A style of cultivation using organic soil that is rich in microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and earthworms, creating a thriving ecosystem that supports plant health and natural nutrient cycling. Living soil mimics natural soil ecosystems, allowing plants to access nutrients in a sustainable and organic manner without the need for synthetic fertilizers, which is facilitated by the wide array of microbial life present in the soil. Additionally biological controls such as Predator Insects are used to protect plants from damage, rather than pesticides and chemical sprays. This method is highly valued in organic growing for the enhanced smells, flavors, shelf life, and overall quality of the cannabis plant.
