to 2018 when was the latest soil trend and a cheeky way to bring attention to the power of microbes in healthy soil. We accepted the challenge, and planted a few pairs of Fruit of the Looms in our compost piles.

The New Phytologist's hot-off-the-press study "Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists" mirrors our results as shown in their "Underpants Index". For context, our photo was taken 19 days after we planted. Our compost is full of hungry microbes, eager to go to work in your soil. https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ppp3.70259

Walk this way to see the beautiful Birch Street Revitalization Project!

In partnership with Kennett Trails Alliance, the Borough of Kennett Square, and Square Roots Collective, this project provides a more accessible and beautiful Birch Street with the completion of this 2 mile segment of the Greenway. The Greenway will eventually connect residents and visitors to over 14 miles of trails, 1000+ acres of open space and 10+ parks and preserves. We provided our Enriched Topsoil and Amended Soil.
