Our soil is so very important to us and all living things!! #repost #reposting #Repost @fulllotusfarm (@get_repost) ・・・ How to enhance the soil food web - an intricate nutrient cycling system created by nature 🕸 Planting kale in the hoop house recently, we saw lots of worms under the ground cover. We are transitioning this area to straw mulch, which will further benefit the soil. Worms are a necessary part of a healthy soil food web along with fungi, bacteria, nematodes, arthropods, and protozoa. • There is a complete natural cycle of life happening in the soil, and to enhance it you must not disturb it. By doing this you can increase your plants health naturally by working with the environment. The number one way to start encouraging a healthy soil food web is to not till, because tilling breaks up the delicate balance of relationships in your soil. • You can enhance your soil by using compost and vermicompost to inoculate and increase the amount of worms and microbes. You can also use organic mulch (straw, leaves, wood chips, plant matter), fish emulsion, compost tea, kelp, and other microbe friendly foods. • This is a pretty deep and intricate topic, but once you get the basics down it's pretty straightforward. It starts with understanding that your soil is alive, and by tilling it you are basically destroying the life within it. And that can take time to rebuild. • Hopefully this strikes your curiosity and you will research the benefits of permaculture no-till methods. We will have on farm educational workshops all season long to help unfold some of the intricacies of these concepts. On Saturday March 24th we will have a free vermicomposting workshop from 12-1pm, explaining how to setup your own worm bin, so you can recycle your food scraps and make nutrient rich compost at home. We hope to see you there! 🕸✨ #soilfoodweb #worm #vermicompost #compost #mulch #nutrients #permaculture #notill #farm #garden #technique #healthysoil #microbes #fungi #livingsoil #science #nature #ecosystem #balance

The beds have been put to sleep. Carbon rich leaf mold will break down over winter along with rice hulls and compost. Worms and other soil life will help the beds become eager for cover crops in the spring and ready to nurish next seasons girls. Organic gardening is easy if you care enough to plan ahead.

A garden can be a source of healing energies that helps you face each day with hope and joy.

Inspired by Bryan O'Hara’s talk last night at PHS City Harvest annual meeting about No Till Farming Methods, I’ve recommitted to not just leaving the soil in tact, but also feeding it like a living and hungry being. I was taught to keep wood chips and unfinished compost off the annual fields, but I threw that out the window after talking to him. The mycelium growth and worms in the chips and compost were beautiful! So glad to bring them to my plantitas. #notill #livingsoil #wintercrops #pennsylvaniahorticulturalsociety #cityharvest (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

The most underrated thing in organic growing is what you can't see.

the fungal threads running between root zones. the bacteria breaking down last season's residue into something next season's crop can actually use. the subtle architecture of a soil that holds moisture without choking roots.

we talk a lot about what we're growing. we don't talk enough about what we're growing in.

organic matter is the foundation. not the fertilizer, not the variety, not the irrigation system. the soil biology is the whole thing.

eco granules changed the way i think about inputs. it's not just nutrients in a package — it's organic matter being returned to a system that's been quietly asking for it.

growing things is mostly just learning to trust what you can't see.
