A fantastic read! As an avid gardener I have always identified the condition of my soil by its color and texture and have never actually tested the PH of anything ever. This article made me feel like I was very "in-tune" with my land and my soil. "Soil demands forms of knowledge that remain responsive, provisional, and grounded in material reality." <-- I love that sentence so much!
Love this. Trusting our embodied, sensory knowledge is so important and certainly not encouraged by the systems that would prefer to sell us a soil testing kit!
