Air, moisture and nutrient content are ways to compare compost and soil. Soil can be nutrient- and water-deficient in the case of sand and nutrient- and water-retentive in terms of clay and loam. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost may be added to correct air, moisture and nutrient deficiencies or excesses through amending, fertilizing or mulching actions.
