To get it to grow anything, I tilled up about 4-5", mixed in various sources of compost, biochar, and mycorrhizal fungi, and then topped it off with a few bags of high quality soil mix.

This is one of the easier ways to get a garden started if you have the space for it, as you're using your

Banana plants are basically the drama queens of the garden world. Those massive leaves and crazy growth spurts mean they're constantly chugging water and nutrients like they're training for a marathon. When they can't keep up, those gorgeous leaves turn crispy brown faster than you can say "banana split." Mulch is your secret weapon against banana plant meltdowns. Throw some organic mulch around the base and you're solving two problems at once. It keeps soil from drying out and feeds your plant

Tomato planting tip: Don’t mess up your timing 🍅 Most gardeners do the first part right - starting 6-8 weeks before the last frost where they live. But they miss the second step… The secret is waiting until soil temps hit around 60°F or higher consistently. 65°F is even better!

Today we're kicking off the first part of a two-part growing experiment about soil and microbial inoculants. We're using a product called Soil Activator from Earth Alive, who were kind enough to send me out some packets to run this test.
