You Can Only Manage What You Measure
Biological soil analysis measures what is living and active in your soil.
Think of healthy, living soil like a bustling, diverse city. Starting with microscopic one-celled bacteria, algae, fungi, and protozoa. Now add more complex organisms like nematodes and microarthropods. Then include things visible to the human eye, including earthworms, and small vertebrates. Now you truly have the components of a scurrying metropolis beneath your feet.
As a city needs all parts to function properly, so the soil organisms need to be balanced, living, and active to promote the soil’s health. These organisms all work, grow, and function together in a complex, dynamic relationship that we call the soil food web.
This interdependence results not only in a healthy soil environment, but also clean air and clean water. Moreover, proper soil biology also results in reduced water runoff as well as healthy plants that are free of pests and disease.
Biological soil analysis gives you a benchmark for truly knowing the health of your soil. Using this as a starting point, we can work together to reintroduce helpful bacteria, fungi, and other organisms that your soil may be lacking. Renewing your soil with proper biology creates a strong arsenal that supports the plants that you want to grow without expensive–and usually harmful–inputs. When you add the life back, you will watch your plants flourish right before your eyes.
When soil contains the correct amounts of diverse organisms in the proper balance, plants and crops grow better, are stronger, and are chocked full of nutrients. Pesticides, herbicides, and other harsh chemicals that harm the delicate biological soil web are no longer needed. This leaves your pocketbook fuller, the earth healthier, and people happier.
Together we can take your dead dirt and transform it into living and active soil. This transformation will provide a better future for both you and the environment!
