I think improving the soil and making a growable medium (soil or something similar) is something we should ALL be doing. It is a skill we should ALL have.
And it is something that doesn’t require a lot of our time and can cost us absolutely no money.
If you have land and you’ve never improved the soil on that land, it is likely sh*t, especially if you are in an urban area. Most yards in cities are filled with…well…fill. There’s a reason it is called that and not soil. And that reason is because it’s awful to grow in.
But that’s super easy to change!
Sprinkle some used coffee grounds (you can get a big bag of them for free from Starbucks or most other coffee shops) over your yard a couple times a year.
Or make compost (put your kitchen vegetable and fruit scraps and some shredded paper into a closed bucket with holes in it and wait for it to turn into a soil-like substance) and spread that.
Or make leaf mold (place leaves plus some water in a closed bucket with holes in it and wait for that to turn into a soil-like substance) and spread that.
If you live in an apartment building and have a balcony, you can make compost with your kitchen vegetable and fruit scraps and some shredded paper in a closed container with holes on it and place it in a corner of your balcony. In about a year, you’ll have compost, a soil-like substance you can grow plants in.
Some of my buddies sell their balcony-made compost to other people in their apartment buildings. They also keep some for themselves for the future, in case they need to grow some vegetables quickly.
Because that’s the key point. We don’t have to do all the work of planting gardens, etc., right now, but, if we improve our soil, when we DO want to do that, the soil/compost will be ready.

Strike Zone
A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.
***
While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.
She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.
The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.
Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.
Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.
Desperately.
Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.
When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.
She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.
Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.
