Properly made, aerobic compost provides the missing organisms that plants
need in order to: 1.  cycle nutrients from not-plant available into
plant-available forms, 2. retain nutrients in the soil, 3. hold soil
particles in place to prevent erosion (sorry, roots can't do this all by
themselves), 4. compete with, consume and inhibit disease and pest
organisms from attacking roots and foliage, 5. decompose toxic compounds in
soil; sequester heavy metals, 6.  produce organic matter which when
correctly processed by soil life builds soil organic matter, builds soil
structure (alleviates compaction), retains water and allows roots to grow
as deep as they can.

Plus a few more things that are corollaries of these benefits.
