Checking in with the weather, in the middle of July. No matter where you grow your food, let the soil do the work to produce you wholesome food. Applications to the soil should only come when the soil is asking for it. Not the plant. Remember, the soil is the life of the plant, everything above the soil is just reproductive. Reproduction only happens when the soil is healthily and balance. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/natures-neighbor/support
