The Nitty-Gritty of Soil

(Newswire.net — June 22, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Most people don’t enjoy getting dirty but dirt is exactly what plants need to grow as the quality and water retention ability of soil is their main concern for them to be happily rooted. Water is particularly important and the My Agricultural Information Bank website details its extensive value as follows:

·       Soil water functions as a solvent and deliverer of food nutrients for plants to grow

·       Plant growth is more often determined by the amount of water/moisture available above the deficiency of other food nutrients

·       Soil water acts as a nutrient in and of itself

·       Soil moisture regulates soil temperature

·       Soil forming processes and weathering depend on water supplied

·       Microorganisms need water for their metabolic activities

·       Soil water aids in the chemical and biological activities of soil

·       It is a major component of the growing plant

·       Water is vital for photosynthesis

These are the reasons why having the ideal soil is essential. Each type of plant requires a different soil composition to meet the aforementioned needs and the HealthyWiser™ 3-in-1 Soil Meter makes it easier to understand and deliver exactly what a plant demands.
