For 10+ yrs, there’s been 1 person to credit as BOTH our earliest adopter & strongest supporter…

gave me my 1st vermicomposting gig 🪱when she worked , and since then has connected me to every suitable opportunity that comes across her desk! 🖥️

Yesterday she offered to connect us with & help’em manage their fruit 🍌 🍅waste.

Julia has built her career & on endless commitment and support for organic food, organic soil and organic business growth! 🥰

Julia’s a huge fan of Soil Booster products and recently shared this pic. 📸 Her plant babies are very lucky to have her… and so am I! 🌱

If you love healthy plants, healthy people, and a healthy planet as much as I do, heart ❤️ this post to send thanks to Julia for empowering us to do what we do! 💪

Counting down the days (no)’till you get back in the soil?😂

Regenerative Growing Principles are cover (cropping) the globe with hope for a brighter future! Diversity is key to the transition away from toxic, fossil fuel chemicals that hurt biology (yep - that includes us!) ☣️

I’ve got you (and your soil!) covered with natural growing amendments made from up-cycled food waste. Keep your roots in the ground AT ALL TIMES and work with Mother Nature to feed soil microbes, who will feed your plants and ultimately you! 🦠🌱🍅

Check out my blog at link in bio for more dirt (and dirt-cheap puns) to get your fix on soil health!

👻 Beware the dreaded fruit stickers! 😈 they may be small, but have the power to haunt your compost…trust me!😱🙈

They take years and years to break down, and are not eaten by worms.

Best to remove them before composting your peels. And avoid them in the first place if you can!

Kickstarter is LIVE! ⚡

After 2yrs developing Canada’s ONLY climate-friendly potting soil, we're ready to expand our impact - but we need your help!

To scale production of our peat-free, living potting soil, we’ve launched a 30 day Kickstarter campaign with a $10K goal.

But this is about SO much more than raising money...

When Canadians understand soil health in their own backyard, they're better equipped to advocate for the large-scale system changes required if we're to solve the climate crisis in the few short years we have remaining to do so.

Together we can inspire our communities with the potential regenerative agriculture holds to heal ourselves, and our planet!

It all starts right here, right now with your pledge towards our Raw & Regenerative Potting Soil campaign!

Signs of Spring! 🌱

We still have snow covering the gardens outside but all my indoor plants are confident spring has sprung! So much new growth everywhere I look!

Does anyone else run around to each plant every morning whispering words of encouragement and congratulations for new leaves coming out? Positive reinforcement is so key! (A sprinkle of Probiotics for Plants Worm Manure doesn’t hurt either!)🤓

This Friday join .food’s Garden Week 2023 for my presentation: “Go Peat-free in ‘23!”

They have a great roster of speakers lined up throughout the weekend, and all sessions are free! But you do need to register, so be sure to sign up via their eventbrite page!

It’s not everyday a wee’ worm farmer gets recognized for her career! It’s a special kind of university that can appreciate a garbage geek! ♻️🤓🔬

Thank you & for selecting me as a “Top 10 After 10” graduate. 🏆

I’m looking forward to returning to campus and meeting with students in the (new!) Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems program, who share my passion for regenerative growing! 🌱❤️‍🔥🌳

Please let me know if you would like to learn more about the best undergraduate university in Canada! (And yes, I’m a bit bias!) 👍

Mark your calendars! The Plant Expo is running alongside the Toronto Reptile Expo & we’ll be there! 👋
Feb 26 join us at Canada’s longest running reptile event, now with a focus on sustainable plant care. 🌱🌎✅ Visit booth #320, mention you saw this post & I’ll give you a special gift! 🎁

Who can guess what’s going on here at the farm today? Drop your answer in the comments! ⬇️

(Hint: There’s a clue in my stories!)

Are you doing the same?

Anyone else existing *solely* on toasted tomato sandwiches these days? 🍅🍅🍅 Totally healthy, right??

My preferred “recipe”? (Ok, recipe is generous…)
-Toasted English Muffin
-Generous layer of Mayo
-Thick slice of homegrown tomato
-Sprinkle of salt
-Lots of ground pepper

And better make an extra one for me while you’re at it! I’ll be over shortly!

The summertime heat is here and your plants should be loving it! Make sure you have a good layer of mulch to protect your soil, like on this flower bed, to hold moisture in during this heatwave!

Hold off on watering until the late evening though, when plants will be benefit from a good long drink of water - in fact, we all will!

Enjoy the Ontario heat!
