When your soil is well structured, air, water and plant roots penetrate easily... and there's no need to till to 'aerate' the soil. Applying compost to the soil surface, without disturbing the soil structure and soil organisms allows those soil organisms to thrive and do what they've evolved to do.. break down organic matter, build fertility and improve soil structure... allowing plants to thrive. It's a simple gardening approach based on the perfect model created by Mother nature. #nodig #organ
