Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Norma Sutton" <sweetspringfarm@gmail.com>]

Healthy soil contains many earthworms, many fine hair like structures and is loose and crumbly to touch.  The crops grown in this type of soil are usually larger with better taste.

How do you describe healthy soil?  Where is the defining line between a
healthy and unhealthy soil and what is the grey area between?  Numbers,
characteristics, or is it a race without a finish line?  Is a crop healthy
because it has no bugs or disease or is a crop without bugs or disease
because it is healthy and is the absence of bugs and disease the only
defining line to healthy crops?
