you obviously haven't been around here long man...In soils deficient of life that are "charged" you need aeration though with life and no phosphorus or other ppms that kill life, like salt on a slug it is not needed. My soils like it wet at all times which is completely different then growing with fertilizers where the inside needs to dry due to the limited diversity and health of the soil where in fact anaerobic bacteria can build up which is why it needs to dry between watering. Most microbial grows are called that for show though with charging the soil its so vastly limited and in these case you need aeration. The oxygen saturation of water is 10 percent in soils under far conditions and as long as people are not feeding them sugars the bacteria does not double in mass every 20 minutes sufficating out the soil food web making it ineffective. These folks need added ions and aeration though there is another level. A level nature is well familiar with.
I grow 100% naturally, I make my own leaf mold, compost and fresh castings.
Buying Alaskan humus is superfluous in that sort of growing.
My compost feeds my plants, and I add nothing except water.
but you NEED aeration..
