Leaching



Leaching, when the a plant's nutrients wash away, is a very bad condition, especially for farmers. Leaching is usually caused by heavy rains which pound on the leaves of a plant, therefore making it loose its nutrients or its leaves. As a result, there may not be any plants in a specific rainy area. Leaching can happen because of salt, which affects the water in the plant. Some ways to avoid this problem is recycling more so other plants that absorb water from land fills do not start loosing their nutrients.
