Question response

when you look at the soil block in your hand straight down to the molecules, what you see is microbes and bacteria eating away at the soil and chemicals in the soil, and breaking them down into nutrients for the plants. this in turn would provide the soil with rich ingredients, and then it is able to feed the plants. the soil would be moist and full of nutrients, the soil would be a very fine earthy texture with not to much extra debris to screw up plant growth, because most would have been broken down. the soil would be ideal for planting plants the thrived in rich damp soil with low pH levels. other plants that did not need such rich soil would be better planted in a later year, in soil with perhaps a higher pH level.
