Hi Dennis:

Soil does not become low fertility soil due to compaction. The

reverse is true, compaction of soil is due to low soil fertility.

Neither are anerobic microbes a cause of low soil fertility nor

aerobic microbes a cause of high soil fertility, both are the result

of either low soil fertility or high soil fertility. As in the

medical profession, you can't mistake symptoms for causes. Add

aerobic microbes to low soil feritily and in the long run you don't

get high soil fertility, you get dead microbes which need to be

added again. That is good for the microbe sellers. Improve your soil

fertility and you will have no need to add aerobic microbes, they

will just show up on their own.
