The Healthy Soil Cycle Plan

We learned about using the worm farm to start creating healthy soil, now let's take a look at the cycle.
It's much like building anything in that we have to start with a plan design, build it and maintain it.
 
Step One: What is your goal in how much food you realistically can produce. Start with something you know you can maintain in the future or what is the point.
 
Step Two: Don't procrastinate but buy that worm farm today, get a garden cart or a small area of the lawn ready and make sure you have a realistic way to water it.
 
Step Three: Write out a maintenance plan for the entire year and put it on the refrigerator.
 
An example would be to write in your yearly plan what harvest (carrots, beats, spinach) you want and read when those plants should mature. Then set apart 10 minutes every day to water and weed. This 10 minutes becomes as important for your mental health as for your physical health. People who garden are proven to be more at peace believe it or not.
 
So - stop and write down your plan right now and let's get started.
