Why plants grow faster in a soil?

Answer 1

When someone places compost in a compost pile, decomposers such as worms, or bacteria eat and poop out the compost you through into the pile. The decomposer's poop is very fertile and has a ton of nutrients for a plant to help it grow. Compost helps plants grow because it makes the soil more nutrient rich so the plant can absorb more minerals which helps it grow.
The answer is food. Compost is natures fertilizer Compost also has the benefit of adding organic matter to the soil. Always make sure you use composted material because some green or uncomposted material can actually rob the soil of nutrients as it decomposes. Leaves are a safe uncomposted material just dont use to much.

Now my answer was based the fact you were putting the compost around existing plants but if you have a garden that is dormant and have a tiller you can till the uncomposted material in then plant the next spring.

Answer 2

depends on the wording of your question. growing plants in fertiliser would kill them in about 5 minutes flat. on the other hand growing plants using fertiliser applications would have a faster and more direct result to the plant than growing it in compost as the chemicals in the fertiliser breakdown in water faster than the nutrients in the compost break down. this means that fertiliser nutrients are available almost instantly to plants as opposed to compost where the process of release may take days or weeks.

Answer 3

Beneficial bacteria and fungi and supportive environmental conditions are reasons why mushrooms grow in compost. Mushrooms count among the world's fungi. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic material known as compost or humus recalls the forest and woodland environments where mushrooms may be found growing naturally.

Answer 4

Plants grow faster in soil because it provides essential nutrients, support for roots, and allows for moisture retention. The soil acts as a medium for roots to anchor and absorb water and nutrients, which are important for plant growth and development. Additionally, the structure of soil allows for good aeration and root penetration, which promotes healthy plant growth.

Answer 5

Yes, Most fertilizers supply just Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium which is what plants need the most of.

Answer 6

BeCause the compost is a ferterliser and it helps the plant or plants to grow

Answer 7

Because there is more nutrients in soil rather than dirt
