Dear student,     
Please find below the solution to the asked query                                                             

Gardeners gently dig up the soil around the roots of garden herbs (plants) frequently because:

• It helps the plant roots to penetrate deep into the soil.
• It improves soil aeration and reduces soil compaction.
• It makes available more oxygen to the soil.
• It improves water drainage in the soil.
