The Role of Organic Matter in Healthy Soils
24.07.2023 - 12:17 / hgic.clemson.edu
The physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil work together to make it a complex, dynamic, and living substance. The role of organic matter in soil health is vital. Soil organic matter facilitates the interactions between the soil properties.
Study the pie chart representation of an ideal gardening soil below.
Based on the chart, it might be tempting to conclude that organic matter is inconsequential to soil health. However, just as a relatively small amount of oil keeps an automobile’s engine running smoothly, organic matter keeps healthy soil functioning optimally.
Soil layers, texture, and structure are physical soil properties. Soil layers are distinct horizontal zones in the soil, arranged like layers of lasagna, from the topsoil down to the bedrock. Soil texture is determined by the proportion of sand, silt, and clay mineral particles. Soil structure refers to the aggregation of soil particles and the arrangement of those aggregates with each other. Well aggregated soil drains water properly and exchanges air with the atmosphere providing an ideal home for plant roots.
Soil pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and mineral nutrients are chemical soil properties. Most gardeners are aware of the roles mineral nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium play in plant health. However, CEC and soil pH determine the amount of mineral nutrients the soil can hold and whether soil nutrients present in the soil are available to the plant.
Soil organisms, including bacteria, fungi, nematodes, worms, insects, plant roots, and small mammals, comprise soil’s biological properties. Soil organisms cycle and retain nutrients, aid water infiltration, suppress disease, degrade pollutants, and improve soil structure.

Tomato Varieties: Sarah Raven picks some of the best
A cherry plum, sweet, thin-skinned and very prolific (you’ll also find it sold under ‘Red Grape Sugar Plum’). It was in the top three of our recent taste test and everyone liked it for its strong tomato flavour that’s sweet but not overly so, and its firm not mushy texture. It has a slight acidity running through it which all sweet tomatoes need. It ripens quite late compared to ‘Sungold’ and produces for a long period of time. It’s lovely in a mixed salad with the larger varieties.

What Are the Differences Between Synthetic and Organic Pest and Disease Products?
How you manage garden pests and diseases is a personal choice, and there are many management philosophies. Two of the most common methodologies are integrated pest management (IPM) and organic pest management. IPM was developed in the 1970s as a response to conventional gardening practices that relied heavily on pesticides. In contrast to those practices, IPM promoted sanitation, the use of disease- and pest-resistant plant varieties, and monitoring pest populations.
