In Medicine Hat, soil compaction is a common challenge, especially in lawns and gardens where heavy traffic and water evaporation can compact the soil over time. Compaction reduces pore space in the soil, limiting water infiltration and root growth, and suffocating essential soil biology. Compost can help combat this by enhancing soil structure. Rich in organic matter, compost encourages microbial life, which plays a critical role in breaking up compacted soils. Microorganisms and earthworms attracted to compost create channels in the soil, improving aeration and allowing water, nutrients, and roots to move more freely. By increasing the soil’s ability to retain water and resist further compaction, compost provides a natural way to restore and rejuvenate soil health, leading to healthier plants and lawns when spring arrives.
At TRAD Worm Industries, we produce top-quality compost and worm castings, perfect for tackling compaction and boosting soil biology.
