I’ve been tasked

To find a word

To set it down

To make it heard

 

It feeds the roots

And makes them grow

What is that word?

I swear I know!

 

Bountiful growth

Blooms so rich

Strength and harmony

A gardening niche

 

The soil is ready

But it need more

A boost, a lift

You can’t ignore

 

The noxious stuff

That feeds with grit

Is called a name

I should omit

 

Manure, compost

Peat and stuff

If you don’t use it

There’ll not be enough
