Hello Staff,

Thank you for your hard work,
I continue to expand in areas of which to grow and learn about using this site.

However I have studying Bacteria, And am amazed by the usefulness of soil bacteria, from Methanogenic bacteria, nitrifying, bacteria that has anti biotic properties,
Anti fungal,

As bacteria makes up 90 percent of carbon mass of living things in the earth, should they not have there own section in soils.

Bacteria are awesome, I want to learn so much more and it would be helpful for me to have a good spot to learn from others and share.

Maybe protozoa, nematodes, actinomycetes could have there own sections in growies as well.

Or maybe its time to make soils it own topic all together and move away from growies,

I mean its at least worth thinking about!

Thank you for your time,

Alex

Interesting thought Alex!  What would you think about a forum titled “Microbes”?  This would include bacteria, Protozoa and the like.

To me, this would fall under the category of the Soil Forum:

https://permies.com/f/120/soil

Soil is made up of tons of bacteria and microbes.

The microbes in soil are the bacteria, then in decreasing numerical order by the actinomycetes, the fungi, soil algae and soil protozoa.
