southern MN | I don’t have a ripper, but here deeper tillage like that, at least chisel plowing, opens up compacted soggy wet clay soils allowing air to mix in, and nutrients from below to become more available.
So yes here in my conditions of wet cold clay soils such an activity done at the right time (A dry fall is perfect...) to open and air out and dry out a soil will release a lot of needed nutrients and get soil biology working. Most certainly.
This is perhaps why I don’t understand carbon credits stuff. I want my soil nutrients available for my crops, not locked away uses less in the soil. It seems silly to have carbon in the soil and not use it, but add even more fertilizer to the soil/ crop. I’d rather use what I have already.
I suspect carbon credits stuff is a deeper topic then I understand (did you get my pun?) but I haven’t gotten it worked out in my head yet.
