Two Definitions of soil?

Two Definitions of soil?

 As defined by Hans Jenny, the Father of Soil Science: 

1. Mineral: Sand, silt, clay - All minerals properly balanced 

2. Organic matter

3. (Aerobic) Organisms



---

As defined by the “Green Revolution” and scientists trained by the chemical industry: 

1. Mineral: Sand, silt, clay - All minerals properly balanced

2. Inorganic, soluble, minerals (NPK) must be added to this ‘inert support matrix’ to supply plants with nutrients



---


Conclusion: The corporates have altered the definition of soil.

Soil Structure

Soil Structure - Sand, Silt, and Clay are defined by their particle size Bacteria and Fungi (B&F) break down Parent Material (rocks & pebbles, etc.) into smaller and smaller particles, resulting in sand, silt, and clay particles. They do this so they can extract the nutrients they need, e.g. Iron, Boron, Magnesium, etc., by producing enzymes; acidic (Fungi) or alkaline (Bacteria) which enable them to deconstruct the crystalline structure of the parent materials and that of the sands, silts, and clays. This process releases nutrients that are absorbed by B&F, which are then on their way to becoming available to plants (plant-available nutrients). Soil results in clean water; dirt results in problems  Thank you for reading.

 All the mineral nutrients plants need are already in soil! Why would there be a need to add more minerals? Why do plants grow better when inorganic fertilizers are added?  Answer: Because mineral nutrients have to be converted to SOLUBLE forms for plants to take them up What converts minerals to soluble forms?
