Thank you. This is fascinating. The more I learn, the more there is to learn! I’m a bit confused about oxygen in the soil. From what you’re saying it’s not a good thing to have oxygen in the soil because it causes oxidisation. However, we are also told that compacted soil is bad because it excludes air, and we know that loose friable soil is good for plant growth. Can you explain what I’ve misunderstood please? Thank you,
