4. Make the soil microbes like that in leaf moldSummary of Youngsang Cho's workshop on Dec 15, 2016 in Daejeon

"What is visible represents what is invisible." This means that the state of roots is what determines the health of the plant. Large and vigorous roots are key to good growth and high quality fruits.

However, the use of heavy machineries (tractors), coupled with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and antibiotics are destroying the soil. They create "compacted soil layer" beneath the soil. Salt accumulates in the surface soil because water does not penetrate the layer easily.

How can we remove the compacted layer? Only microbes can do the job. Bring in microbes from local area. Make the population and diversity of microbes in your field same as that of the leaf mold in the mountains.

    I am new to Jadam. I live in New Boston, Texas. I am a plumber by trade but I love gardening. I really appreciated this presentation. Now I need to learn the aspects of the principles laid out, taking care of soul temperature and cultivating soil microbes.
