Ecological Importance

Welcome to Ellen Blossom, where differences are made. Becoming one with nature. <3

Pollinators

Oh, how easy life must be for Earth's nearly invisible ecosystem. Billions of microscopic insects and spirited birds live in this world. Imagine a warm evening on the back porch and the sun shining on your skin. The air you breathe feels so light. The birds are chirping, butterflies fluttering and those annoying bugs are buzzing, yet the moment is calming.

Neutralizing Soils

Hover over me.

God has a plan for you.

Jeremiah 29:11

Do you know what kind of soil you have at your home?

For most people, determining what minerals are in their soil is a difficult task. Great news for you! We will go over the different types of soils and how to maintain a balance of nutrients. Take a look at our simple display of what components make each type of soil.

Loam

Loam soil is a type of soil that is a mixture of sand, silt, and clay. It is known for its ability to retain moisture and nutrients, making it ideal for growing plants. Loam soil is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for plant growth. Additionally, loam soil has a neutral pH level, which is also beneficial for plant growth.

More Information

Sand

Sand soil is a type of soil that is composed of mostly sand particles. It is known for its excellent drainage and aeration properties, making it ideal for growing plants that require good drainage. However, sand soil is also known for its poor water and nutrient retention, which can make it challenging to grow certain types of plants. To improve the quality of sand soil, it is recommended to add organic matter such as compost or manure.

Chalk

Chalk soil is a type of soil that is characterized by its high pH level and its ability to retain moisture. It is typically found in areas with chalk or limestone bedrock and is known for producing crops with a unique flavor profile. If you are looking to grow crops in chalk soil, it is important to understand its properties and how to properly manage it for optimal results.

Peat

Peat soil is a type of soil that is formed from partially decomposed plant material. It is characterized by its high organic matter content and acidic pH. Peat soil is commonly found in wetland areas and is often used as a fuel source or for horticultural purposes. However, it is important to note that the extraction and use of peat soil can have negative environmental impacts, such as the release of greenhouse gases and destruction of important habitats.

Ecosystems

When we are talking about ecosystems we are not simply saying the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. No, we dig deep into the 5 main biotic factors: animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and protists. Do you want to dig more?
