Many people are concerned about soil conservation.
During heavy rains, it isn't at all uncommon to see rivers, creeks and even the roads turn erosion red. Preventing erosion with silt fences and catch basins is important. But many landscapers, gardeners and even farmers are realizing that conservation isn't enough. Conservation is good, but on most land in this area it is possible to improve soil quality. The physical, chemical and biological properties of a soil determine its quality.
