The Living Soil: A Thriving Ecosystem

Once the seed has been planted, its fate becomes intertwined with the soil, a complex and dynamic living ecosystem teeming with microorganisms, minerals, and organic matter.

In this chapter, Jardine shares her insights into the principles of soil health, including the importance of organic matter, composting, and cover cropping.

In this chapter, Jardine explores the importance of sunlight for plant growth and development. She explains how different plants have adapted to varying light conditions and how to optimize sunlight exposure for maximum productivity in your garden.
