help you understand what your soil needs. Following these methods will keep your soil rich and fertile naturally. Happy farming!
