Living soil as capital

Soil is not mere dirt — it is a living community: microbes, earthworms, root webs, organic crumbs. That is capital for the next season.

Synthetic fertiliser can boost a crop in the short term while thinning structure and life. Compost, mulch, mixed crops, and seasonal rest help the ground breathe again.

Dung and urine from native cattle such as Khillar belong in that cycle — a reminder of the loop, not a sales pitch.
