In this article we will discuss the links between soil biology and plant health, as well as offer tips on how to naturally boost your plants immunity and protect your plants during Winter.Within the soil lies the operating system of your plant – also known as the Rhizosphere or root system. The easiest way to check your plants health is by assessing their root system – easy to do with hydroponic methods, however not so easy when your plant is grown in soil. 

It is vital to ensure the plants operating system is fully functional at any time of year. The plants immunity system also lies within the root system; Due to heavy feeding during the warmer months, chances are most of those synthetic inputs haven’t broken down and are still locked up within the soil structure. This leads to the plants communication pathways and immunity system to deteriorate and prevents the plants natural function, thus the ability to protect itself.

Soil biota and biodiversity are vital in supporting plant health. The key is to enable the plant the opportunity and ability to protect and shield itself from pests and disease naturally. Adding compost or manure to your soil can aid in the recovery of your soil because of the biological factors; enhancing the soils nutrient retention and balancing soil density.

If we take this practice into consideration and dig a bit further, we can start to understand the soils need for biological activity is essential to plant health.

Adding the right Beneficial Bacteria strains to your soil improves soil structure, nutrient availability, rebalances pH and boosts the plants natural immunity whilst improving the soils ability to retain moisture.

Happy Soils Heal n’ Shield has been scientifically proven to not only aid in restoring soil biology and immunity however due to the nature of SSI Technology within Happy Soils, the release of natural enzymes set off pheromones that differ and disrupt the behavioural patterns of pathogenic activity and pests.

This allows the plant to naturally fight off pathogenic activity without the use of pesticides that tend to hinder soil biology. To top that off, Heal n’ Shield has been guaranteed to fight off bad bacteria and multiply beneficial bacteria colonies only, which in the past has been quite a challenge, if not, impossible to control.
