Understanding the Soil Layers of Earth – A Gardener’s Guide 🌱 Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving garden, and knowing what lies beneath the surface can make all the difference. This illustrated guide from Pixies Gardens breaks down the five major soil layers:

Organic Layer – Rich in decayed matter and nutrients

Topsoil – Where most plant roots grow

Subsoil – Dense with minerals

Parent Material – Broken rocks and minerals

Bedrock – Solid foundation of the Earth

This is a perfect educational tool for kids, home gardeners, or anyone interested in soil health and natural growth. The more you know about what’s under your feet, the better your plants will grow above it.
