Soil health is the cornerstone of successful gardening and particularly growing your own food. This is something I am sure on, if below the surface is healthy then above the surface (what you grow) will be excellent.

I wasn't always aware of this and when I studied horticulture it wasn't something that was of high importance. But through observation initially I came to realise that it is the number 1 most important aspect of growing food successfully.

How do I grow my own food ? Well the answer to this question has many elements from sowing to planting, planning etc etc but soil health if got right will make everything else easier and more successful.

The good news for us home gardeners is that improving soil health is quiet easy and generally starts with the addition of organic matter which feeds the soil life. The soil food web is complex and many scientists dedicate their lives to understanding it but for us the addition of quality organic matter will lead us to healthy soil and abundant crops. Fact!

Keep an eye out over the coming weeks for my online Grow Your own food course in the coming weeks and of course soil health is mentioned quiet a bit.

You can also check out these two episodes which include soil health and the benefits of no dig gardening.
