Seeds and Soil Farm is focused on regenerative agriculture, ecological gardening and bio intensive farming practices. Building healthy soil, creating nutritious local food and saving viable seed is where we place our energy.

Only a minority of bacteria grow after wetting in both natural and post-mining biocrusts in a hyperarid phosphate mine

Abstract. Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are key contributors to desert ecosystem functions, therefore, biocrust restoration following mechanical disturbances is imperative.

Hi Mastodon #garden lovers or #soil knowers or #fungus experts, I have no idea what I've come home to in part of my newly planted garden, #help? looks like some sort of #seed? I recently added a heavy dose of #compost to this garden and planted lupin seeds underneath this particular area, but this looks odd!

This week, 24 new Winogradsky columns came into being, with help from the KS2 classes at my local school 🦠💚

As they all needed egg yolks, back at home I'm now making meringues! Lots and lots of meringues!!!

I have no idea how the students mud jars will end up, but here's a pic of one of my winter experiments a couple of years ago with soil/water from the same river...

In the background, the #beach opposite #stornoway #harbour where we deployed our new equipment to capture #rope and #net mending #cuttings (#ELFG). The situation is pretty bad with #soil mostly composed of
#plastic fibre once the #seaweed has decomposed. Hopefully we will stop this from occurring in our #environment.

The tideline on the beach is dominated by floatsam deposit which is seaweed and net and rope mending off cuts. About 10% of the picture is plastic fibre here
