👉 Shirring is a type of soil amendment that is commonly used in agriculture to improve soil fertility and reduce erosion. It consists of a mixture of organic matter, such as compost or manure, and water, which is added to the soil to promote better plant growth and prevent erosion. Shirrings are often used in conjunction with other amendments such as lime, sand, and gravel, to create a more complete soil amendment system that can improve soil quality and productivity.
