Regenerative Agriculture- the proof is in the dirt pudding
We got our first soil test report, below on the left, in 2019. It wasn’t good. At that point, we had Georgia red clay, and many soil amendments were needed. We began moving our chickens around our growing areas. They fertilize, dig up bugs, and generally regenerate the soil. In addition, after moving them, we added deep mulch around our perennials. This minimized irrigation needs, as well.
In 2023, we got our soil report back, and everything read in the “nutrients not needed” column. What does that mean? It means that our soil was full of fertility, not just the things measured, as increasing fertility via natural methods isn’t limited to only what’s in the bag of fertilizer.
