Soil is basic to our lives. Soil is where plants grow. Soil is also important to our air. It gives off gasses and absorbs them. It filters the water before it goes into storage.
Healthy soil has a lot of water in it. In soil there is 25% water. A Lot of minerals are in soil. If you want big crops, then you need the water and the minerals. Healthy soil has a lot of bugs and animals. They work day and night.
The fruit and veggies we eat, the cotton in our clothes, the wood for our houses, they are all made in soil. One cup of soil can hold as many bacteria as there are people on earth. Plants can take away 2000 pounds
