Let's talk about how climate change is impacting how/when we garden - share some observations

2. I've been gardening in the same place since 1976. The changes would fill a book.

Since I’ve just put on my shirt to go out and weed the tomatoes, I’ll only mention the single biggest change: the nature of the soil. In the past 15 or 20 years the earthworms have proliferated so greatly that the structure of the soil has changed.

I’m not just talking about the places where we’ve added compost yearly, I’m talking about nearly every area of the whole 30 acres. The soil is still very fertile and things grow well, but it’s not exactly friable. It’s more what I would call granulated. It’s unsettling.

I’ll be very interested to hear other gardeners’ observations. This is a great question NRaleighLiberal, thanks.
