Welcome to rolsoil.com brought to you by High Country Farms
Hello to the world, we hope you have found the right place. Welcome to rolsoil.com. This site was created to be an information resource to help new growers and create new ideas about cultivating our favorite plant. Obviously most, if not all, techniques apply to everyday gardening in general. We consider ourselves to be a test garden. We are located in plant hardiness zone 3 in central British Columbia. We call our growing style Budget Friendly Natural Farming with an emphasis on keeping costs as low as possible. We believe that Recycled Organic Living Soil or natural soil can save the planet. Commercial salt fertilizers are costly and toxic to the environment. Salt fertilizers kill off beneficial bacteria and fungi, which results in the collapse of the soil food web. Without the soil food web providing soil with macro and micro nutrients soil is left void of life destroying our farmlands, personal health, and even the air we breathe. Welcome to rols style growing.
The soil food web and the life forms that make up its inhabitants don’t actually need a whole lot to be happy all they really need is healthy natural soil. This style of growing is more focused on feeding these microscopic friends that in turn feed/protect our plants from sickness and infection. Keep in mind that plants don’t actually need all that much to be happy. Plants require sunlight, high quality soil (ROLS) and moisture. After these base requirements are met everything else is fine tuning. Keep checking up on our site, we plan on adding a ton of new content including amendment charts with rols recipes to get started or even just to look at for more experienced growers. Also feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions. We are #highcountryfarms on Instagram. We also plan on launching a how-to link with YouTube as we get more time and the growing season allows.
