Healthy soil is soil with a diverse community of microbes and invertebrates maintaining the soil ecosystems. They maintain the soil structure, recycle nutrients from plant and animal waste materials and the mineral particles in the soil and make them available for our crops to reuse.
Issues like compaction, heavy clay, low organic matter, poor water infiltration, and nutrient deficiencies are simply the consequence of soil being in poor working condition.
