We are facing an extreme drought in North Carolina. This spring was the driest on record, drier than the Dust Bowl. We're over 15 inches behind normal rainfall, and it would take 8 to 12 inches of steady rain in a single month just to catch up.
Greyson breaks down why the answer isn't watering trees one at a time. It starts underground. Compacted dirt sheds water like a roof. Healthy soil holds it like a sponge, giving trees something to drink for weeks after a storm.
In this video, you'll learn the three things that turn dead dirt back into living soil: adding organic matter like leaves and wood chips, cutting out synthetic chemicals that kill soil life, and planting native trees, shrubs, and flowers with roots built for the long haul.
Most of this costs nothing. Leave the leaves. Skip the sprays. Spread some wood chips. Small shifts that add up to landscapes built to hold water, season after season.
