The Living Soil module is built for organic and no-till growers. If you brew teas, top-dress amendments, mulch from the top down, and think about your soil as a living ecosystem rather than a delivery medium, this is the module for you. Track input rotation, moisture awareness, ecosystem observation, brew and prep scheduling, and a harvest ritual that preserves soil continuity across cycles.
Your soil has a story. It matures over time. The inputs you apply, the biology you cultivate, and the decisions you make between cycles compound into something that gets better over time. This module is designed to capture that story so you can understand it, refine it, and build on it.
Configure your full input rotation: teas, amendments, drenches, foliars, plain water, and rest days, on whatever cycle length fits your program. Canopy shows what's due today, what's coming next, and fires prep reminders for inputs that need advance work, like teas that need to brew overnight.
The rotation view sits on your environment overview so you see your schedule the moment you open the environment. No separate calendar to check. No spreadsheet to reference.
Set up rotations from scratch or start with pre-loaded templates. The BuildASoil ecosystem template includes all 18 products at manufacturer rates. The classic Coot-style DIY approach covers neem/kelp teas, MBP, aloe/fulvic, and coconut water.
Instead of EC and pH fields, you log your rotation day, the inputs you applied, soil moisture level, overall garden health, and notes. The form captures what you observe, not what a meter reads.
Each entry builds your input history over time. You can see what you applied on any given day, how your moisture tracked between waterings, and how your garden health observations correlated with specific inputs or timing changes.
Soil moisture is logged with each entry and tracked as a trend over time. The moisture chart shows you patterns: how quickly your soil dries between waterings, how that rate changes through the grow, and whether your watering cadence matches what the soil needs at each stage.
The trend line helps you find the rhythm that keeps both the plant and the soil ecosystem healthy. Over multiple cycles, you can compare moisture patterns to see how your soil's water retention evolves as it matures.
Living soil gets better with age. The soil maturity system tracks this progression through five tiers: Seedbed, Developing, Established, Thriving, and Legacy. Your soil's tier reflects its history of inputs, cycles completed, and the continuity of the biology you've built.
This isn't a score to optimize. It's a record. A soil bed in its first cycle is a Seedbed. Three cycles in with consistent inputs and no-till practices, it's Established. The tier gives you a frame of reference for where your soil is in its development and helps you make decisions that match its maturity.
The harvest isn't the end. The soil continues. The harvest ritual documents the end of the cycle while preparing your soil for the next.
The ritual captures yield observations, top-dress decisions for the dormancy period, and any amendments you're working into the soil before the next cycle begins.
