CHECK OUT LIVING SOIL

EXPERIENCE YOUR POTENTIAL

Organic gardening would not be Organic without a richly-diverse Living Soil teeming with life! It's ALL about the soil!

WHAT IS LIVING SOIL?

Living Soil is the community of microbes working together breaking down organic matter which, in turn, provides valuable nutrition to the plants.

Soil microbes are essential for decomposing organic matter and recycling old plant material. Microorganisms are the unseen majority in soil and make up a huge part of soil’s genetic diversity. This means easier absorption of nutrients by plant roots, reduced need for watering, limited erosion, and improved aeration. A combination of organic materials such as compost, coco coir, peat moss, aged tree bark, manure, worm castings, and more can be used to make a base for living soil.

Like all living things, soil needs water, and flows water along the path of least resistance to bring hydration and nutrients to plant roots. Water remains in the soil by storing itself in porous minerals for later use.

Most beneficial life requires oxygen to survive and the complexity of living soil ensures air and moisture are continually cycled to keep roots oxygenated and allows plants to breathe. Organic soil additives must be broken down by microorganisms for plants to use them and three important microorganisms for living soil to function properly are bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi.

MORE THAN DIRT!

Soil is so much more than dirt. Soil is a living ecosystem - a large community of living organisms linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.

Every teaspoon of soil is home to billions of microorganisms - bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects, and earthworms that play important roles.

Bacteria and fungi break down dead plant and animal tissue which become nutrients for plants.

Nematodes eat plant material and other soil organisms, releasing plant nutrients in their waste.

Specialized Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationships with plants. The fungi bring hard-to-reach nutrients and water directly to plant roots, and the plants provide the fungi with carbohydrates.

Worms and insects shred and chew organic material into smaller bits bacteria and fungi can easily access.

Garden earthworms burrow and create pathways in soil that fill with air and water for plant roots.
