Recent soil tests show that the amount of organic matter in the soil is increasing in some of the gardens, staying fairly level in others, and apparently declining in one of the gardens. This divergence is likely due to the management practices in the different gardens, but it could also be because of deficiencies in key nutrients rather than simply differences in the amount of high carbon material that is brought in.
