How microbes work in your garden

Microscopic microbes in their billions determine the entire natural cycle of life.

They break down organic matter into the building blocks of life, making them available for rebirth and regrowth.

We have lost microbial bio-diversity in soil through overuse of chemical fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides. Even if you own a small patch of soil, you can do something big with it. It is time to rebalance soil biology for our health, and for the health of the planet.

Every plant has a microbiome

Every plant has a microbiome – just as we do – centred in its roots, within the rhizosphere. This community of microbes sources nutrients for the plant from the surrounding soil, according to plant signals in the form of exudate sugars. Microbes also attract earthworms, a key marker for soil health because they integrate organic matter and benefit soil structure.

It all starts from the ground up.

Adding positive microbes to your soil is easy. You can dilute any of our wide range of liquid garden products in a watering can or sprayer. One liter of microbz soil conditioner, for instance, makes 10 liters of liquid magic.

Meet Sue - microbz founder and gardening expert

By passion and profession, Sue is the gardening expert within the microbz team. Her garden is her happy place and it’s where you’re most likely to find her.

Inspired by her father, Sue has a lifelong passion for gardening. She completed a Higher Diploma in Horticulture at Lackham College in 1995 and is a member of Bremhill Vales Farming Group, a local farming cluster.

But her real expertise is self-taught. It comes from the many hours that she’s spent creating her own garden - reading, exchanging ideas with fellow enthusiasts and importantly testing, learning and watching her own ideas grow.

When Sue and Jeff arrived at Naish House more than 20 years ago it was a horticultural desert. Under Sue’s direction they’ve transformed it into a rich landscape complete with a stunning pond, wildflower meadow, vegetable patch and orchard all grown using microbes.

natural garden faq's

Are your garden products safe to use on my vegetable patch?

Yes. The microbes will help to keep your soil fertile and help your vegetables grow. The products are 100% natural and completely safe – you don’t need to wait before harvesting and eating.

Can I use your garden products on my potted plants?

Yes. Plant Boost and Soil Conditioner are both good for potted plants. Use Soil Conditioner as you re-pot plants to give them an added boost of beneficial microbes.

Are any of your products fertilisers or do I have to apply those as well?

Microbz Soil will, when applied, increase the fertility of your soil because it is a natural product with no negative effects. We would recommend that you do not use any chemical fertilisers.

How do microbes work in the soil?

One gram of soil contains anywhere from a few hundred million to several billion microorganisms.

Microbes are fundamental to help the ecosystem function by breaking down organic substances and circulating nutrients. When the quantity of healthy microbes in the soil decreases or the balance is disrupted, other living things such as earthworms are negatively affected and the soil can become impoverished.

The diversity of microbes contained in our products will increase the number and diversity of microbes in the soil. When they are activated, protozoans and larger organisms such as worms will increase in number and a healthier ecosystem will result. Soil with diversified microflora will inhibit the growth of specific disease-causing bacteria, which helps prevent plant loss.

How do microbes help plants?

Microbes boost plant growth, plant quality and soil fertility because they balance the environment and deliver nutrients to plants. They stimulate decomposition and fermentation which helps rotting, so that less energy is lost. Soil that is rich in beneficial microbes produces productive plants, suppresses illnesses and produces high-quality yields.

Is there any evidence to show microbes work in the garden?

There is scientific evidence to indicate that microbial cultures can suppress soil-borne pathogens, accelerate the decomposition of compost, increase the availability of mineral nutrients and useful organic compounds to plants, enhance the activities of beneficial, indigenous microbes, fix atmospheric nitrogen, and reduce the need for chemical fertilisers and pesticides.
