Different soil in the garden

 Do any of you go as far as having different soil mixes for different plants
in the garden.  ?

If you are talking about annual vegetables probably not worth it.  You
need to practice crop rotation and I don't know how you would do that
with specific soils in each area.  But yes if you are prepping for
long term plants like asparagus or rhubarb.

For example people usually add manure/compost when planting potatoes, add
lime for bressicas etc.
Or have I got the question wrong? I often do.

Its all good, that's what I meant.

 

Diesel, nice I got it right,
What are you going to grow this year?
I'm no expert but there are loads here who know what to add and what not
to.
You could Google for answers but in my experience you will get lots of duff
advice from a few sites and then distrust everything you read!
I know you are not a rookie but you should, if you do not already, compost
everything you can, and take the time to look after it so that it will be
useful when it all rots down. Kitchen waste(not meat or anything cooked),
garden foliage including lawn mowings, leaves, cardboard, paper, cut
flowers, fruit you forgot to eat, veg in the fridge you let go soft and so
on are perfect. Not many people have chickens yet(give it a couple of years
and they will) but their droppings are very good for the compost heap.
DO NOT USE CAT OR DOG MUCK or any other meat eating animals muck. Yuk.
Apparently and of course they contain microbes harmful to some human
organs, mostly the eyes and liver.
I hope this has been helpful to you
