Soil Amendments for Organic Gardening | Planet Natural
Most soil amendments are added to improve the structure of the soil, to increase the organic content so that the soil is more capable of holding nutrients and moisture.

You can always add charcoal granules/dust to the soil to hold moisture in dry areas, & it also helps to break down heavier clays too. Just my 2 bits, is all.

I have a lot of hostas and i know deer and rabbits like them when they start growing each spring, so i planted green onions (annual) all around the gardens about 3yrs ago, and they all keep coming up every year. Works great and we have plenty of green onions.
