Have you ever thought about the effects of getting carbon into the soil?

Did you know that a 1% increase in soil organic carbon equates to about a 2% increase in water holding capacity? So a soil with a water holding capacity of 200mm will hold an additional 4mm of water.

There is currently interest in the transfer of carbon from the atmosphere back into the soil. Farmers are beginning to look at carbon markets, just as they look at crop markets to improve their bottom line.
