"Scientists have found that cold-water coral reefs -similar to those located in tropical areas but found at greater depths- are distributed in a specific way throughout space to maximize the availability of resources, acquired through capturing particles of organic matter that are transported by marine currents".

STILL working my way through my epic haul of 100+ leaf bags back in Oct. Majority have been used to mulch garden beds and cold frames. Now I'm having to break out the Geobin #compost bins to handle the overflow. May need a third one, not sure. I love these. Tough as nails, endlessly reusable, yet they roll up and take very little storage space. So much easier than chicken wire. #permaculture #gardening #organicmatter #leavetheleaves (which nobody does),

The development of a litter and humus layer on sandy #soil in regenerating #boreal #forest after clearance for agriculture (and 🔥).

Really interested to see how #organicmatter influences soil arthropod communities at #PyeCentre after seeing these cores.
