We got to build up the very soul of the Soil- and the kids got to understand how the soil likes to eat a diverse spectrum of foods just like we do in order to be the healthiest/most balanced that it can be. This week we compared our own plates to what we feed our soil and saw that there are some striking resemblances between what our bodies need for nutrition and what our soil needs for nutrition- driving the lesson home that:
Our bodies are only as healthy as what we put into them
Our Plants and animals are only as healthy as the soil they eat from
So really--
We are only as healthy as the soil!
So we made quite the feast for the garden....Fed some delicious carbs (compost), some salad (grass clippings, seaweed and comfrey leaf), some fruit (banana peels), some protein (humus), local fish (opihi shell and fish bone meal) and even some dessert (Molasses rich Effective Micro-organisms)
The kids loved it- and had a great day in the garden
