Frequently asked gardening related questions
Organic gardening promotes healthy soil structure by continuously adding diverse organic matter. This organic matter glues soil particles together into stable aggregates, creating pore spaces for air and water. Earthworms and other soil organisms, encouraged by organic methods, also create tunnels and burrows, further improving aeration and drainage. Avoiding heavy tilling or compaction preserves this delicate structure, leading to a crumbly, well-drained, and aerated soil that supports robust root growth.
