Soil structure is determined by how individual soil particles aggregate. Good soil structure allows for water, oxygen, and microorganisms to penetrate the soil and that, in turn, increases the amount of nutrients available to plants. Structure can be influenced greatly by management. Consistently adding compost to a soil will improve its structure, increase its water-holding capacity, and make it easier to work in the long run.
