Can underwear tell a soil story?
A woman buries clean cotton underwear.
She puts it in her garden.
At first, nothing happens.
She waits for two months.
Then, she digs it up.
The cloth has many holes.
Why?
Microbes ate the cotton.
Microbes are very small living things.
They live in the soil.
They eat old plants and cotton.
So, more holes can mean more life.
But this is one simple check.
Her garden looks quiet.
Still, a busy world lives below.
Good soil is not empty.
It is alive.
