Hello, Has anyone had time to join some of the presentations?

My vision of an Oasis is where we steward a protected pocket. Where soil wakes up and water can gather. It’s a place where natures helpers can promote abundance inside of scarcity. It is a designed living system that promotes resilience, captures water, builds fertile soil, grows shade and creates refuge for people, plants, animals. I see an Oasis as a place for rest, fellowship, barter, and steady resilience without fear. An Oasis is what each of us can dream in our mind, build with our body and enjoy with our soul.

Daikon radish is nature’s tiller. Clay beds, beds crusted over, paths that got walked on too many times. Daikon sends one strong taproot straight down. It pushes into the hard layer, opens tiny cracks, then widens them. That creates new air space for worms, water, roots, microbes. Daikon also mines the subsoil. It pulls up nutrients from deeper down, then stores them in the root and leaves. When we chop it down or let it winter kill, that nutrition returns to the topsoil as it breaks down. The root becomes a soft tunnel that the next crop can follow. How we use it in the garden Plant it thick like a living drill bit.Keep it moist until it sprouts.Let it grow without disturbance. No pulling. No digging. When it is time, we either chop it at the soil line or let frost take it. Leave the root in place. Cover with mulch. Let the soil life do the rest. https://www.skool.com/oasis-builders-8012/classroom/54fca587?md=0ad574d9bef442469c9d80b6cd74f35e
