What Is Living Soil?
Living Soil is a growing method that builds a diverse ecosystem within the soil, rather than using chemical fertilizers for plant nutrition.
Living soil consists of a mix of fungi, protozoa, bacteria, nematodes, arthropods, worms, and other organic materials that break down nutrients to feed plants the way mother nature intended.
Living microbes and mycelial networks (fungi) symbiotically grow with the plant exchanging nutrients, increasing resistance to disease and reducing the need for importation and use of fertilizers/ pesticides. Which in turn reduces water and soil runoff, reduces total carbon footprint. reduces local impacts on the environment.
For centuries, the use of fertilizer has been common practice to maintain soil fertility and crop yield. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers has led to environmental issues such as serious soil degradation, nitrogen leaching, soil compaction, reduction in soil organic matter, and loss of soil carbon. Because of these concerns, there is a growing demand for development of organic agriculture such as living soil methods.
Living soil requires less energy and fewer harmful chemicals and creates less agricultural waste. It can also provide bigger yields and higher cannabinoid and terpene content. Sungrown, organic cannabis hits different!
