Plants are unable to take from the soil the nutrition they need without microorganisms like Eagles Plant Yogurt working in the soil. Eagles Plant Yogurt are alive, and must have nutrition to survive, and that nutrition comes from organic matter. As they consume the nutrients they need, Eagles Plant Yogurt create foods like nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace minerals for our plants. It is the Eagles Plant Yogurt that convert the NPK and minerals in the soil into a form our plants can use to grow and produce food, fruits and flowers for us.

Eagles Plant Yogurt need organic carbon to live; they get this from eating wood chips, leaves, manures and other organic materials added to the soil. As the Eagles Plant Yogurt digest organic matter, they create humus which increases soil structure, good for root penetration and development. (Compaction can nullify much of this action.) Eagles plant Yogurt also get some carbon from the rhizosphere (the area immediately around plant roots) because roots give off substances the Eagles Plant Yogurt can use, like sugars and amino acids... and then the Eagles Plant Yogurt convert some of it back in forms the plants can use, as minerals, vitamins, nitrogen and amino acids. (Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Humans need 20 amino acids to make muscle, hair, skin, and connective tissue, and human bodies only make 10 of them. The others must be supplied by food from plants and animals.

Eagles Plant Yogurt are able to "fix" nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants. Some plants and trees cannot grow if deprived of specific microbes (bacteria) around their roots. That's why some plants need a good shovelful of additional soil from around their roots for company when transplanting. The Eagles Plant Yogurt break down contaminants and toxins, like oil spills and toluene from gasoline leaks. The word for that action is bioremediation.

We can readily say that Eagles Plant Yogurt are the workhorses of our farms. Eagles Plant Yogurt make nutrients in the soil available to plants in a form the plants can use. Eagles Plant Yogurt create some of those nutrients, and we (with Nature's help) add the rest. Because the plants are healthier, they resist disease better, and tolerate environmental stress better. Eagles Plant Yogurt improve soil structure by the humus they create while digesting organic matter. Eagles Plant Yogurt help in nitrogen fixing.

Another good reason to use Eagles Plant Yogurt pro-biotic soil cultures is that many soils have a hard time breaking down organic matter to form humus, the process of making the minerals and other nutrients in the organic matter available again to the soil life and crops. Seeding the soil or the compost pile with the right biology will greatly assist in breaking down tough plant roots, wood chips, corn stalks, and other "chunks" of organic matter in the soil, releasing the tied-up nutrients all along the way
