Soil.

Soil. Lovely lovely soil. It isn't just mucky brown stuff that makes your mum angry when you don't take your shoes off and accidentally tread it on her carpet, it's fuel for plants. And well looked after soil can be ROCKET FUEL for plants. Of course, not all plants like the same kinds of soil, and knowing about the super fascinating secret world of soil is important if you want to be a good gardener.
