Why is this plant or tree not growing? 

Is there a quick-fix that solves the problem?

Can some numbers solve the riddle? 

Phosphorus is missing, phosphorus is added.

Is it this easy to understand the belowground world? 

Are those numbers representing the complexity of procedures happening below? 

– It is the complexity of ecosystems, beings and their feedbacks we simplify out. 

It is the belowground life allowing nutrients to cycle, ecosystems to be balanced, water to infiltrate in pores created. 

We want life to grow and to produce by ignoring the simple functions of life: Diversity, nurture, selfregulation. Cancelled-out. 

If you want to fix a soil, do not listen to your own need to control and interfere. 

Listen to the needs of the earthworms, mites and fungi. 

Let them be in charge. 

They will whisper to you the solution how to fix soils while leaving some humbleness, empathy and gratitude.
