Soils feed the plants which in turn feed animals that feed us. Including soil in this important chain will help guarantee its success. It provides support for plants and most of the nutrients. Soil is accumulated decomposing plant and animal matter with aging parent material. As the soil components break down elements are released and become available to plants as nutrients. However, naturally, this process takes a long time and the soil will only be a result of the parent material, climate, those living organisms once living there topography, and time. So what is made available to a plant at a certain time may not be exactly what a growing plant needs? Fertilization is supplementing the existing soil with additional, needed nutrients. Fertilizing wisely increases yield, quality (nitrogen content and digestibility), and profits
