It is a heated volcanic glass that enhances soil aeration and drainage
in mixes. Its lightweight, porous structure prevents compaction, aiding root growth.
This method expands when heated and improves soil aeration and moisture
retention. It retains water and nutrients, beneficial for plants that prefer moist
conditions.
It enriches the soil with organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms,
enhancing structure, moisture retention, and fertility. This boosts plant growth, aiding
nutrient absorption and disease resistance.
The method helps in replenishing the nutrients in potting mixes,
supporting plant photosynthesis, growth, and reproduction.
Rotating crops aids in preventing soil depletion by varying nutrient
demands and reducing pest and disease pressure.
Planting cover crops can protect the soil from erosion, suppress weeds,
and add organic matter when they are included in the soil.
Use biochar to improve soil structure, water retention, nutrient
availability, and microbial activity.
