Your plants’ roots are like buried treasure when you discover how easy it is to maximize their function and to achieve optimum harvests. You take care of your roots by utilising their ability to form symbiotic relationships with beneficial fungi and bacteria. These relationships help your roots intake nutrients. Beneficial microbes break down old root material, and provide nutrition. On top of that, microbes provide aeration so oxygen can reach further to penetrate more into roots. They also capture nitrogen and help make phosphorus more available, which you are aware of as essential, major nutrients for your plants.
