Soil porosity: Maintaining good air-filled porosity is important, as plants’ roots and soil organisms need oxygen. In water-logged clay soils and compacted soils, ...

Soil is the foundation of our landscapes. Without good soil, plants won’t grow and thrive. Good soil has a mixture of sand, silt and clay, with plenty of organic matter and pore spaces.

Tilling or discing in organic matter to the soil can be beneficial, as it will incorporate faster. However, avoid overtilling the soil, as you can create a hard layer of soil that will prevent ...

After 50 cycles, the researchers observed a 6.8% increase in soil porosity and a 225.6% increase in surface area, both of which contribute to improved soil health. Additionally, the soil’s pH ...
