compost!!
im so excited someone asked!
by putting aside eggshells, apple sking, orange peels, etc
and mixing it with leaves can create a nutritional fertelizer type
soil booster. mix it with your soil in a garden and your plants will look way healthier and bigger, maybe, than store bought chemical fertelizers. try it, good luck!
oh......and you'll need a large barrel with a lid to store it, and roll the barrell on its side around every few days to shake it up. for more info, wikipedia or Google might have some tips
Soil nutritional content can also be improved by tilling the previous year's crop residue into the soil. If the previous year's crop was successful, there is a large portion of the nutrition still left in the residue. Any deficiencies can be made up over time with the application of whatever fertilizing material the farmer desires.

What are two way farmers can protect the mineral content of the soil?
plant long rooted plants(this will help hold down the soil) and keep it damp
What is soil sanity?
Soil salinity means the saltiness of the soil.
How does soil effect an ecosystem?
It will affect the chemical content in the soil because it helps determine which plants will grow faster. Also the types of plants that grow in an ecosystem depends if it's a fertile soil, it will nutrient and help the plants thrive. :)
What is soft soil?
soft soil is that type of sojl in which water content is more $ strength of this soil is very poor.
How can you prevent soil exhaustion?
By either leaving the soil to go fallow which is leaving it to grow weeds for a year to allow the nutrients to return to the soil naturally or you could plant specific plants that compensate each others nutritional needs such as one type that requires alot of nitrogen with one that releases alot of nitrogen as it rots down. You can also add manure to the soil or you can use man made fertilisers. Also using certain plants that have good root systems to hold the soil together to help maintain the structure of the soil may help too.
The nutritional content of the soil can be maintained or improved by?
crop rotation

Why might one have a worm farm?
Worm farms are beneficial both to the farm owner and to the planet. You make nutritional soil to use and that soil helps the planet by being nutritional.

What is the soil which has the maximum humus content and is extremely fertile?
Black soil has the maximum content and is extremely fertile.
Does sand effect plant growth?
Sand is basically silica, without other minerals or organic content it is pretty sterile; this means that it provides anchorage and porosity to a soil mixture, but does not necessarily provide a nutritional component.
What is biochar?
Biochar is a variety of charcoal which is used as a nutritional supplement for soil.
How do you say soil has water content in?
The water content of soil is expressed as a percentage, i.e. the percentage of the soil that is water. To calculate, weigh the mass of a sample of soil. Let this be W. Then dry the soil in an oven (be careful not to burn it) and weigh the dry soil. Let this be D. The soil moisture content, M = W-D/W x 100.
Which crop enriches nitrogen content in the soil?
Which of the following enriches the soil
Which of these is NOT a mineral content of soil?
potassium
