Earth soil

Without soil where would an organic gardener be? Only in the soil do we have the opportunity to provide the full range of nutrients, organic matter, fungi, bacteria and micro-organisms that make healthy vegetables.

Articles in this topic relate to the physical composition of soil and to the indefinable quality of fertility.

Seed starting mix

“Soil-less” light-weight growing medium that excludes these:

  • Fertilizer which may cause burning or “???” stunting of seeds
  • Clay which can hold too much moisture
  • Organic elements, which can separate sees from the medium
  • Fungi or bacteria, which may kill or stunt seedling

Potting soil
