About Marie…. I am an organic gardener of 13 years. I believe in educating anyone who wants to learn how to garden organically so most of my clients work alongside me to learn hands-on. I have 10 plus years of experience teaching organic gardening to students at our local school’s kindergarten through 8th grade. Currently, I work on a ranch caring for their orchard, building organic gardens, and garden beautification. Establishing a regenerative approach using the living soil recipe, compost, and organic methods. I set you up with the living soil recipe process so you are year after year building healthy biology in the soil and growing healthy fruits and vegetables.
Let’s open this can of worms and talk about living garden soil “the dirt”. I will be sharing on thelivingsoilrecipe.com blog my experience and knowledge with building the best soil in the world. My hope is you will learn something new and get inspired to build your organic gardens.
My STORY
I started with a “black thumb” 13 years ago BUT I loved plants, and nature and wanted to have a vegetable garden. I grew up with a grandma who grew honeydew and cantaloupe in the desert. She was good at gardening. I asked her one day “What was your secret to gardening?” she handed me a couple of books and one of them was called lasagna gardening and then said, “You can buy fruits and veggies at the store you know”.
After reading the books I began planning my first garden. Lasagna gardening was quite a different approach and a little mind-bending for me. I could not wrap my head around it but I trusted my grandma so I followed the method.
WHY I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE
My first lasagna garden was a success and I was so inspired by the results of this type of gardening. I learned so much about composting, soil food web, and what dirt truly is. I felt like I was doing my part to help mother earth. I finally found the secret to good gardening and how amazingly organic and good for the planet this is. I want to help other people get their veggie gardens going and see the bounty of their efforts. Empowering others with this method of gardening so they can see the magic too.
THE GOAL
To demystify gardening for all who want to garden well. Experience success in the garden with abundant, healthy flowers, fruit, and veggies. I will guild you step by step. Learning this way of gardening will save you a lot of money, and water and bring you joy.
