@toxtethogrady I had to google ka’chava ☺️

These two soil samples were dug from two areas across the road from each other on the same farm

I've been bombarded with all kinds of ads for it, and all of them depict a brown liquid mud that has 85 ingredients that are beneficial to the body.

As for soil, there are attributes that favor tilled and untilled soils for different gardening applications. These days, the trendy plant shops are selling potting soil that's essentially loose amalgams of twigs, bark and other things and looks like the soil on the left. But the soil on the right is useful as long as it allows the roots of plants to grow.

And I hear there are great benefits to a soil made of used coffee grounds, which are dense...

@toxtethogrady the sample on the right supports roots, maintains microbes and holds water far better than the soil on the left.

Tillage can be used to add fertilizer, make planting quicker, etc, but over time, it degrades soil structure.

So I took the opposite lesson from your post? Guess I'll need to listen to the episode, huh? 😊

And it's back to the drawing board with the lawn... 🤣

EDIT - Not sure if I can get PBS in the UK, unfortunately.
