Common Soil Problems
Common problems that we see are dirt related and can be mitigated over a period of time. How long it will take depends on your situation. We outline a few problems we encounter and their impacts below. Let us know which situation you're in and we'll work on a solution!
- Hydrophobic soil and large cracks drive water away with minimal absorption, taking vital nutrients with it.
- Heavily saturated low lying areas drown plant roots and makes it impossible to grow and fully mature a crop.
- Compacted soil has limited the root depth and nutrient uptake causing reduced resistance to the elements. Roots can not penetrate past the compacted layer.
- Compacted areas are a breeding zone for pests and fungi that wreck havoc on a crop. Compaction is a large contributor to profit loss in most farming communities.
