Gardening and Landscaping: Why Nutrients In The Soil Is Important?

What is soil definition? How important is the soil for our plants, flowers and our landscape? Soil can be defined as an ordinary section comprised of solids (minerals and organic matter), liquid, and gases. Soil section is differentiated by horizons and layers. Soil layers can be classified into four section and they are Top Soil, Upper Soil, Middle Soil, and Bottom Soil.

The top layer is called the organic layer. This layer is about an inch thick and. the organic layer is rich in nutrients. If you dig more than an inch or two deep, you might be past this layer already. The upper soil layer is where you will find many plant roots, this soil is dark in color and this layer is usually about a foot deep. The middle soil layer has less living activity. The soil here has less air and do not grow well here. The last layer is bottom layer. In this layer you will find that the soil may have an orange or yellowish color. It may be sandier or have more gray clay. At this point I believed you already understand where you plant’s root end pit stop will be right.
