Isopods, aka roly-polies or pill bugs, - tiny crustaceans with BIG impacts

They’re detritivores, meaning they feast on dead and decaying organic matter—like fallen leaves, wood, and even fungi. 🍂🥀🪵

Here’s why they’re vital for our soil:

🌱 Nutrient Recycling: As they munch through plant material, they break it down into smaller particles, speeding up the decomposition process. This enriches the soil with vital nutrients that plants need to thrive.

🔄 Carbon Cycling: By decomposing organic material, isopods play a key role in the carbon cycle, helping store carbon in the soil and reducing carbon loss to the atmosphere.

🌍 Soil Aeration: While burrowing and feeding, isopods loosen compacted soil, improving oxygen flow and creating a healthier environment for plant roots and microorganisms.

Found on every continent except Antarctica, isopods thrive in forests, gardens, and even urban environments. 🌟 Wherever there’s organic matter to break down, these hardworking decomposers are on the job!

Topsoil is the foundation of healthy farming and food production, but it’s being lost at alarming rates❗️

Adding compost to the surface of our soils is one way we can increase organic matter (OM) and help rebuild this precious layer. ✨️

But let’s be real: rebuilding topsoil takes time and consistent care. It’s not a quick fix.

Compost enriches the soil, feeds microbes, and improves water retention—laying the groundwork for healthier, more productive land over the long term. 🌳🌻

Every bit of compost we add is a step toward healthier soils and more resilient farms. 🌍

Did you know that pesticides don’t just target harmful insects? 💀

They also:

-Disrupt soil microbes, reducing the soil’s ability to cycle nutrients and store carbon. 🦠

-Harm pollinators like bees and butterflies, which are responsible for pollinating 75% of our crops. 🐝🦋

-Impact birds and beneficial insects that naturally keep pests in check. 🐦🐜

Healthy ecosystems depend on balance.

🌍 Soil: The Planet’s Biggest Carbon Sink 🌍

Did you know soil holds more carbon than the atmosphere and all plant life combined?

That’s over 2,300 billion tons quietly stored beneath our feet!

By keeping soils healthy through practices like cover cropping and no-till farming, we can preserve this natural carbon sink and support a more sustainable future.

Anthurium (Laceleaf) Plants 🪴

She used to spend hours pulling weeds to care for these flowers—soil that was compacted, dry, and eroding made it a constant struggle❗️

We decided to try something different: cardboard and grass clippings 📦🌿 It keeps the weeds down, holds in moisture, and improves the soil as it breaks down ♻️

✔️ No more disturbing the topsoil when weeding.

✔️ Less watering, thanks to better moisture retention.

✔️ Softer, healthier soil that’s slowly rebuilding itself.

Before laying the cardboard, we made sure to weed around the plants, setting them up for success 🌞 While this process will need to be repeated as it breaks down, it’s a simple, stress-free solution—and now she doesn’t have to worry about weeds taking over the garden anymore 🥳✨️

When she asked, “What’s going to happen to the cardboard?” and I explained it would break down and turn to soil, she was blown away 🎉
