Seeds need oxygen for the process of germination, which is limited in subsoil due to poor aeration. Subsoil also tends to be compacted, making it difficult for seed roots to penetrate and access nutrients and water needed for growth. Additionally, subsoil may lack the necessary microbial activity and organic matter to support seed germination and growth.
