Microbiomes are tiny organisms, including bacteria, fungi, yeast, and beneficial viruses, that play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
While they are vital for both soil health and the well-being of our gut flora, there is a common misconception that we get microbiomes from the soil into our bodies. Let’s debunk this widespread myth and clarify the essential functions of microbiomes in the environment and plant nutrition.
Microbiomes in Soil: The Engine Behind Plant Nutrition
The soil is home to a complex network of microorganisms, often referred to as microbiomes. These tiny organisms work tirelessly to break down organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, into inorganic minerals and trace elements. This process, called mineralization, is key to producing the nutrients that plants require to thrive.
For example, microbiomes release nitrogen (atmospheric), phosphorus, potassium, trace minerals and selenium, along with a whole range of other minerals like Manganese, Sulphur and Magnesium along with many many others—crucial nutrients that plants depend on for healthy growth.
Mycorrhizal fungi, a specific type of microorganism, form symbiotic relationships with plants, improving their ability to absorb nutrients at the root level.
Additionally, certain bacteria, known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria, convert atmospheric nitrogen into a mineral form that plants can easily use as made bioavailable.
How Microbiomes Protect Plants
In addition to nutrient conversion, some microbes protect plants from harmful organisms and diseases. This makes microbiomes a natural defense system in the soil, ensuring that plants can grow strong and healthy without the need for synthetic chemicals. In fact, synthetic chemicals are a problem - here is why...
There are two parts of the plant -
the 'drinking' structure and the 'eating' structure.
When water-soluble inputs are added to plants and soil it is absorbed in the 'drinking' structure of the plant which makes it sick, and tired. It is an artificial boost steroid and forces the plant uptake and that makes the plant vulnerable to insects. Hence, when one sees a dead animal on the road it is covered in insects - that is the insects job to clean up the sick and dying.
So plants that become sick will have insects on the plant/s and the most likely the soil is compacted, dried our or baked hard. This means there is no life going on within the soil sphere.
Microbes unlock the nutrients in the soil, rehabilitate the soil with nano holes (restructuring, fluctuation) which absorb and hold water (percolation), break down the minerals for the plants 'eating' structure to absorb as the plant requires. No forced input.
Therefore the plant is insect resistant, makes sugar for the microbes from the thick dense and strong root structure which feeds the microbes, and in a symbiotic relationship opens the smorgasbord of nutrients bioavailable for the plant. This is the natural way of Mother Nature.
Earthfood is a superfood, probiotic for all plants and powered by the mighty living microbes. Here are some in the "Rainforest in a Bottle":
Rhizobium Bacteria: vital symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, meaning the plant helps them with food and shelter and in return they provide the plant with much needed nitrogen. No need to add chemicals or mined nitrogen in bought fertilisers.
Azotobacterial Bacteria: protects the roots from pathogens present in the soil. No need to use all the chemicals from the hardware store when the immunity is inbuilt with the microbes. No pesticides and plant disease sprays required with regular use.
Mycorrhizal Fungi: the independent gut of the plant. Once connected to the plants root system it mines and delivers, often out of reach, minerals, water, and other nutrients into the plants metabolic process. Saves 70% water usage!
Bacillus Bacteria: capable of inhibiting plant disease caused by protest pathogen. Creates healthy pest resistant plants! No herbicides required.
So observation here that the cost of a garden or growing is decreasing with a short period of time. However, the third party trials reveal in their reports (and users all know this) that there is an increase of 40% in harvest, bloom, lush and weight - for a farmer that is money increased return on investment.
How do you know what is in the bottle is not dead and just expensive water?????
All the batches are tested by a third party. And, the label should read what it represents. In Earthfood's case we stand behind the USDA and OMRI Certification of being 100% Organic in USA; Eco-Cert in Europe; Southern Cross 100% Certified Organic and Australian Organic Standards Certified.
On top of this there is an International Harmony Code for export to approximately 87 countries in the world, and has Regener8 and Carbon8 standards.
Earthfood is Vegan Friendly because it is not made with animal manure.
Only get the original and no imitators as no-one has this level of commercial confidence, knowledge and capabilities under the unique processing of making this a living product which holds true for 10 years+.
No better way than spraying on the leaves and let Mother Nature do her thing and so perfect for the lazy gardeners, including brown and green thumbs.
Living microbes are the solution to problems we are facing in today's world whether it be gut and brain health, food production, pesky pests like fire ants and insects in the gardens/farms, pesky weeds and vines destroying whole landscapes - this is all because the living microbe is no longer there and Mother Nature is doing her best under decades of destruction and even now the chemical sprays are still going strong.
It is a business model and unfortunately many are making money out of the destruction. Few are making money in the repair because of the narrative of deceit.
As living occupants on the planet we must do our duty and replace the living microbe back into nature, in yards, in regions, on farms. We are at a tipping point.
