How are you increasing aeration and decreasing compaction by tilling and breaking up
All the networks or bacteria and fungi that keep the soil loose and aerated? Our mixes are already so aerated and light compared to
Outdoor soils, I don't even get why this is a concern?
the physical act of watering will compact soils, especially if you have to do it in a real hurry like i often do. mixing it up and re-potting will also increase the pore size in the mix.
have you not noticed how the soil level in a container will drop throughout time? some of this is down to elements being used but most of it is down to compaction. like i said i dont use myco so this removes the biggest disadvantage of tilling my soil (edit)
as i mentioned before, im just telling how i do it and get great results - thats not to say you cant get great results doing it another way
