How to Build a Cubic Yard of Living Soil (eBook)

A Step-by-Step Workbook for Turning Everyday Waste into Fertile, Nutrient-Dense Soil—From Home Gardens to Regenerative Homesteads

By Eddy Garcia of Living Earth Systems

Grow Soil. Grow Food. Grow Regeneration.

Supercharged Soil is more than just a guide to composting—it’s a blueprint for creating life from waste, right in your backyard, garden, or homestead. Born from decades of off-grid living in a remote Hawaiian valley, this practical and inspiring workbook empowers gardeners, homesteaders, and permaculture enthusiasts to transform everyday scraps into a thriving cubic yard of biologically rich, living soil.

Author Eddy Garcia, founder of Living Earth Systems, shares the regenerative techniques he developed while stewarding land in extreme isolation. Blending ancestral knowledge with modern techniques, he offers readers a hands-on, down-to-earth method for building soil without synthetic fertilizers, relying instead on worms, microbes, fungi, and community-sourced biomass.

Inside you’ll learn how to:

• Build a complete cubic yard of living soil from common kitchen and yard waste.
• Harness the power of worms and beneficial microbes to create a nutrient-dense growing medium.
• Identify and culture indigenous microorganisms (IMO's) from your local environment.
• Create compost systems at any scale—from backyard bins to regenerative farms.
• Cultivate a deeper connection to your land and food through biomimicry and observation.
  

Whether you're managing a regenerative farm or planting your first tomato on a porch, this workbook will guide you, step by step, on a journey to cultivate fertile soil—and a thriving planet.
