The degradation of soil quality is a growing concern due to overuse of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and unsustainable farming practices. These harmful substances strip away essential nutrients, leaving soils infertile and unable to sustain healthy crops. The loss of organic matter and microbial life further exacerbates the problem, leading to reduced soil fertility and diminished crop yields. This environmental imbalance impacts food security, ecosystem health, and climate stability. Sustainable practices like organic farming, crop rotation, and using biofertilizers are crucial in restoring soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and ensuring long-term agricultural productivity for future generations.
Oxygen-rich soils are vital for plant health and growth. Enhancing soil oxygen levels helps restore nutrient balance, improving crop yield and overall soil quality.

We commit to restoring soil quality and promoting sustainable practices for a healthier ecosystem. By acknowledging the challenges, we aim to enhance the vitality of our soils and support future generations.
Soil quality is crucial for sustainable agriculture, environmental health, and food security. Healthy soils promote biodiversity, retain moisture, and enhance nutrient availability, leading to robust crop growth. However, industrial farming practices, excessive use of chemicals, and deforestation are depleting soil health, resulting in erosion and loss of fertility. This degradation threatens our ecosystems and food supply. By prioritizing soil health through organic practices and mindful land management, we can restore balance, increase resilience, and ensure that future generations inherit fertile lands capable of sustaining life. Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving ecosystem.
My love for plants began when I became my grandmother’s little apprentice at the age of 3. We tended a small garden filled with flowers, vegetables, and a few tropical fruit trees. Some of my most vivid and cherished memories are of climbing those trees with friends. At home, we kept cows and chickens, and composting felt as natural as breathing. Practices like keeping the soil covered and layered farming were simply a way of life.
Our family relied on the income from cultivating rice on our 15-acre land, but irrigation from the canal wasn’t always reliable. My father had to borrow money to install a borewell, and yet, the motor often broke down at critical times, affecting our harvest. I still remember the sight of that damaged motor being brought home to be taken for repair. My mother would pray over it as if it were a sacred idol, and though I didn’t understand her sadness then, those moments left a deep impression. She often warned me, “If you don’t study hard, you’ll end up doing dishes your whole life,” and told my brother he would have to care for the cattle. My parents were determined that we wouldn’t follow in their farming footsteps, a message they drilled into us.
We eventually moved to a nearby town for better schooling, then to a larger city for higher education, and finally to the U.S. in pursuit of greater opportunities. Despite all these transitions, we always had a few plants in containers, keeping us connected to our roots.
When we bought a house on a ¾-acre lot in New Jersey, we immediately returned to gardening. Each year, I expanded the garden, with my whole family pitching in. My daughter would help design the space and work with the seeds, while my son wandered about, rescuing earthworms to place in the compost, often telling me I was disturbing them with my gardening efforts.
The past 20 years, I have practiced various ways of soil nourishment with all the local ingredients that otherwise would end in landfill. The real life regenerative practices, bountiful production of 35+ varieties that include fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs, tropicals, perennials, etc. lead me closer to living my dream and take the next steps.
I put myself through the Master Gardener program at Rutgers University’s cooperative extension to learn local practices. I studied hybrids, tissue culture, GMO crops, and even took a course on CRISPR gene editing from Harvard University. After reading countless books and listening to many podcasts, I chose to dive deeper into soil health and joined Dr. Elaine Ingham’s Soil Food Web school. I’m now a certified lab technician through the program and currently undergoing their consultant training.
I’ve since left my IT career behind. Today, I manage a 2.5-acre guava plantation in India, a half-acre flower and vegetable garden at home, and I’m building my own business as a soil consultant!
