NIt all begins and ends with carbon.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. You might as well just say Carbon because our
whole living system on planet Earth relies on it. Its at the center.
Bacteria that consume carbon are basis of what we call decay, rotting, composting
or decomposition.
Above bacteria are the micro-world of fungi, tiny spores and threads that work with
plant roots in the soil to make nutrients for the plants.
Then there are the living creatures, arthropods, which start with nearly invisible mites,
nematodes, worms and insects. There are many dozens of species found in the soil,
each with its own job to do. They are huge compared to bacteria but you still have to
look closely to see them.
This invisible food web is the basis of a strong and healthy growing system, whether
an organic garden or an aquaponics system.
