Why Soil Matters

Soil is more than just dirt—it's a living ecosystem that supports plant growth by providing nutrients, water, air, and physical support. Healthy soil contains organic matter, beneficial microbes, and a balanced structure that allows roots to thrive.

Plant Needs from Soil

Plants rely on soil for essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The texture and pH of the soil also influence how well a plant can absorb these nutrients. Understanding your soil type—whether sandy, clay, or loamy—helps you choose the right plants and care techniques.

Sustainable Practices

To maintain healthy plant-soil relationships, consider composting, crop rotation, and avoiding synthetic chemicals. These practices improve soil fertility over time and support biodiversity both above and below ground.
