A Complete Guide to Soil Microbiology

The single most impactful thing a gardener can do is learn about how plants work. To do that, you must learn about the soil food web of life. I hope to cover this topic in detail in this video, but also keep you awake and entertained while doing so. This is just really important information to put into your gardening tool kit, because it will save you from making many mistakes – some of which can cost you decades.

This video represents years (literally) of reading books (including university textbooks), podcasts, research papers and digging that I have done. This isn’t me talking here, this is me simply relaying the information I’ve learned in my own journey.

So much of this information seems like it’s “book info” and not useful in the garden, but it’s simply not true. If a soil test came back high in nitrates but low in ammonium, what FUNDAMENTAL THINGS would that tell you about your soil? After watching this video you will be able to answer that question with ease, and then take specific action to move the system and soil to where it needs to be.
