Improve Soil Structure

---

 Well-structured soil allows water to penetrate more easily, reducing runoff and ensuring plants receive adequate moisture1. 

 A well-structured soil has ample pore spaces, allowing air to circulate freely. This is crucial for root respiration and the activity of beneficial soil organism 

 Good soil structure provides a stable environment for roots to grow and expand, improving plant stability and nutrient uptake

 Strong soil aggregates resist erosion by wind and water, preserving topsoil and maintaining soil fertility4.  Strong soil aggregates resist the erosion of wind and water by the soil microbes producing their organic acids and alkaline glues, preserving topsoil and maintaining soil fertility

 Good soil structure supports a diverse community of microorganisms, insects, and other organisms that contribute to soil health and fertility

 Soil aggregates are clumps of soil particles bound together by organic matter, clay, and microbial activity. Good soil aggregation improves water infiltration and retention, reduces erosion, and enhances root growth
