When thinking of unhealthy soil, the Dust Bowl of the 1930s comes to mind: depleted soil, dark clouds that swallowed small rural communities, red dust that filled the air and people’s lungs. All of this was the result of allowing the land to be over-tilled and abused, a result of our thinking that we knew better than nature. After the dust settled, we thought we had learned our lesson.
Our health is directly connected to the health of the soil. I’m not talking about a bag of dirt that you bring home from Tractor Supply, but the soil that grows your food—the soil that was once a flourishing ecosystem, full of micronutrients that supercharge your own microbiome.
