As hard as we try to avoid it, modern industrial thinking can easily creep into our homesteads. Take soil health for example. Have you ever walked through the garden store and wondered which of the isolated "ingredients" you should add to your garden to "fix it?" I have! But there's a better way.  I'm joined by Aaron Elison of Redmond Agriculture in this episode. He helps us dismantle this reductionist mindset so we can take a "whole food" approach to caring for your garden. From Nature's Intelligence to a surprising way to remove toxins from your soil, this episode is full of nuggets!
