After years of thinking about soil just about every single day, one thing has become immensely clear: the soil has infinite wisdom as soon as we stop and listen. Welcome to wonder of soil audio essays, a collection of essays written by Dr. Yamina Pressler and inspired by the soil. New essays every week (for now)!
