It’s been a wet day so we didn’t end up going to the allotment in the end, a wash out, but I have instead learnt about how important worms and other bacteria are as vital organic compost for ensuring that the soil, and plants are nutrient rich. It is these bacteria that enable the plants to grow, by helping to breakdown the matter in soil for the plant to use, this then becomes nutrient rich soil supplying them with the rich nutrients which help them to become strong pest resistant plants.
So now it makes lots of sense that if the chemical pesticides are killing everything off, how on earth can the microbes and organisms survive? The onslaught of chemical farming is stopping our plants ultimately from growing into mineral rich food for ourselves, as they are weak, and have to have pesticides to stop predators from eating them. If the organisms are no longer in the soil to break down the matter, and on top of that, the fertiliser is now a chemical one which isn’t anywhere near as usable to the plant, and for us in the long run to use. Then does it surprise anyone that the soil and the plants each year become more and more dependant on chemicals to try and replace what they are losing. When the answer for me is easy, feed the soil properly with proper compost, and fertiliser and stop using chemicals which are killing off the very things that we need to be healthy.
Each day, even with the bad weather I know I am doing the best for my body, it keeps me healthy in so many ways.
