Soil Is Sexy with Andie Marsh
The Soil Sisters welcome Andie Marsh, a soil health practitioner and founder of Rhizos, LLC. Andie shares her approach to improving soil health - from backyard gardens to farmland - using a microscope to assess soil microbiomes and methods for addressing soil issues. The conversation covers the impact of biological restoration, delving into Johnson Su bioreactors and other composting techniques, the role of fungi in soil health, and the importance of maintaining predator-prey balance in soil ecosystems. The episode also explores practical tools for gardeners and the impact of regenerative agriculture on climate change. The gals discuss an innovative on-farm trial proposal using industrial hemp and regenerative conservation practices to enhance soil health. This chat underscores the collaboration required for sustainable land stewardship and the critical role of soil biology.
