Hello everyone, and welcome to Soil First Gardening! I'm Toby, your guide in this community. As an ecology student and hands-on gardener, I started this space to move beyond theory and focus on the practical, sustainable skills that actually help our gardens (and our soil) thrive. Whether you're growing on a balcony, in a backyard, or on a windowsill. You are in the right place. To break the ice, I’d love for you to introduce yourself below and share a photo of your current gardening space, whether it's an established garden, hopeful patch of dirt, or even just a sunny windowsill! Let's see where we're all starting from and grow from there together. I'll start: I'm currently managing my university's community garden, where I'm building new compost systems and planning the spring beds. Here's a picture of our garden shed and some of the winter seedling trays I have going! Now it's your turn! Say hello and share a pic below 👇
