 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.  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**  
 +  ***Dandelion**  
 + 
 +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.
