Hey everyone, Kevin from Epic Gardening here.

We are continuing on with the best of weeks here on the podcast.

Hope you enjoy.

What's going on everyone?

Welcome back to the podcast, Kevin here from Epic Gardening.

I'm here with Nicole Masters.

She is the international agro-ecologist and we are going to be talking today.

We've talked a lot about my chrysal fungi.

We've talked about protozoa, about nematodes, about the soil, food web in general, and

kind of just what's going on beneath the soil.

So today we're going to talk about how to know what's going on in your soil, what is growing

down below.

And so Nicole, I think this is a really good one because it brings it back down to, hey,

how do I use this knowledge in my garden?

So how does someone even begin to tackle this problem?

So really the whole process starts, but really turning on your eyes and your observations.

And so a lot of gardeners are just extraordinary at above ground, what plants are they growing,

the health of those plants, they blow me out of the water with their practical skills,

not enough for digging underneath the soil to have a look at what's happening around

the plant roots and what's happening with plant health.

And so if we really want to figure out what's happening above ground, we have to dig below

ground.
