Elaine Ingham, perhaps the most famous soil scientist on Earth, has passed. She will be missed greatly.  She helped people understand the microbiology in soils, how they can help, and how pesticides and synthetics were destroying them.  She helped millions learn how to garden and farm sustainably, in harmony with nature's principles.

It is sad to hear of her departure but I can't help but look to her life and have gratitude for it and all that Dr. Ingham has given us and done for the field of soil health--and thus the health of all earthly beings. Maybe loss and gratitude go hand in hand?

An absolute loss to the community. She was one of those salt of the earth types. Her contributions to our understanding of soil and regenerative agriculture will keep her name alive for generations to come.
