Field Notes from a Tucson Garden

Dated observations, soil biology, native perennials, and locally adapted plants from a Tucson home garden.

Garden Notes

For the past three years, I’ve been working to bring life back into the soil in my backyard. I started Desert Soil because I wanted a place to document what I’ve tried, share what I’ve observed, and show that the Sonoran Desert is much more welcoming to life than we often think.

Journal

This is where I share the projects I’m working on around my backyard, from building soil and growing plants to creating habitat and using water differently. I’ll document what I did, how it turned out, and what I would change next time.
