This subject has become our passion.  We have always believed in "Earthing" but learning about the life in the soil has made a tremendous impact on both of us.


But know that if the nutrients and minerals are missing in your soil, they are missing also in the plants that grow in your soil which means they are missing in the food you are eating and growing.  The question is ..... What has been depleting these nutrients and minerals from the soil?

Our soil's health is more than just the NPK thing.


Soil Testing - we use Midwest Bio Systems for our Compost Material testing and Kinsey Ag Service for our soil tests.
There are 5 basic components of soil. 
    1. Minerals - largest component with primary minerals and secondary minerals - "Charges" around soil minerals influence the soil's ability  to retain the necessary nutrients
    2. Gases -
    3. Water - 2nd basic component - important in transporting nutrients to the growing plant and the soil microorganisms - also  aids in the biological and chemical decomposition in the soil
    4. Organic Matter - A necessary component of
    5. Microorganisms - Please stop killing them with your chemicals.
