A healthy soil is productive, sustainable and profitable. But what exactly does ‘soil health’ mean for vegetable growers? Soil health is not a consistent attribute that applies to all soils. It is not absolute, or the same, for all soil types, environmental and management conditions. This fact sheet discusses how a soil health status or soil condition can provide insights into a soil’s capacity to fulfil all soil functions. It also outlines how soil organic matter and soil organic carbon can indicate the physical, chemical and biological benefits associated with soil health.
Soil Wise is funded by the National Landcare Program Smart Farms Small Grants – an Australian Government initiative. It is supported by Healthy Estuaries WA – a State Government program.
Perth NRM and RegenWA acknowledge the significant early support of the State Natural Resource Management Program, and its critical role in establishing RegenWA.
