Soil Defined…

"Soil is composed of five ingredients — minerals, soil organic matter, living organisms, gas, and water. Soil minerals contain elements essential for plant growth N-P-K-Ca-Mg etc. Soil organic matter consists of decomposing plant, animal, and microbial residues; it is a critical ingredient." ~the Soil Science Society of America

Soil should be living with biology, organics and minerals; soil should not be a throwaway item.
