PDC LESSON 4.3 SOIL – BASIC SOIL TYPES

Basic soil types. Understanding soil

Bacteria that feed on the organic matter in the soil are also working in unison with enzymes. Like bacteria, enzymes are small. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the top of the soil for this can be deceptive. Do you know at you scratch the mulch aside and look that the   forms of roots from the plants are also like a lamp life that help breakdown anything?

Moisture is drawn up is of organic origin. Enzymes are simple from underneath the soil as well as from the top. Watering can so proteins that need the presence of minerals to easily be overdone and this does nothing but leach out your precious do their job. The soil is composed of all the watering. Learn to observe and look for the signs.

 

•         Aim to have your soil absorb water but not become waterlogged.        Good drainage is very essential.

•         Compaction can also be a real problem and the soil needs to be opened           up.

•         Next time you dig a hole for a tree or a fence post, dig to about three feet down. This will enable you to observe your soil profile.
