I need some clarification, please. Why is add a bad word? This precisely what we're doing.
We are building up bacteria/microbes to 'add' them to the soil, to compensate for a possible shortage.
It's not only tilling which depletes the herd, adding chemicals, acid rain, pollution, pesticides and fungicides, so we need to add extra to replace what is missing or has been killed off, at the same time as we're adding compost or soil amendments.
