Prosperity, Pemeability, Retention Oh yes! (:

Ugh i am so mad >:( I just wrote the longest blog ever and then I pressed back :(.  Well here we go again. 

Prosperity is the volume of water that fits between the soil particles.  Permeability is the rate of the flow of water that goes through the soil.  Retention is how much water is trapped by soil.  Porosity and permeability are directly related, when one is high then the other is high as well.  The water retention is inversely related to both, that mean its the opposite of whatever the porosity and permeability so if there high then the retention is low.  I think that someone should care about these property's of soil because we need to know about the soils to know where to plant our crops and if we don't know about them then we wouldn't plant crops right and we would be hungry.
