I have watched almost all videos multiple times to get detailed information about soil biology. Gratitude for a contribution on environmental awareness.
I’ve been gardening for about 45 years. When I retired several years ago I wanted to learn something new and discovered soil Biology. This series is excellent! Octavia, your soft voice, your clear and understandable explanations make it so easy to listen to and understand. Thank you and your 59 degree crew.
Everett McDonald thank you very much for your lovely comment! Firstly, great to hear about your passion for gardening! And well done for your journey of exploration into this subject. Keep going! We’ll try and post more videos soon.
You need to send some of your videos to the discovery channel. This is presented wonderfully for kids to understand and they are the ones that are going to have to deal with the mess that has been created. Adults might understand it a bit better also. Again, great work!
JIM Etzel thank you for your lovely comment. So great to hear from people who are also interested in the topic. That is a really good idea, thank you. We might be creating content for documentary style videos soon which will give us a bit more practice for future content! Thanks again for your support!
Brilliant, impressive and informative. Your presentation is awesome. Let’s not disturb the organisms in soil . This soil gives food and other essentials.By the way what are you by profession?
Interesting question, thank you! So long as we do not prevent the soil from functioning as it should, we won't destroy it, but that is easier said than done!
Jack Clark thanks so much for your wonderful comment. Unfortunately funding has been an issue, however more videos should be on their way soon! We’re always open to suggestions so if you have any ideas please do let us know :)
Apparently, the fungi feed off the roots while the roots are still alive, not dead. The roots exude glucose, produced from photosynthesis, and the fungi feed on it. That's why they now recommend to keep a living root in the ground at all times.
Thanks for your valuable comment! Yes, there are groups of fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants - the Mycorrhizal group. The plant trades valuable sugars and amino acids with the fungi in return for water and nutrients such as phosphorus. A wonderful relationship that benefits both organisms. The key point to remember is that the plant can control this relationship, depending on what its requirements are and the fungi helps to create a better soil environment for the plant. Getting plants in the soil is key for stimulating this relationship and the rest of the soil food web!
@@59degrees98 Yes, abundant evidence of incredibly intelligent design that far exceeds the capacity of the human brain and its imaginative beliefs that help us to understand our existence and how the universe got here.
Kai Stewart yes, the whole soil food web is amazingly complex and comprises so many intricate interactions. I believe that there is a lot more to be discovered though!
The algorithm suggested this and I’m glad it did. Great quality stuff
Very much love your videos. So much good information for people that want to understand what is happening underneath our feet in the soil.

Thank you very much Mam for such an amazing insight about hidden life.
Amazing video, thanks a lot, greetings from Sinaloa, Mx.
Thank you too!

So nice of you! Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment! I am a microbiologist
@@59degrees98 thanks
Good job 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
By occultation are we disturbing the soil food web? or enhancing it?
Interesting question, thank you! So long as we do not prevent the soil from functioning as it should, we won't destroy it, but that is easier said than done!
Keep going!! You should start this channel back up, this is brilliant!

Luke Jones nicely put!
Top notch, cheers
Caleb Harris thank you! Means a lot!
Bacteria also provide iron for the plants and produce antibacterial compounds to defend the plant.
