Soil Building
Human activities as diverse as constructing homes and overusing fertilizers and pesticides affect the ground beneath our feet – the soil. Regular use of pesticides and fertilizers take a toll on soil because these actions can suffocate essential soil life.
Did you know that...
- Soil provides air, water and nutrients for plants and also serves as nature's environmental protector?
- In the Puget Sound region, sand or clay form the basis for most soils and that the soil is most likely a thin layer of glacial till, not very rich in organics?
- Adding compost and mulch to soil is the best ways to improve soil health?
- Improving the soil can actually help Hood Canal chum and Puget Sound Chinook salmon, which are protected under the Endangered Species Act?
