Much like larger food chains, in the soil there are prey organisms that feed on the plants and organic matter in their environment, and there are predatory organisms that feed on the smaller organisms and keep those populations in balance. When in the right balance and diversity, these microorganisms work in harmony to create a whole ecosystem that builds healthy living soil and provides nutrients
in plant available forms, so your plants can thrive WITHOUT THE USE OF CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS. The soil food web is made up of a huge variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, micro-arthropods, and more! These are the tiniest parts of the food chain and each have their own role to play. The bacteria and fungi play both play an important role in the process of breaking down organic matter and turning it into a plant available form. Without bacteria and fungi species, nutrient cycling becomes very impaired and the soil quickly becomes devoid of nutrients. They are also both essential to creating beneficial soil structure, which allows for aerobic conditions and good water retention. Protozoa, nematodes, and micro-arthropods are all predatory microorganisms that prey on bacteria and fungi, and the excretions of these organisms offer a rich source of plant-available nutrients. This group of microorganisms also work to out-compete any pathogenic microbes that may be present in the soil, providing natural protection from pests and disease. When the whole soil ecosystem is working in harmony, we see major improvements in the health and resilience of the plants that grow in that soil. These plants are known to:
be more w**d and pest resistant
have deeper root systems
grow larger and/or produce higher yields
