I’m really enjoying these videos with Shannon and the views through her microscope. We hear so much about building beneficial bacteria in the soil, but this is the first time I’ve really paid attention to higher forms of life. Really looking forward to seeing how you guys develop those!
Can't wait until the next video on this project!
Obviously a cultured homeowner/client who initially retained your services and now does so once again. Most Americans do not even know what a Landscape Architect is, let alone interested in paying for said services. Oh America, still a young country remiss of the wonderful culture(s) of much older civilized parts of the world. As always, an enjoyable informative video. Thank you.
Not much color diversity in the initial evaluation plus a lot of moss and wet soil. I would put a contrasting mulch or other ground cover to break up all the green. Plus I dislike the look of mossy wet dirt. Put in some shade tolerant shrubs or plants with some different pops of flower color. Work your magic, John and Chip.
The garden is too clipped, but not perfectly clipped at the same time to make a statement. It has no personality.
How does one become a soil consultant? I want this job! Haha.
Oh gawd! Pull all those knarly old shrubs.
Interesting, as always. Shannon, Sherry, and Chip make great partners. I'm anxiously awaiting the yard and soil transformation!
That rock hard bare soil needs a yearly deposit of compost or mulch to keep it from turning into concrete. That's the problem with landscapers scrubbing the beds of any leaves and or organic material just to be neat and tidy.
Thendirt in veggy beds needs to be completely replaced periodically, every 5 or so years
The microscope view was interesting, can you show us what healthy soil is supposed to be?
