1. How Organic Compost Can Yield Huge Results
Even With Problem Soil
I talk to farmers all of the time about
the condition of their soil. There’s
certainly no such thing as “perfect soil”.
A lot of the farmers I talk to have
specific problems with their soil… but no
solutions.
As farmers, we all work with the soil we have. I bet you would
love to have some surefire solutions to the problems you have in
your soil because, of course, better soil means better crops. That
means more profit and more money to your bottom line. Finding
ways to increase the quality of your soil can be a real challenge.
Here is some good news. Adding organic compost to your soil –
no matter what kind it is – can alleviate problems and improve
crop yield.
1. Compacted Soil – this is a common problem found on a lot of
farms. Good soil is loose and crumbly with lots of air spaces in it.
Adding humus to compacted soil will return air spaces and
softness, allowing plant roots to penetrate the soil more easily,
going deeper to add greater stability to the plants and offer
better drought resistance.
2. Sandy Soil – because this soil contains large particles and the
accompanying large air spaces between them, it drains quickly
and therefore dries out readily. Humus added here will act as a
sponge, absorbing and holding water and nutrients far longer.

2. 3. Clay Soil – these are dense and thick, so they contain small air
spaces. And since the soil particles tend to stick together, water
fills the air spaces and drains slowly which causes roots to rot.
Amending this soil with humus will help keep the soil particles
from sticking together so tightly, creating larger air spaces that
drain more easily.
4. “Dead” Soil – soil tends to become sterile (i.e. – dead) over
time as its nutrients are leached out by adverse weather
conditions, removal of topsoil, or over-cultivation. This causes the
number and activity of good microorganisms in the soil to be
depleted. While adding chemical fertilizers will increase nutrients
in the soil that is not self-sustaining. Adding humus to this soil
type adds new microorganisms into the soil and provides
conditions for them to multiply for years to come, thus bringing
the soil back to life.
Amending your soil with organic compost like humus – no matter
what type you have – will improve the general health of your soil
and improve your crop yields. To find out more information on
