Did you know that finding fungi in your garden is a sign of soil health? I get a message at least once a month asking what to do about mushrooms growing in the garden. Fungi interact with soil particles, roots, and rocks forming a filamentous body that promotes foraging for soil nutrients. These networks release enzymes into the soil and break down complex molecules that the filaments then reabsorb. Fungi act like natural recycling bins, reabsorbing and redistributing soil nutrients back to plant roots. So finding mushrooms in your garden is a sure sign that you’re on the right track. Mushrooms are harmless to growing plants and can in fact improve the quality of your soil. ・・・ #growninhaiti #fungi #mushroom #hyphae #mycelium #recyclers #decomposers #natural #soil #healthysoil #biodiversity #balance #foodforest #agroforestry #regenerativefoodsystem https://www.instagram.com/p/CRGvlSdFtoA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Healthy soils produce healthy crops that in turn nourish people and animals. It acts as a filter for underground water and filters out pollutants. And interestingly, healthy soil consists of about 25% air! How else would those little worms breath! Worms are critical, enriching topsoil by feeding on organic material in the soil and converting it into nutrients for plants. Soil is at the bottom of the food chain, yet it is the cornerstone of life on earth.

Our soil is so very important to us and all living things!! #repost #reposting #Repost @fulllotusfarm (@get_repost) ・・・ How to enhance the soil food web - an intricate nutrient cycling system created by nature 🕸 Planting kale in the hoop house recently, we saw lots of worms under the ground cover. We are transitioning this area to straw mulch, which will further benefit the soil. Worms are a necessary part of a healthy soil food web along with fungi, bacteria, nematodes, arthropods, and protozoa. • There is a complete natural cycle of life happening in the soil, and to enhance it you must not disturb it. By doing this you can increase your plants health naturally by working with the environment. The number one way to start encouraging a healthy soil food web is to not till, because tilling breaks up the delicate balance of relationships in your soil. • You can enhance your soil by using compost and vermicompost to inoculate and increase the amount of worms and microbes. You can also use organic mulch (straw, leaves, wood chips, plant matter), fish emulsion, compost tea, kelp, and other microbe friendly foods. • This is a pretty deep and intricate topic, but once you get the basics down it's pretty straightforward. It starts with understanding that your soil is alive, and by tilling it you are basically destroying the life within it. And that can take time to rebuild. • Hopefully this strikes your curiosity and you will research the benefits of permaculture no-till methods. We will have on farm educational workshops all season long to help unfold some of the intricacies of these concepts. On Saturday March 24th we will have a free vermicomposting workshop from 12-1pm, explaining how to setup your own worm bin, so you can recycle your food scraps and make nutrient rich compost at home. We hope to see you there! 🕸✨ #soilfoodweb #worm #vermicompost #compost #mulch #nutrients #permaculture #notill #farm #garden #technique #healthysoil #microbes #fungi #livingsoil #science #nature #ecosystem #balance

A quick peep into our vermicompost bin. Most people do this for their garden but as my soil is already at a healthy stage, my purpose for it is actually to amend the humanure pile. All these hungry critters will make quick work of the of what we have accumulated. Chopped up some fresh greens to add on top of the pile so that our friend don’t dry out in the sun as well as to keep them fed while they work their way down. It’s kind of funny when you think about it. Using worm poop for break down human poop, to feed trees that in turn make food for more poop. The cycle of poop. If it wasn’t for human, animal, insect, or even plant waste... we wouldn’t have food. ・・・ #growninhaiti #vermicompost #poopcycle #recycle #haiti #ayiti #organic #humanure #feedthesoil #reforestation #nogmos #nochemicals #healthysoil #foodforest #agroforestry #critters #worms #compost #composters https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ktxIDFYm_/?igshid=13dem6ds7w6lq
