LEESPORT- “Have
you ever wondered why
your topsoil seems so
hard and soaks up water
so slowly?” asks Duane
E. Physer, district
conservationist of the
U.S. Soil Conservation
Service in Berks
County.
The reason soil is hard
could be due to a lack of
adequate organic
matter in the topsoil, he
explained.
Organic matter helps
prevent compaction of
the topsoil and keeps the
soil pores open, said
Pysher, adding the
amount of soil pores is
important to the rate of
infiltration of moisture
into the soil thereby
reducing runoff.
“Organic matter
makes the soil easier to
work by improving the
soil tilth through
aeration of the soil,” he
said. “Organic matter
can be added to your soil
in several ways.
Leaving crop residue
on the soil surface and
incorporating it into the
soil during tillage
operations is one
method. Another way is
to plant a green manure
crop for the purpose of
tilling into the soil for
(organic matter, ex

Another way is to
spread organic matter
such as leaves, grass
clippings, animal

Pysher noted ‘‘any of
these methods will
increase the organic
matter of the soil and
will improve its tilth and
ability to absorb ram
water.”
