We all know the soil is the engine of the
farm’s productivity.
00:00:16
But do you know how well your soil is functioning?
While you’re giving it a check-up with this,
00:00:20
you can use this as well.
Ah, that’s what healthy soil should smell
00:00:35
like. It has the aroma of actinobacteria – that
smell of geosmin – that one-of-a-kind sweet
00:00:41
smell.
Eww. If your soil smells sour, metallic, like
00:00:50
kitchen cleanser – that may be a good indicator
that your soil’s not functioning well, that
00:00:55
your soil biology is out of balance.
So go ahead. Dig it up and give it a sniff.
00:01:01
It only takes a minute.
If you dig a little, you can learn a lot.
