Why not just add compost, soil conditioner, or even peat moss to improve aeration of tight soils?

0

Compost and soil conditioner are great soil additives especially in soils that have little to no organic content. In fact, it is essential to maintain beneficial microbial activity in the soil. However, it decomposes over a season and soils compact again Organic amendments absorb water and if soils cant drain properly then you have conditions ripe for anaerobic activity which causes soil and plant diseases. PermaTill has a high water release capillary action that means the particle reserve over 90% of their pore and cell spaces just for air.
