Good soil has 50% organic and inorganic salts and other 50% of pores, air and water.Soil consists of these major components of inorganic mineral matter, about 40 to 45 percent of the soil volume. organic matter, about 5 percent of the soil volume, water and air, about 50 percent of the soil volume.
