Hello, I am a new permie, Australian, young dad, nurserymen, soil enthusiast and near a year into a steward of 100 acres!!
I have lots of questions, but one most at the forefront of my attention is soil 'sodisity'.
In our region the most common soil profile is a kurosol,
A thin (couple cm to a foot) sandy, grey to white powder topsoil, then a sharp horizon to a clayey, subsoil that when moistened, dissolves leaving behind a kinda sandy clay rock. (Excuse my ignorant description please..)
My question though, are there any techniques or practices that can assist in managing this soil and it's fragile structure?
We are currently using biochar wherever possible, composting and mulching to hold the soil structure where new beds are being made.
My dream is to have my own nursery, to sell direct, and offer seasonal produce/ medicinals.
