When we talk about the soil, we are talking about the living skin of our planet. Soil is the basis of life for everything.

The health of my garden depends on the health of this ecosystem, and because I eat what comes from the garden, it is becoming clearer to me, that the level of my well being is equal to the well being of the soil. I am connected to it in this way.

It is made of life, by life for life. It´s that story of composition and decomposition. The microscopic organisms I´m feeding will decompose all this organic matter, so that the plant can reuse these eliments it needs to re compose …to grow.

It is an intricate and important ecosystem that is just under my feet and surounds the roots in my vegetable garden and food forest, and I would prefer not to disturb it.

NO DIG. If I were to dig my garden bed and turn the soil every time I planted, I it would disturb the whole ecosystem that I have been nurturing to become established. The worm holes that help the soil breath, the mycelium network that connects everything underground. No. Turning the soil is just going to disrupt everything. More likely set it back.

Instead, I just feed it from the top, and let the animals find it…kinda like you would feed fish in a fish tank. Then nature takes over, pulling or washing those nutrients down as they are decomposing back into the soil.

When I feed my garden, it´s not the plants I´m feeding, it´s the ecosystem of microorganisms underneath them I am feeding.
