Its also therapeutic. One of the things I look forward to most is getting a tonne of good soil delivered. I have to shovel it and wheelbarrow it to the back yard. Takes an entire day. I will drink 4L+ of water and sweat the whole time. A good way to balance out a busy week plugged into tech 12hrs a day.
Soil is amazing. Problem is, however, we over farmed. Try planting a seed and growing a fruit or vegetable bearing plant in a non farm. The flavor will be 10x what you taste at even Whole Foods or a farmers market.
