Welcome to the home of the soil chef!
Thank you for visiting our site.
Most of us take the soil that we are standing on as a given - it's just there - some call it subvisible...
Taking our soils for granted is a great mistake on our part! It took nature thousands of years to develop these complex living systems. Even if we can't easily see them!
Take a moment, close your eyes, and visualize what the land you are standing upon was like a hundred years ago, ...500 years ago, ...thousands of years ago... Imagine the succession of plants and animals that lived and died here... Now consider the impact of man...
Over short periods of time, our civilizations and agricultural practices have greatly modified these natural ecological systems.
Wherever you live, your soil has a history...
The objective of this site is to provide useful resources for developing a better understanding of our soils and their biology.
We'll work like chefs and incorporate knowledge from many different disciplines...with the objective of leaving our soils better than we found them!
