Start by applying vermicompost, well-rotted cow dung, or composted kitchen waste around the base of existing plants to boost organic matter. Use liquid biofertilizers like PSB (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria) or Azotobacter to enhance nutrient uptake. You can also mulch the soil with dry leaves or straw to improve moisture retention and microbial life. Over time, this builds soil structure and fertility without disturbing existing plants.
