It's impossible to overstate the importance of soil health in an agronomic system. Soil structure describes how soil particles (sand, silt, clay) are arranged into aggregates, which in turn influence all aspects of plant growth and system resilience, including nutrient cycling, water retention, root development, erosion resistance, and microbial diversity.

Soil is a farmer's most valuable resource and a natural foundation of your profitability potential. When soil biology becomes unbalanced, there can be negative consequences for nutrient availability, plant decomposition, water infiltration and plant growth and development. Taking care of the soil microorganisms in maintaining nutrient availability and improving soil structure. #YourFarmersGuardian #soilhhealth #TheShambaCalendar

Do you know what’s in your soil? Understanding your soil can help maintain healthy turf and ornamental landscapes. From your pH levels to your macro, micro, and secondary nutrients; you want your soil to be within optimal range. Testing the soil gives professionals the tools they need to diagnose and treat T&O symptoms. Come see or ask about our soil testing options!
