Understanding the Living Side of Your Soil
The Soil Food Web
Biological soil testing reveals what chemistry alone cannot: the living system driving nutrient cycling, structure, and long-term resilience.
What Makes This Different
Biological testing looks at:
- microbial life
- fungal vs bacterial balance
- soil food web function
This is what drives:
- nutrient availability
- aggregation and structure
- water infiltration
- plant health
Biological Soil Testing
For understanding microbial life, biological balance, and soil food web function.
Biological testing is performed in-house, allowing for a more direct look at the living side of the soil system.
This is especially valuable when evaluating compost effectiveness, grazing recovery, biological amendments, reduced-input systems, or long-term soil health progress.
What you receive
- in-house biological soil microscopy assessment
- evaluation of microbial feeding groups and relative abundance
- interpretation of fungal:bacterial tendencies and biological balance
- report with visual findings and written interpretation notes

How This Fits Into the Bigger Picture
Soil and plant testing are most powerful when viewed together.
While biological testing focuses on the living system, many clients also use:
- soil chemistry testing
- plant sap or tissue analysis
- total nutrient digest
It is not isolating each aspect, but viewing them as an integrated whole that is most powerful. This can be done through consulting with a systems-level understanding.
Testing provides data. Consulting turns that data into decisions. For full interpretation of soil, plant, and system data…
