What Ultradog is working with is soil that was way below the surface for eons before it was exposed to the light of day and doesn't have a wisp of humous, and nutrients. I have a drainage ditch going through the farm that was dug in 1917. The dug up soil from way below was just piled on the banks of the ditch and eventually was leveled off and farmed. Very little grows on that soil even though it was been fertilized and even manured. The goodie in top soil has develop over thousands of years. It isn't just organic matter alone. The soil needs organic matter first to feed the bacteria that breaks it down and turns it into humous. Bacteria needs oxygen and deep rooted plants create the holes in the soil to carry oxygen down there. When the roots decay more organic matter is added along with nitrogen, and the holes where the roots were are the pathway for water and oxygen.
18 years ago I turned my drainage ditch banks into CRP filter strips. Maybe years of brome grass roots will help it out. I wish I would have planted switchgrass in there because it has a deeper root but it's too late now.
