Fertile soils have a balanced mix of minerals, organic matter, microorganisms and macroorganisms (like earthworms). Sustainable farmers keep these components in balance by adding compost, minerals, naturally occurring fertilizers (like bloodmeal or bat guano), and by plowing back into the soil crop residues or crops grown specifically for fertility.
