🌬️ Day 4: Why Roots Need Air (The Hidden Ingredient)
Plants don’t just drown from too much water.
They drown from lack of oxygen.
Roots actually respire which means they exchange gases just like we do.
When soil becomes compacted:
* Oxygen cannot circulate.
* Roots weaken.
* Harmful fungi thrive in stagnant conditions.
* Root rot can begin.
This is why two gardeners can water the same amount and one loses plants while the other doesn’t.
It often comes down to soil structure.
If you’ve lost plants before, please hear this:
It may not have been your watering habits.
It may have been soil density.
And that’s a fixable problem.
