[QUOTE="Clive, post: 846296, member: 6"] Dr Ingram would also put that down to biology - so far we have discussed the ability of biology to extract mineral nutrition and make it plant available but she also presented that it is biology that creates structure in soils by the "glues" that bacteria and fungi provide sticking particles of aggregate together to from crumb her solution to compaction layers was not a subsoiler but to inject tea to the depth of layer - this is done a lot in the USA on amenity land and contractors are common so I guess it must work ?? just took my dogs a walk over some wheat and it all makes sense, my worm numbers are my higher since i set out to raise OM levels - the worms are high in the soil web food chain so if they are present so must be all below them from bacteria and fungi to protozoa and nematodes, my soil has developed better structure despite lack of cultivation, how can that happen if nothing is going on ? i realised i had never really asked myself that question ? it must be the biology thats making the structure from the obvious worms and other larger species right down to the microscopic organisms within the soil, there is no other explanation other than perhaps a bit of effect from weathering freeze/ thaw etc ??
