Message: [QUOTE="DirtMechanic, post: 148978, member: 5568"] Bacteria eat the sugar. fungi eat bacteria. You grow a biomass basically. Both bacteria and fungi are capable of growing hyphae (root) and this will bring up moisture from deep in the soil. It all happens in the top few inches of soil where oxygen can be involved. You probably want to add amino acids (proteins) in the form of organic fertilizer or even soybean meal. The bugs make their bodies out of amino acids. Micro nutrients wont hurt either. The phrase "feed the soil" means basically anything you would eat except you eat too much salt. [/QUOTE]
