Understanding Organic Carbon in the garden
Soil is not just dirt. It's a living, breathing entity teeming with organisms, nutrients, and organic matter. At the heart of this organic matter lies organic carbon, derived from decomposed plant and animal materials. This carbon forms the backbone of soil organic matter, making it a critical component of soil health.
The Role of Soil Microorganisms in gardens
Discover the bustling world of soil microorganisms. These tiny, often overlooked inhabitants play a crucial role in maintaining and improving soil health, supporting plant growth, and contributing to the global ecological balance. Let's dive into the unseen world of soil microorganisms and uncover how they can transform your garden into a more vibrant and resilient ecosystem.
Nitrogen in the Garden
Nitrogen is a key player in plant nutrition, integral to proteins and chlorophyll, the molecule that gives plants their green colour and enables photosynthesis. However, not all nitrogen is created equal.
The Carbon Cycle: A Gardener's Guide
One of the fundamental processes we engage with—often without even realising it—is the carbon cycle. This global carbon exchange among the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms is critical to life on Earth.
