Soil vs Dirt
Most gardeners know the difference between soil and dirt. To refresh, DIRT has very few organic materials for plant growth to thrive.
Soil contains organic matter. It is a living environment containing microorganisms, decaying organic matter, fungal hyphae (thread-like growths, roots, earthworms, and insects. All items create a cycle of life and a soil food web.
Although organic matter in soil makes up a relatively small amount of soil by weight (1-5%) an enormous population of microbes and soil animals convert all organic matter to the nutrients vital for plant growth and our existence. Thus, the organic matter we till, spread, shovel, move into our earth and gardens are transformed into inorganic forms (nutrients, potassium, nitrogen) utilized by microbes and plants.

More than a low drainage trough.

Steep garden beds formed over a mound of rotting logs prevent soil compaction, hold onto water like a sponge, provide nutrients for decades, create more surface area for crops and an easier height for harvesting. If you’re looking for the most efficient raised garden bed design ever, look no furth...

I has a laxative effect on me so I can’t have it in my foods or beverages.
And you?

A new study has found that a zero-calorie sweetener, erythritol, that is popular in ketogenic diets has been linked to strokes, heart attacks, blood clots and death.
