Mark Garrett, Soneva Fushi's resident permaculturist in the Maldives, says that his job is all about 'growing soil'. In this video he explains what he means by this and how he does this without using manmade synthetic chemicals. He gives the lowdown on 'no dig' gardening techniques, sheet mulching and living ground covers.
