I think we often call it gut feeling, or subconscious, but it's really experience. Years of seeing variations on a baseline. I can't do it in the garden, yet, but I was a rock climber for 20 years, and I can tell you how a cliff face will feel from 200 metres away.
This is very enlightening. I’d never thought of soil as delicious but now I see the possibilities. Our soil is extremely sandy—our garden close to the water and needs tremendous enhancement. I wonder if you have thoughts about the health of that kind of soil...
Sandy soil can be great to grow in. It’s good to build up a filth by piling up in beds about six inches of compost. Let that sit for a few months and keep adding to it after each planting and you will have nice produce
This is so good, Kate. Also known as gut feeling. No? Thanks for reminding us to trust ourselves a bit more.
Yes. Gut feeling is a great way to describe it. If we are drawn to soil to feel it and smell it, it is probably good.
