    I watch a documentary called Kiss the Ground related to the importance of soil in carbon capture. One of the key take aways for me was how detrimental it is to till soil for agriculture and how much carbon can be capture with proper vegetation management.

    Prepared my garden for planting by adding organic material with a shallow till. Bought organic seeds for planting next month. Need to install a drip system for watering. The garden production is generally much more than we can eat so my plan is to provide free produce for the neighborhood.

      I'm planning similar for later in April - still too cold at nights. This year I am reducing the number of tomato plants and planting half the garden in pollinator and butterfly-friendly wildflowers
