Jealousy intesifies...
Have you done anything special to amend your soil?
No dig for the last few years, and applied some high-quality compost last year. I think the good biology in the compost is building up the soil food web in the soil.
No dig is the way. 🤙🏻
Awesome. I applied compost my first and maybe second year, since then its been mulch and chickens rotating victory garden style.
Last year I seeded with daikon and let it rot.
Still no roots like that yet though.
That one may have been a bit of an outlier but I've been seeing 12-16" before hitting 150 psi when testing with the soil penetrometer in that bed.
Penetrometer? I dont even know what that is!
You doin' dat science!
