Well, depending where you live, our home soils are filled with all sorts of chemicals. Where I live, the community has dozens of different poison "Pest Control" companies that spray everyone's lawn with poison to "stop pests" and put herbicides in the grass. We also live on a golf course, so there are tons of poisons sprayed on that. Let alone all the weed killers with glyphosate in it. Even though we don't spray on our land, I do not trust my soil because my neighbors do spray, and I don't know how long the sprays last in the soil, since we aren't the original owners of this home(and my parents used to use one of those companies until they finally stopped after listening to me that they don't do anything to the yards and it just costs money). That being said, I plan on making my own soil, but it's a bit difficult, costly, and it can be annoying, especially when I have tons of compost and goodies outside, but I do not trust it.

Being from west central Illinois and having grown in central and South Florida and now growing in North central Arkansas, I can agree on first two states. Arkansas though, I have an issue with the incline on my backyard. All my soil wound was away during heavy rains. With that said, my only option at this time is raised beds. Raised beds with a clay soil will not work with the knowledge I have at this time. With that said, I have to create the soil in my raised beds. I will say this though. I have put some clay soil in the bottom of totes to shorten the depth of the totes a bit and drain holes above the clay line and had good results on my tomatoes and peppers.

I love nature, and I ALWAYS questioned the difficulty of gardening because,........I have always SAID....."Why is gardening so HARD? Why do we need to do all of this stuff to our plants in our gardens when things just thrive in nature without us doing a damn thing to them?" Why do we need to apply this fertilizer at this time, and then this fertilizer at that time, and then we need to spray stuff on them to keep bugs and stuff away etc, etc.....WHY? NONE of that happens in Nature! Thanks to you, it's all becoming VERY clear. And even.....DUH.......lol Thanks

I started looking into this world because of chilli peppers. I started growing them when I was at home due to heart problems at the age of 24 when I was also left home from work because of it. God used that period to draw me closer to Himself and put "gardening" into my heart. I love how you admire and endorse the beauty and perfection of nature because you're giving glory to the One who made all things. Thank you kindly for the knowledge you shared with me and for your care toward the planet we live on. May God bless you and your family greatly. Love from Switzerland❤

Newby gardener here. Excellent post, you fully explained 3 important questions in two posts. Potash making and use, and microbial health with the use of the forrest tea. The 3rd is more an observation, it seems garden supply companies are selling the various elements in a separated form, then we try to put them all together. Nature has already done so and probably far more efficiently than the scientists, who have probably missed something. Thanks, my garden and I are wiser for your knowledge Subscribed :)

I am thinking I should add a thin layer of compost under the leaves to get er goin, but its just because the ground was hard soil where i put it. I never thought of scoring the surface or anything, I just had a top half of a broken plastic composter that i used, and a lid that works perfectly. I added leaves watered it and sprayed it with molasses water. I have some warm days right now in Canada and am adding leaves i had saved from last year to make it better and create more. Heres hoping it works. I know not to flip it very often if at all, to keepbit from heating up.
