Two Simple Tests for Soil Microbial Life

In this excerpt from our whole conversation, Robert teaches us two simple ways to indirectly measure the amount of microbial life in your soil: the "worm test" and the "underwear test".

It’s the beginning of Fall and it’s time to start thinking about next year’s garden – and that means soil preparation! Thankfully we have author, teacher, master gardener, man of science and myth-buster Robert Pavlis – fresh off writing his new book: “Soil Science for Gardeners” – to help us improve our understanding of how we can work with nature to build soil health.

Robert’s published books:
Garden Myths, Soil Science for Gardeners and Building Natural Ponds
Blogs: Garden Myths and Garden Fundamentals
Robert’s YouTube Channel: Garden Fundamentals
Robert’s Facebook Groups: Garden Fundamentals and Building Natural Ponds
Owner of Aspen Grove Gardens
