Earthworms burrow several feet deep. Earthworms do not like unfavorable soil conditions. They cannot live in strong acid soils, or in to dry or waterlogged soils. Also there are a lot more little micro bugs that will produce plant food in the soil due to the increased oxygen in the soil. Secondly, we found that a magnesium imbalance will cause the soil to be tighter, and cause water to run off, carrying soil particles, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus.
Calcium has the ability to make the soil act like a sponge to absorb water and oxygen.
This in turn reduces runoff and lowers input costs by retaining the nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus. With the soil in balance, and the reduction or elimination of chemical inputs, what we plant and grow now has improved food or feed value. This is cutting edge economics.
