Soil & Organic Gardening Sustainably

Soil

Everything starts with the soil. Your foundation for health is rooted in the soil: A balanced soil with a smell like a forest floor, rich with micro-organisms and macro organisms, the fourteen minerals that are found in the human body and the moisture to support this life. Access to good healthy food is your right as a human being, and you can do it in your back yard, given the right soil.

It is simple logic: A healthy soil leads to healthy plants, leads to healthy animals and the net result is healthy people. Our soils are our primary focus at Kruistementvlei.
