Soil is alive—and understanding how soil biology works is one of the most powerful ways to become a better gardener. In this video, we’ll explore the hidden world of microbes, fungi, and soil critters, and how they interact with plants to cycle nutrients, build fertility, and grow healthier crops. You’ll learn: The five major groups of soil organisms and how they collaborate with plants How photosynthesis and root exudates fuel the soil food web The role of microbes in making nutrients like N, P, and K available How protozoa, nematodes, arthropods, and earthworms fit into the soil system Three simple and practical ways you can nourish soil biology right now This is a simplified but science-based overview that will give you a solid foundation for working with nature in your garden. If you’d like to go deeper, I highly recommend The Hidden Half of Nature by Anne Bikle and David Montgomery.
