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 SCIENCE1 2 3 4
The Mechanism in Four Parts
Porosity
Pores create a physical structure different from highly compacted soil.
Moisture
The structure can hold part of the moisture in the root zone depending on conditions.
Air
Pore space supports air movement through the medium.
Root Zone
Better water-air-structure balance creates a more suitable root environment.

BEFORE / IMPROVED
The Right Comparison
Dense medium: lower aeration, water imbalance and greater root stress.
Improved medium: better structure, more air spaces and improved moisture management.
