Soil Science In these videos we will discuss Soil PH, Soil Structure and Soil Horizons. All three have an impact on the plants you can grow in your soil. Soil pH Before investing in your garden it’s important to check you soil conditions to check to see which plants will not only grow but will thrive. In this video I explain soil pH and how you can check and test. Soil Structure describes the way the individual soil particles such as Clay, Loam, Sand, Silt, or Organic Matter are arranged and the pore spaces between them that hold the water and air vital for plant life. A balance of soil water and air is also vital for supporting beneficial soil organisms. Soil Horizons When inheriting a garden or allotment, moving into a new development or even taking over a field, it is important to dig a little deeper and check your soil horizons. Buried rubbish or rubble are easily hidden by a 'green rug' of a lawn. You might have a compacted clay layer creating an underground 'pan' or even find your grass is laid over a concrete carpark which will cause your garden to flood and deeper rooting plants to die. So as well as checking your soil type and soil pH its also important to dig a little bit deeper and check just 'What lies beneath'!
