An Inside Look at Soil

The earth forms the outermost layer of our planet. On average, most soils are about 1 meter thick. But where did the soil come from? The soil becomes "dirty" through various processes. Weathering is the name of the process by which rock is decomposed into soil. There are physical, chemical and biological weathering processes in which rock forms soil. In physical weathering, rocks are broken down into increasingly fine particles due to physical properties such as water and freezing.

We need to take care of the soil. Like water, it is a special resource. If we pollute or lose it we can not buy or produce any more products. When wind or water removes it, the soil is lost (erosion). If you cover the soil with roads and buildings, you will not be able to use that soil. In some agriculture, you can make your soil unhealthy by removing excess nutrients or destroying the soil structure.

Farmers need to grow nutritious food from the community. However, farmers are always focusing on maintaining livelihood, selling their products, extracting yield from soil, regardless of soil health, and checking soil as a means of extracting livelihoods. In most cases, farmland is regarded as money and is not considered real wealth, which needs to be handed over from generation to generation. The more I think, the more clear it is. We experienced a difficult journey to grow the majority of the products we sell. I will say, "If you do not grow, you do not know." Many people do not know what it takes to grow, and whether to buy really healthy food from truly healthy soil. Because we are farmers, this is the difference by Fengshu Farm. Please visit our farm and find this healthy plant in our greenhouse. The reasons for our plant health are as follows

As a soil scientist, I am no exception. The fact that soil is a habitat that supports the growth of plants can not be denied, but that is a superficial view of what the soils are and how they work. If you look closely, you will find that earth is complex and subtle, and we are still far from understanding. The soil itself is their own ecosystem. The soil contains biodiversity ranging from microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, archaea) to medium-sized animals (Warburn animals, nematodes, aphids), large animals (rhizomes, yasuda, beetles). Soil is an infinite frontier of biological discovery
