HOW IT WORKS

What Happens Below the Surface Matters Most

Plant success begins in the environment we do not see: the root zone.

ROOT ZONE SCIENCE

The Mechanism in Four Parts

1

Porosity

Pores create a physical structure different from highly compacted soil.

2

Moisture

The structure can hold part of the moisture in the root zone depending on conditions.

3

Air

Pore space supports air movement through the medium.

4

Root Zone

Better water-air-structure balance creates a more suitable root environment.

The Right Comparison

Dense medium: lower aeration, water imbalance and greater root stress.
Improved medium: better structure, more air spaces and improved moisture management.
