How to Improve Soil Water Retention

Lack of organic matter in soil reduces water retention. Organic matter not only helps soil retain water, it also creates soil fertility. Organic matter is made from decomposing animal and plant residues and living microorganisms such as earthworms, beneficial bacteria, fungi, protozoa and small arthropods. Each teaspoon of productive soil contains billions of living organisms that help it retain water. "Stabilized organic matter acts like a sponge and can absorb six times its weight in water," says the University of Minnesota Extension's Soil Management Series. Home gardeners can improve soil's water retention by adding compost to the garden.
