--Soil Fertility by Earthworms--
Hi Ya'll,
Since our Health and well-being may depend upon the Soil Life in our Garden and Farming Soils, maybe we should consider what Earthworms may add if we have them working for us?
It has been figured that with 8-10 earthworms per square foot per acre would produce 160,000# in 8 months per acre or 80 TONS per acre.
This is 5x richer in available Nitrogen.
This is 7x richer in available Phosphates.
This is 11x richer in avalable Potash.
Than the upper six inches of soil contains without the earthworms.
Plus we have all the Live Enzymes - microbes - and other Soil Life to go along with it !!!!
WE can Never afford to Buy this much as Commercial fertilizer !
Learn to Feed the Soil Life and they will feed the crops, which in turn may feed us !
If we learn to apply Green chop mulch to the soil, the Soil Life will change this mulch much Faster into food, than if one uses Dry Mulch !!!! Because the fresh Green Mulch has all the Nutrients & Enzymes to feed the Soil Life !!
Making Compost in a pile vs making it in the Soil is like the Difference between Nite and Day !!
When made in the field in the Soil, then the Whole Soil receives ALL the Benefits:
Better Areation !
Better Tilth !
Better Structure !!
Live and Living conditions thru-out the Soil structure vs Only in the Compost pile !
Our Health depends upon the Health of our Soils !
Cause and Effect !
Smile Tis your choice.
