Microbes & Bioavailibility: Getting the most out of your Garden | Thread #My420Cents #FOOP

1/ Microbes are microorganisms that make up all aspects of life around us. The microbes in your soil are beneficial bacteria and fungi that participate in the rhizophagy cycle, delivering nutrients in a more efficient form to your plant’s roots.

2/ These tiny particles actually help make nutrients in the soil easier for plant uptake and efficient use. #Microbes #Bioavailability

3/ Microbes break down nutrients in your soil, specifically nitrogen, making them easier for the plants to process, increasing the bioavailability and efficacy of your feeding efforts.

4/ For a plant, bioavailability means the proportion of nutrients being used by the plant. When you feed your plants, you are feeding the microbes in your soil which eat, digest and excrete your plant food, which is then more easily absorbed and digested by your plants.

5/ Soil food webs that are high in microbes are more effective and efficient with the nutrients in their soil, minimizing energy and nutrients wasted in your garden. The more microbes you have, the more bioavailable your nutrients will be.

6/ Why are microbes important? Microbes make your garden more efficient. They pre-chew the food for your plant, if you will. Most plants don’t eat most of the food they are fed; Studies have shown that up to 90% of nutrients applied to soils are unavailable and go unused.

7/ Microbes can increase the amount of nutrients that your plants are actually eating. Studies have shown that soil that is high in bacteria can influence the bioavailability (a measure of how easily plants can absorb the food you’re adding to the soil) of the nutrients added.

8/ High microbe levels can increase your plants’ ability to properly use the nutrients that you are feeding it, reducing waste and increasing efficiency in your grow. The more organic & natural the nutrients & microbes are, the more efficient the entire system becomes.

9/ Nutrient lines like ours are designed with microbes in mind. Organic nutrient lines that feature organic compounds as well as organic microbes double down on efficacy and bioavailability.

FOOP's line of organic nutrients delivers everything high-yielding plants need to flourish, including organic microbials that help increase your garden's efficiency. Learn more: https://www.my420cents.com/microbes-bioavailibility-getting-the-most-out-of-your-garden #FOOP
