Living Soil: How to Create Regenerative Soil for a Healthy Organic Garden

Remember when fruits and vegetables were bursting with flavor? The demand on farmers to produce the fastest, highest-yielding crop comes with a price: it’s less nutritious and environmentally detrimental. Decades of using fertilizers and pesticides have stripped the soil of many microbes required to grow nutritious food, resulting in the decline of essential vitamins and minerals in our diet.

Using data from the US Department of Agriculture, Donald Davis from the University of Texas published a paper in The Journal of American College of Nutrition pointing to a significant decline in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and Vitamins B2 & C in 43 different fruits and vegetables.

Is there a way to grow healthier plants at home without artificial chemicals? Well, nature has been doing it for over 450 million years! It’s called soil. A healthy soil is a living ecosystem that provides all the nutrients for your garden to thrive. You can have an eco-friendly, sustainable way to produce your own nutritious food or just have thriving houseplants easily, without the conventional work of gardening.
