How do microorganisms affect humus and thereby soil health? How does soil degradation occur? How does soil erosion affect streams and rivers? How does soil degradation affect farming? How does soil contamination affect the environment? How does soil mineralogy affect pH?
Yes, worms like molasses. Not only are they attracted to the sugars, but the sugar also feeds the microorganisms in the soil. These microorganisms in the soil help make nutrients more bioavailable for the worms and the plants. Just be mindful to always dilute your molasses because too much s...
Here’s how to do a soil test before using alum for plants: Based on these results, you can calculate the right amount of alum to use. It’s often sold in a powdered form, which needs to be diluted in water. The general guideline is to use a small amount, such as a teaspoon of...
Plants such as pumpkin, citrus, and beans highly benefit from fish head fertilizer. Bury a fish head in the pot or a garden at the time of planting. The microorganisms will do their work and break the nutrients in a simpler form to help the plants make the best of the fish scrap!
Earthworms do not eat turfgrass but feed on several different components: Grass clippings, or the thatch layer just below the turf, between the turf and the soil Soil Microorganisms Partially decomposed organic matter How Earthworms Help The Soil: Poop Out Amazing, Free Compost Earthworms excrete th...
The soil is different depending on your geographic region. There are manydifferent soil types, but most vegetables, fruits, and flowers prefer crumbly soil that’s full of organic matter, humus, and microorganisms, and has a neutral pH. ...
By maintaining a suitable pH level, gardeners can ensure that their plants have access to all the essential nutrients they need for healthy growth. pH also plays a crucial role in the activity of beneficial microorganisms in the growing medium. Many beneficial bacteria and fungi that help break ...
Q. What kind of microorganisms do you use, and what were the challenges in getting this system to work? The electrolysis creates a lot of unwanted stuff. It’s never 100% clean and efficient. You get things like hydrogen peroxide, or the electrodes themselves have metals in them that can...
