Hey guys, I am a software engineer and a farmer in India. I just wanted to say that your videos have been helping me quite a lot for the last couple of years. I also follow the information provided by the Indian Institute of Soybean Research but trust me guys my national institute gives shitty useless information. I just want you guys to post more and more videos because you are making a big difference in my yield.
Great insight! I Can soil layers be 100 percent free of compaction? And at what depth in the soil will compaction have little or no effects on corn roots growth?

It's a pretty big molecule compared to other ones, so it makes the soil more porous/resistant to being compacted. Imagine a bucket full of small pea gravel and how big the air gaps in that are, then imagine mixing in some bigger gravel (this represents something like calcium) and how the larger material would create more air space since it can't fit together as well. Hope this helped!
You say that you must avoid compacting again after the soil layers have loosened. BUT you don't say how? Why not mention the elephant in the room - Controlled Traffic Farming!
I love the way you explained this topic. Made it so easy to understand

What does Calcium do for compaction?
