What to add to the soil is a big question but it's also perhaps the wrong question. In today's video I attempt to simplify the idea of soil amending and give some important context to it that may demonstrate that you don't need to add much of anything.
Addressed in this video: Adding nitrogen to the garden, Korean Natural Farming and JADAM, How to add soil amendments, how to address compaction, what makes living soil, how soil works, and more.
