Ans 1) Two parts manure, three parts baalu mitti is best soil mix

Ans 2) A layer of manure 2-3 inch thick on soil bed and mix by hoeing 6 inch deep in soil

Ans 3) It gets compact and plants roots start rotting in it

Ans 4) No need to change it, just add a layer of manure 2-3 inch thick every 6 months
