I'm bored so here's some comparison photos for how the frequent fronters of our system style ourselves

And while there's some others who occasionally front it's been infrequent enough that we don't seem to have any pictures of them, but hopefully I can add to this if that changes.

Beneath your feet lies a hidden world of mycorrhizal fungi, which form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots 🪴 ♻️

These fungi:

Extend root systems, increasing access to nutrients and water 💧

Increase carbon storage in the soil 💨

Protect plants from diseases and stress 🌞

But here’s the problem❗️Practices like tilling and chemical fertilizers disrupt these fungal networks, weakening the soil ecosystem.

By adopting regenerative practices like no-till farming and reducing chemical inputs, we can protect these vital fungi and support healthier, more resilient soils 💪

Soil isn’t just dirt—it’s a living, interconnected system. Let’s keep it thriving! 🌱🤍
