the various components varies greatly depending upon the
nature of the soil, its depth and the state of its
irrigation. As average garden soil has the following
composition-(In this living organisms are not taken into
account)-
Mineral matter = 40% by volume
Water = 25% by
volume
Air =25%
by volume
Organic matter = 10% by volume
