Question

A student observes poor growth of plants in a garden containing high clay content. Clay content reduces drainage in soil. Which of these is the best method to improve plant growth in the garden?

add sand to the soil

do not dig or till the soil

water the plants once a month

mix soil with chemicals which absorb the air

Answer 1

Not really a math problem, but one that I've unfortunately had way too much personal experience solving: add sand (and compost).

Answer 2

I know this isnt a math problem, the other areas nobody helps :/

Answer 3

When plants (trees & shrubs) are cleared from a site, soil is exposed to sunlight and the eroding effects of wind and water. Soil aeration is increased and the rate of weathering increases. Apart from erosion, the proportion of organic matter in the soil gradually decreases, through the action of microbes in the soil which use it as a source of energy ‑ unless the new land use provides some replacement.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Clay soil is somewhat helpful in that it does have the capacity to hold a lot of water; it's also possible to have soil that drains too quickly.

Answer 7
