From Muddy Dirt To Soil
Why use microbial pasture development? The top picture is darker but that is mud all around that round bale--likely deep mud. This picture was taken in August of 2013.
The second picture was taken in August of 2020. That is the same pasture. My biggest disappointment for the past year is that I have not put enough time into pasture development. Even without providing the land with the care that it deserved, the improvement is obvious.
No chemical fertilizers, no poisons, no pesticides, no herbicides--worms, compost, mowing, and multi-species grazing moved this pasture from a muddy mess to a beautiful pasture.
