Hello 👋, if anyone has any issues with any plants or soil or anything just ask and we can work through it and find a solution..

I'm also down to take the time to help design a few gardens or orchards if anyone needs. I know how to produce fungal dominated soils and the proper ph for trees or veggies, and well draining sponge like soils. They can hold up to 10x it's weight in water and works effectively in dry or wet conditions. Companion planting keeping the soils always full of life producing food for the microbes maintaining fertility and producing soil. Reduces the needs for fertilizers and external inputs

If you have any questions or need any help feel free to msg me or post here, if you want to share pics of your garden you can too.

Just started some lettuce heads.

I will graze on them to thin them out. Minimizing disturbance.

The goal is to keep just enough disturbances that the sucession of nature stays within the growing window that you're trying to accomplish.. maintaining the microbiome that's beneficial for the crops you're trying to grow.

For example I wouldn't want high fungal ratios in my soil biome if I'm growing lettuces. I do want to have it for the diversity of life, but the bacterial ratio needs to be higher for a lettuce crop..
If you're growing trees they might greatly appreciate inoculations of the old growth forest, adding in hundreds of thousands of fungal species



Hope this helps some people.

Most of the water soluble nutrients and bio available nutrients are produced by the biology in the soils. The ones responsible for good soil health are bacteria, fungi, nematodes and protozoa... they need to be able to recycle nutrients that the plants give then to perform the only true sustainability known on the planet. Solar power wind power, not sustainable compared the plants and microbes, they feed eachother and produce more soils. In fact it's the only way to produce soil. You need biology to have soil. Otherwise it's just dirt; silt clay and sand.

About having the right conditions for them to live in, otherwise the bad microbes start to take over and that's when you're prone to disease and infertility.
