Organic gardening and fostering soil life is like conducting an orchestra over an exaggerated period of time with an infinite amount of pieces working together that we are unaware of that somehow carry out our gestures as gardeners! Luckily, we have a lot of incredible researchers and educators in the field of permaculture pioneering the best combination of modern scientific understanding and trad
itional farming and gardening methods. It's beautiful that it's complex beyond human comprehension and that we haven't started to understand what's underneath our feet because nature is also comforting and accessible! When you encourage local ecology and soil biology (bacteria, fungi, and little critters like arthropods and worms), you are initiating a mighty alliance that is truly empowering you to grow food that you can't buy anywhere in a store! I believe in having that abundant food source for our bodies with live enzymes after a fresh picking at peak ripeness and the local resilience it brings with it. My wife is a plant based food coach and practicing naturopath so in our home real food is the centerpiece of our family lifestyle.
