How can gardeners utilize regenerative farming practices in their lawn and garden management to enhance soil health and promote carbon sequestration?

ANSWER: Gardeners can use regenerative practices by minimizing soil disturbance, avoiding synthetic chemicals, and incorporating compost to improve soil structure. Planting cover crops, using mulch, and encouraging biodiversity with native plants enhances soil health. Integrating trees and perennials sequesters carbon while practicing crop rotation and polyculture supports a balanced ecosystem. These methods increase organic matter, fostering a rich, living soil that captures carbon and fosters a thriving garden.

guest How do cover crops specifically contribute to soil health? What are some examples of native plants that could be beneficial for enhancing biodiversity in a garden? Can you explain how crop rotation helps support a balanced ecosystem in more detail?
