 When building soil or feeding hungry plants, go heavy on nitrogen fixers.
+Nitrogin fixers come in all sizes from clover to shrubs, to trees such as black locust, alder, and acacia.
 Many **legumes**, **herbs** and not to forget **weeds!** improve the soil by adding suitable nitrogen via their roots, surrounding plants then can absorb these nutrients (nitrogen).

+Most of these plants are considered as weeds; and they make their living ass pioneer species: tough sundependent, fatgrowing and short lived.These early colonists invade bare or depleted soils. where one of there rolls is to accumulate nutrients in their roots and leaves. Each fall these plants die and rot, pumping a fat load of minerals into the soil. The enriched earth is then ready  for the next successionary phase of less emphemerial, more fastidious plants such as perennial herbs, shrubs and trees.

 ====== Roots ======
 The roots of trees and shrubs can go deep in the underground and even throught the underlying stoneground to get from there minerals and to suck water, and to make this available for themselves and their neighbours who don’t have these long roots.

+when soil is compacted or clayey, plants are excellent tools to restore tilth and fluffiness.
+Species with deep, soil busting taproots are perfelt for the job. These include:
+  ***Daikon**
+  ***Chirory**
+  ***Comfrey**
+  ***Artichoke**

+Others don’t have a single taproot but instead thrust a massive, fibrous rootsystem deep into the erath to accomplish the same soil loosening:
+  ***Mustard**
+  ***Rapeseed**
+  ***Alfafa** - Luzerne - Medicago (also a good nitrogen fixer)
+You can use these plants either of two strategies; sow them into afuture orchard or garden to work a year of two before the final planting or intercrop them among beds or under trees to continually break up the soil.
