Soil Regeneration

Heard of soil regeneration?

“We not only grow plants from soil, but also grow soil from the plants.” ~ Mr. Tang Hung Bun

I attended Mr Tang's soil regeneration online workshop and a session of site visit in 2021.

I realised that the soil we use in our planting pots or containers are usually "quite dead"!

Firstly, the soil structure is usually lack of humus content.

Secondly, the soil in our planting pot does not provide a conducive environment for beneficial micro-organism to thrive. Hence, 99% of the time, our soil in containers or pots are lack of beneficial microorganism and microflora.

To keep our soil alive, we need to make our planters and pot a microecology for microorganisms and microflora to thrive.

We need to introduce these microorganism and microflora into the soil and keep high amount of organic matter in the pots for them to continue to work in the soil and keep the soil alive! Living soil will give back to the plants.

The soil and plant is one eco-system!

Cultivate Your Soil and Make it Alive!

You can cultivate the soil from scratch or using a readily make product to kickstart the micro eco-system of the soil and feed your plant at the same time. Please note that we creating an ecology for the soil, it will take time for the system t work properly over time.

A. Feed Your Soil with Organic Material - Compost

B. Keep Your Soil Planted and Covered All the Time

C. Do Not Till Your Soil

D. Let the Organic Material Accumulate on Your Soil

Create Your Own Compost from Food Waste and Garden Waste

Is there a faster way to introduce beneficial microbes into your pots?

Cultivating living soil take time. While waiting for soil to regenerate itself, we can add catalytic microbial soil enhancer to kickstart the process.

Do remember to keep a conducive soil environment for your soil to live! Adding microbial soil enhancer regularly is a way to keep replenishing depleted soil organisms before your soil is full self-regenerating,
