Do not fall into the narrative trap where you imagine owning an electric car or a new boiler is going to save us from climate change. We as a planet emit 130 billion tonnes of carbon a year. We draw down 120 billion tonnes through existing biological systems such as trees, plants, and microbes. This… Read more »
The imaginary phosphorous crisis
We at Better Organix know a simple truth, there is plenty of phosphorous (P) in the world, we do not need to continually add it, rather we need to be better at getting it from the abundant fixed pools all around us, in to the active and soluble systems, where we can benefit from its… Read more »

Sand is soil in its most basic form. It is the largest and heaviest of soil particle bases. It is naturally occurring,… Read more »
What is Clay? – Soil pt. 4
Often seen as a complex component of soils for growers, at a very basic level clays are essentially little bits of rock and minerals/silicates. Unlike the previous two major components of the worlds’ soils, clay contains a slight electrical charge, we will discuss the possible fallouts and benefits of this as we progress this blog.… Read more »
Preparing Water for Microbes
