Skazochnik & Ugreen
Hey Ugreen, I’ve been revisiting those old village tales about the earth spirits who watch over the soil—do you think those myths still have a place in our modern composting and vertical‑farming practices?
Sure, those stories are a nice reminder that soil isn’t just dirt, it’s a living thing that deserves respect, but in the lab we’re still stuck with pH meters, compost bins, and spreadsheets to make sure the microbes stay happy, not just folklore.
That’s exactly why I keep a little notebook beside my pH meter—every spike I record gets a footnote with the village tale about the “soul of the loam,” just to keep the soil’s memory alive, you know? But I totally get the spreadsheet crunch; it’s the modern way to keep the microbes dancing while the stories stay in the soil.
