HOW TO INCREASE SOIL MICROBES? A SOIL SCIENTISTS VIEW ON SOIL BUGS | Gardening in Canada

Wonder how to increase soil microbes? This video about increasing soil microbes is important because soil microbes actually help cycle nutrients. Essentially free fertilizer

Imagine a pinch a soil that weights no more than a paper clip. That soil contains:
3,000,000 to 500,000,000 bacteria
1,00,000 to 20,000,000 actinomycetes
5,000 to 1,000,000 fungi
1,000 to 500,000 protozoa
1,000 to 500,000 algae
10 to 5,000 nematodes

1. food and most of all they want sugar.
2. Cover crops - this is going to change the rhizosohere, moisture controls, and depending on your crop adding in nutrients.
3. Moisture- and this is important the wrung out sponge dampness
4. No till - a few trains of thought here none absolute. first being tillage amplifies compaction due to aggregates being torn apart this means less oxygen. Initial tillage means more oxygen and then a growth explosion including weeds.
5. Mulch you can’t mulch and cover crop.
6. Pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers I disagree
