Morgan, I often appreciate the links you post. This one is particularly interesting. Makes me rethink the importance of the parts of biodynamics that are about soil bacteria.

Brady and Weil--traditional soil science text--states that plant roots are so encrusted with bacteria, that no soil-plant interaction likely occurs without some bacterial mediation. And that we have no idea what this means.
