Sure, I hear you. I’ve checked the soil, done a quick pH test, and added a solid batch of home‑made compost—full of kitchen scraps, old veggies, and the right microbes. I’ve got a buffer of activated charcoal to scrub any heavy metals. I’ll run a microbe count before we dig in. If it’s not up to snuff, I’ll toss it out. Don’t worry, the green thumb is on the job, even if my memory sometimes forgets birthdays. Let's keep it safe and wild.
