Today we look at building long term and regenrative soils using my three pronged approach of… Build Increase Hold ` To accomplish this we employ three super stars of soil health. Bioactive Compost – The Builder Cover Crops and Mulch – The Increaser Biochar – The Keeper ` While all three of these play a role in each area, they each are total rock stars of their niche.  By combining them and implementing them we can build soils that will grow more than you ever though you could and last longer then you ever believed possible. If you want the … Continue reading →

With these three simple to do but somewhat complex to understand tactics in your tool chest you can solve so many problems with both disease and pests and grow more then you ever thought you could.  These three tactics work together to form a natural and biological solution to common issues in the garden and on … Continue reading →

I know it seems crazy to even say the word fall right now, but now is the time to start planning for the fall and winter phase of your garden.  Keep in mind the fall equinox is Sept. 23rd this year.  That is only 33 days away and things do begin to really shift after the solstice.
