Twelve simple food-gardening practices

I have grown vegetables for many years and read many books on the subject, but until half a year ago I was not aware how central microbes are to growing vegetables and fruit that are nutrient-rich.  This blog post briefly discusses why soil microbes are important and then offers a range of simple things food-gardeners can do to improve the quality of the fruit and vegetables they grow.

And now improve your soil biology

Tasmanians Steve Solomon and Letetia Ware have a lot of expertise in soil biology and creating healthy soils. They have different approaches to it, but we can learn a lot from both. In this blog post I compare their approaches and come to the conclusion that they are really part of one and the same soil biology triangle.
