Building Healthy Soil with No-Till Gardening

The Importance of Soil Health

Soil is the foundation of any thriving garden, and its health is crucial for the well-being of plants, microorganisms, and the environment. Healthy soil is teeming with life, from the tiniest microbe to the largest insect, and it plays a vital role in nutrient cycling, water filtration, and carbon sequestration.
