Restore Healthy Soils
Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving landscape. Our organic practices focus on building nutrient-rich, resilient soil that supports biodiversity while minimizing synthetic inputs.
Organic Solutions: Compost, cover crops, and natural soil amendments enriched with microbes improve soil health, fostering a thriving ecosystem without synthetic fertilizers.
Mulching for Soil Health: We enhance soil food webs by mulching with leaves and plant debris, creating habitats that support pollinators, birds, and wildlife in sync with migration patterns and local ecosystems.
Diverse Cover Crops: Using over eight species of cover crops, we create vegetable beds that blend perennials and edibles to support soil microbes year-round.
Vegetable & Perennial Pairing: By pairing vegetables with perennial flowers, we nourish soil microbes after annual crops are finished.
Capturing Nitrogen: Plants like Bitterbrush harbor beneficial bacteria in root nodules that naturally fix nitrogen in the soil.
Decomposition: Nature’s Cycle for Healthier Soil
Natural decomposition enriches soil, supports wildlife, and improves water retention by breaking down organic matter and enhancing microbial activity.
Moving Leaves: Moving leaves into lawns promotes microbial activity that feeds insects, creating a structure similar to a basement with rooms serving different functions.
Natural Decomposition: Encouraging natural decomposition allows leaves and organic matter to break down, enriching soil, supporting wildlife, and improving water retention for a healthier ecosystem.
Stable Organic Matter: Stable organic matter in soils retains water, sequesters carbon, and nourishes the above-ground ecosystem.
Woody Mulch Integration: We integrate woody mulch, branches, and logs into the landscape to mimic the natural succession of microbe populations in the soil.
