Building healthy soil structure

Teaming With Microbes

This week, Jeff and Jonathan are discussing healthy soil structure—particularly the role of worms. As the true engineers of the soil food web, worms bring organic matter from the surface down into the soil. This action creates burrows that hold air, water, and organic matter, forming the building blocks for a thriving organic soil structure.

After the break, the duo addresses a listener question about the differences between applying chemical treatments versus concentrated organic substances to soil.

Finally, they highlight the importance of maintaining a gardening diary or journal.

All that and more on this episode of Teaming with Microbes!
