Transforming a conventional garden bed into a regenerative system is a hands-on way to restore soil, increase biodiversity, and grow healthier plants. Conventional beds often rely on synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and heavy tillage, which can degrade soil structure and reduce microbial life. By shifting to regenerative practices, gardeners can rebuild soil fertility, conserve water, and…
Worms and bees are two of the most powerful allies in regenerative gardening. While worms build soil structure, fertility, and water retention, bees ensure pollination and biodiversity, creating a productive and resilient garden ecosystem. Over years of gardening experience, I’ve seen how supporting these natural helpers enhances both soil health and plant yields. Integrating worms…
Agroforestry and food forests are regenerative gardening approaches that combine trees, shrubs, perennial vegetables, and annual crops in layered systems. Unlike traditional monoculture gardens, these systems mimic natural ecosystems, building soil health, conserving water, and providing diverse yields. Over years of experience, I’ve found that designing gardens this way creates resilient, low-maintenance, and highly productive…
Soil carbon is the foundation of a thriving regenerative garden. Higher carbon levels improve fertility, water retention, and microbial activity, while also helping fight climate change. By using compost, applying mulch, and planting deep-rooted crops, gardeners can naturally build soil carbon over time. Soil carbon is the carbon stored in the soil as organic matter—things…
