ESA to feature wide range of UW-Madison presentations
Date:8/4/2008

As a first foray into this issue, soil scientists Nick Balster and Marie Johnston examined the soils beneath a dozen prairie gardens ranging from one to 15 years-old at private homes in Madison, Wisconsin, and compared them with those in adjacent stretches of manicured lawn. Soil parameters, such as density and compaction, differed little between the prairie garden and turfgrass plots, the pair found. Instead, the age of the residence was the biggest factor, with soils at homes built before the 1970s showing less compaction than those at younger sites.

Prairie garden soils did, however, have higher levels of organic matter and soil aggregation changes that, over time, may lead to less dense soil and higher infiltration rates, says Balster.
