- Chemical fertilizers are incredibly effective in increasing yield, however, they have taken away the role of microbes in the soil. What is the importance of soil microbes, and why do we need them?
Hear Laura Decker open up the topic of microbes, including when they thrive, how to build a diverse microbial community, and how to test the microbes in YOUR soil.
00:00 Introduction
00:39 How do chemical fertilizers impact the soil?
02:15 Healthy soils depend on microbes for...
04:19 Root structure
05:10 Understanding microbial communities & soil structure
08:26 The soil aggregate cycle
09:27 Carbon stores
11:45 When do microbes thrive?
13:12 Pros & cons of different soil inputs
16:07 What is limiting microbial biomass in your soil?
18:07 Meet microBIOMETER

What I understand from other speakers and videos is that it’s important for soil life to keep the ground covered, preferably with living plants/roots in the ground, or else with some kind of mulch.
I try to do everything to my garden beds and rows in the fall i seed a diverse Cover crop then cover the seeds with a thin layer of aged Johnson su compost then mulch with finely shredded leaves this is my second year doing cover crop mulch and aged compost and it’s amazing how fast the cover crop takes off and completely take over I’ve noticed after one year better water infiltration way less weeds and healthier soil it’s the only way to garden for me
This is a fantastic review of soil microbes and their complexity. Thank you for putting this together and giving a dynamic presentation with a good narrative and fantastic visuals and information.
Glad it was helpful!
Great introduction. Thank you for your efforts. 🙂
great, thank you for quick concise lecture
Thank you so much, my son and I enjoyed your explanations. 😊
Great lecture!
Thank you very much. I've been looking for a way to check my microorganisms
Excellent video!🎉💚💚
Excellent vedio lecture. Thanks.
Egypt guy appreciate your presentation 🙏🏼
Thanks Laura for an excellent video. Just an observation, but the term SOC or soil organic carbon has become common, and I know I am being pedantic, but it is a tautology, like "reversing backwards". Organic chemistry is carbon chemistry, so saying organic carbon is like saying carbon carbon. I think the terms "soil carbon" or "soil organic matter" are preferable. Please don't take it the wrong way, I really enjoyed the video.
Moringa Oleifera makes a excellent biostimulant. It has the highest level of plant based zeatin. You can grow your own trees and make it yourself. You need a Brix level of 12 or higher to keep your plants pest resistant.
Very useful information. Thanks. In india cow farming is for the same purpose
Can we compress the compost colr pith in wet condition as like 5 kg coir blocks and do transport to other place by sea. (The Sailing time will be 30 days) Please Suggest.
I am curious about the device you sell.
Curious to whether soil is needed or best for microbes, or coco hydro are also places they can live or thrive? Or can they grow in coco at all for instance?
Microbes will adhere to cocoa.

Dr. Laura Ingahm knows. Phd.
I am using around 25% sugar and 75% water spray for my magic mushrooms (Pink Buffalo) spawn grains which is mixed with regular outside soil.
Use unsulphered molasses as a sugar source. Much better than table sugar.
@@coolnout3765 Is unsulphered molasses a type of sugar? I thought there was only one molecular structure of sugar ??? No luck with outdoor soil and spawn grains. I am now using vermiculite and spawn grains.
I am not sure if microbes communicate soil conditions to plants, is there evidence to support this.
. I think the soil conditions determine the microbe diversity which then dictates the types of plants that might preference any one area over another. Eg lower fungus, higher pH more bacteria,.less lignin based or perennial plants?
We know we can change microbiomes through selective inputs. Not changing them persay, but activating or not what is omnipresent through subtle shifts in Redox homeostasis?
Your interpretation makes more sense...based on studies I read on Research Gate re: redox & pH homeostasis.
When "gardening personalities" (in particular) try to parrot back to viewers what they barely understand themselves, it gets terribly garbled to the point of almost sounding metaphysical.
Some soil scientists fall into that trap as well, trying to "dumb it down" for those without a solid science background.
Soil organic carbon🤔 replaces humus since that doesn’t exist but the carbon structures we were looking for
MIcrobes love unsulphered molassyes. Cheap and ready available; mix with water and apply.
She said UM like 1000 times
The microbes become "soil carbon"? Hmmmmmmmm...
Lost me, you start talking about 'brix' useless, brix is about temperature/humidity/time of day, can be hugely diffrenet at 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm. This is not science, brix is a fail, why discuss brix?
