In the second chapter of his five-part mini-series, “Bringing the Science of Soil Health Home,” Buz Kloot, Ph.D. tells farmers and gardeners about the five key lessons he’s learned on his episodic soil health trek across the country. Dr. Kloot discusses critical facts about the nature and properties of soils and reminds viewers that:
1. Soils vary a great deal;
2. Soils are three-dimensional (and are deeper than six inches);
3. An acre of healthy soil contains at least a ton of microbes;
4. Fifty percent of a healthy soils volume is void space, or pore space, and
5. Soils can and do change with management.
