The Benefits of Healthy Soil
Healthy soil benefits plants, people, and the environment at large. Some of the benefits of healthy soil include:
- Healthy soil creates healthy plants that are less vulnerable to pests and disease.
- Healthy soil sticks together and has a sponge-like structure. It holds moisture and prevents erosion.
- Healthy soil captures, filters, and infiltrates stormwater.
- Healthy soil suppresses weeds.
- Healthy soil captures and stores carbon.
- Healthy soil produces high yields without the need for harmful chemical inputs—for vegetable gardens and large farms alike.
- Healthy soil produces the highest-quality, most nutritious vegetables!
