Charles talks about:

✅ How to find more health and energy in our lives? One of the answers is right under our feet, in the thriving ecosystem of soil we look after nicely.

✅ Create healthy soil through minimal disturbance and surface mulching.

✅ Once your soil is healthy, many of the supposed rules of vegetable gardening can be safely ignored and you find more joy in the process.

✅ For each vegetable, you want to grow, learn the best dates for sowing, how to protect from pests and any other particular care needed.

✅ Eating the harvests with their invisible soil biome, maintains our gut biome in the healthiest possible state.
