mycelium, which is the thread-like part of fungi, is crucial for soil and plant health.
🍄 it helps improve the soil’s structure, making it better at holding water and letting air in, which plants need to grow
🍄 it also forms partnerships with plant roots, helping them absorb vital nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen
healthy, robust, and undisturbed systems of mycelium are key in improving the health of our soil. this relationship between soil, mycelium, and plant life makes plants stronger against diseases and tough conditions, while also keeping the soil rich and healthy by breaking down organic material 🪱
our goal is to create healthier soil & healthier people through diverting urban food waste from landfills and into the hands of small farms with compost systems. more to come. | Posted on 01/Aug/2024 23:40:24
