Practicing organic gardening will make a significant difference in the health of your soil! According to research at Colorado State University, one teaspoon of compost-rich organic soil can host up to 1 billion helpful bacteria. A teaspoon of chemically treated soil hosts as few as 100. Now that’s a great incentive to get that compost and mulch laid down, isn’t it?
Being an avid gardener, born and raised in Indiana, I feel incredible blessed to live in sunny California & be able to grow my own food all year-round! I write a monthly garden column for the San Jose Mercury News & am constantly striving for tips & ideas on how to live a little more gently in regards to ourselves, our planet & each other – basically sustainability we can live with! As a fulltime realtor here in the Bay Area, I help my clients “Go Green” in & around their homes & communities.
