If we think of soil as the gut of the plant, we realize how important soil is for keeping plants growing healthfully.
Worms and other soil dwellers decompose everything so that plants can suck it right up. There is a perfect balance in good soil of fungus, bacteria, and other living organisms that make the soil more nourishing for the plant.
Even fungi can be an important food source, or nutrient provider for plants. For that reason, Essential Oils are a very good way to aid and promote balance that won’t deplete the soil as most commercial synthetic treatments would.
By incorporating in the soil we promote balance at the nutrition level. Oils don’t overcompensate, they are striving for balance.
Chemicals throw off ALL balance and can be very difficult (if not impossible in some situations) to fix.
QUESTION – WHAT CHEMICAL DO YOU USE IN THE GARDEN THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE?
