Had a rather bothersome business I had to deal with for a while but in the spare time my hands were in the ground. My grandfather was a farmer in Poland before he came here bringing all that old world knowledge to pass on.
His mantra was “You don’t have to farm your plants if you farm your soil first.” His was largely permaculture knowledge with techniques not knowing the ‘why’ it worked, only that it did for generations. I endeavored to learn as much as I could about the ‘why’ while employing those techniques.

Soil remediation is a fascinating subject.
