Livingsoil.se New page where I plan to share about soil, composting and plants. We and life on earth depend on healthy living soil, teeming with life. Linn Takeuchi, PhD

Learning about the soil food web has been an eye-opener in so many ways ❤️

Plant water, grow soil - regenerate! 🌱 This is a new page and I hope to connect with others interested in and passionate about growing and restoring soil health. I love plants, gardening and growing my own food. Spending time around plants, in nature and in the outdoors is a profoundly healing experience which has helped

me a lot. I also believe in the importance of nutrient dense food that has not been exposed to harmful and toxic chemicals. It is important for human health as well as our planets survival. I am a mother of three boys and have a background as a researcher in environmental and energy systems studies, have worked with a company selling vegan food and have experience as a writer for Supermiljöbloggen, an independent consultant for the Gold Standard and as a scuba diver instructor. After experiencing severe burnout I am exploring and pursuing a career change that will allow me to work with something I am passionate about, which will keep my curious mind engaged, while helping the planet and people and also having time to spend with my family. I am fluent in both English and Swedish but thought I'd write in mainly English since I would love to connect with people from around the world.

Experimenting growing Japanese painted fern, Athyrium japonicum, from spores and saw the first sporophytes (fronds) yesterday ❤️ They are tiny (1-2 mm) but doubled in size since yesterday. Looking forward to see how the colors will develop.

I'm currently taking a course in biologically complete aerobic composting with Dr Elaine's Soil Food Web School. It is intense but fun! It's my first compost and my recipe needs adjustment, but I have managed to build a pile with a bit of help and it did get HOT - it reached 77 °C/ 165 °F! Not ideal for promoting beneficial organisms, but practice makes perfect (I hope!).

There are various methods of composting and I hope to try out different methods to compare the end results, but for this course, I am doing thermophilic composting. That is a compost that gets hot. This is to kill w**d seeds and pathogens while promoting beneficial microorganisms. The idea is to learn to produce an end product that is teeming with beneficial bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes, which I will be checking for later.

Sharing portions of a video I made for the course in case you are interested in what it looks like when building a 50-bucket pile (1 bucket = 5 gallons or 19 liters) which adds up to 950 liters in 53s. Thinking about editing the material and explaining the process better, but thought it could be fun to share the video as is for the time being.

Short video of building a thermophilic (hot) compost.

Shinrin yoku, även känt som att skogsbada, gör underverk för både kropp och själ! Bidrar till att minska stress och öka välbefinnande ❤️ Även om det finns mycket "skog" i Sverige är endast 0,3% urskog, dvs. skog som aldrig har utsatts för mänsklig beröring som jordbruk och skogsbruk. Längtar till våren och doften av skog!
