My last harvest for the season before winter! Time to collect some leaves and make leaf mould to amend soil structure and biology! youtube.com/watch?v=KYxz9…
Does good soil structure protect against compression?
Goo soil structure being good aeration, right balance of water drainage and retention, etc. Do these factors protect the soil from compression from rain, animal traffic, heavy machinery, etc.? Or is it still susceptible? What other factors can contribute?
How soil structure plays a role in plant growth and nutrient circulation?

Super confused. Can soil to be TOO chunky? Like it doesn’t provide enough structure for the roots? Details in comments. v.redd.it/12mabzwp8fw71
Question about soil structure. Can adding too much drainage have the opposite affect? My plants are all in cactus soil with PLENTY of pumice/perlite. Only water when dry. Yet it takes DAYS to dry out. Help! v.redd.it/knrqd0uj7fw71
Newfoundout, Ontario: 1858, thirteen families were forced settled along the ‘colonization road’. In less than three generations, it was abandoned due to poor growing conditions (shallow soil ‘Canadian Shield’ and very short growing season). Several log structures and old farm implements still remain
Orange-utan tester day 22. 5 gallon bag, blackdog phytomax 200, organic soil, only aloe and coconut water so far. She loves LST just like the last one I grew, structure looks the same too. Can't wait for those sweet orange sour diesel terps🤤
My monstera adansonii has dropped loads of its lower/inner leaves. It's time to propagate, but should I just start a new pot full of props and forgo this established root & stem structure? Or is it worth planting them back in this soil alongside leafless stems? reddit.com/gallery/pu6omd
Can you substitute Raschel mesh bags/tubing for PP woven bags for soil+cement+water mix? Or is Raschel bags meant for some specific type of earthbag structure or earthbag mix?
Found A Small Village On The Tibetan Plateau. Are the darker marks around the structures damp soil or are those scorch marks?
Roots from my first fabric pot grow after shaking excess soil away. I'm really surprised at the difference in root structure compared to my previous plastic pot grows!

Last year I tried a '3 sisters planting' for the first time. It's a traditional first nations way of planting where you grow beans to fix nitrogen in the soil, squash as a ground cover, and corn as a structure for the squash and beans to climb. This was our harvest! Highly reccomend
Why don’t the Egyptian pyramids, or any ancient monolithic structure, sink? Wouldn’t the shifting soil, erosion, weight, etc cause them to?
Basically the caption - I was on a walk today and wondered why don’t they sink? Their weight is massive and surely, despite their large area the ground pressure is high enough to cause a noticeable amount of depression, but I’ve never heard anything about it. Why doesn’t this happen?
Ants use soil physics to excavate metre-long tunnels that last decades. The secrets of these impressive architectural structures are being revealed by three-dimensional X-ray imaging and computer simulations, and could be used to develop robotic mining machines. newscientist.com/article/…
How long does soil structure take to form?
We put our (pet) pigs onto a couple of patches of land and they've done an outstanding job weeding, clearing and ahem, fertilising the soil
Anywho. Some spots got heavily turned over and pretty much turned into muddy goo. The areas have been reseeded with grass and a herbal ley mix.
Does anyone know how long it takes for structure to return to the soil? And for a decent sward to form? Because although the grass is long and lush, the soil is still like putty.

I was hoping to turn my back garden into a vegetable garden but I’ve found some kind of structure under the soil. Any ideas what it is and what to do? Is my veggie garden dream a lost cause? reddit.com/gallery/m6gcez
I was going to water my pothos, but then I noticed these yellow egg-like structures in the soil. What are they?
Retaining walls can be required too many aspects whether you plan a concrete retaining wall in a garden or a tall structure to protect against soil from getting eroded.

Update: Let it outside and dry out. Built a wind break that’s doubling as a shade structure too; burlap wrap around stakes and roof tie. Leaves are brittle on the stressed leaves. Soil moisture is reading at a 2. Want to water and take a pH reading but don’t want to drown. reddit.com/gallery/mti9im
can you build structures on hardpan soils? (I know it is not good for planting)
Would a pool be a good option to construct on hardpan soils?
I just noticed that my pothos plant has these yellowish egg-like structures growing in the soil. The container has a large drainage hole on the bottom. I water it about once a week or when the soil feels dry. Any advice?
The Capuchin Monastery in Brno, Czech Republic, is more than just your average 18th century building. Underneath the monastery are 24 mummified bodies preserved in a crypt. The bodies are perserved thanks to the "good geological structure of soil and system of air-holes".

Why are underground tanks or other structures backfilled with aggregate like pea gravel or crushed rock? Why isn’t just the native soil put back in place?
Super elementary civil question but always been curious

This is my first grow from planting seeds directly into soil. Had one die yesterday a week from sprout, was about 4 inches tall and just toppled over and died after starting off strong. When I tossed it, it barely had any root structure. Just bad seed genetics?
I already have my essay for soil science done but I'm not done. Why do legumes add extra phosphorus to soil? I get Nitrogen. Legumes are dicots so different roots to cereals who lap up the P. I'm not reading much on root structure diff. I think bigger roots do more work.
