It’s premature for me to comment on our soil’s health, but it feels really different this year.  I wonder if our accumulated efforts to improve the soil during the last six years have reached a new critical mass where now processes are working far beyond what we’ve done?

I’ve never seen the ground out there as alive as it is right now — even in the more difficult parts of the yard.  I’m hopeful that we’ll see a difference this year in what we are able to produce.
