Garden Soil & Minerals 101 || Black Gumbo

In this video we will discuss soil health and how to have exceptionally good gardening soil through mineralization. This kind of topic is sure to step on some toes of those who believe that feet upon feet worth of compost is the best way to garden organically. This might also be contrary to what you have heard about organic gardening if you have read anything in the Rodale tradition or the Back to Eden method tradition. All legit methods for sure, but lack one essential element. Give it some thought, learn about actual soil, and learn the benefits of mineralizing your soil. ___ Black Gumbo shares our suburban, backyard, sustainable gardening efforts.
