Listening to the Soil Microbiome-Part Two.

For comparison 1 week later , August 10, I ran the same experiment on a completely cloudy day, limiting the variable of intermittent sunlight from an only partly cloud day, with slightly greater soil moisture content after a week of intermittent gentle rain..this may mean that I was measuring changes in conductivity in the water on the soil as much moisture and organism/chemistry  in the soil - to draw me to this vague conclusion the results were even less clear and random than the previous week. I remembered to do a 'reading' of the surrounding soil outside of the planter boxes for comparison too.

​


Surrounding Soil- 'Control' Sample.

Picture
Picture
A 5 minute recording  of the surface of the drier rocky soil surrounding the planter box a few feet away from mature fruit tree trunk. A fairly constant steady state but with 4 or 5 different 'pitches' occurring.

Mushroom Compost Planter Bed with thriving herb/weed vegetable foliage and roots.

Picture
Picture
5 minute recording  from the soil surface in the planter box using mushroom compost mix  with thriving herb/weed vegetable foliage and roots.  Much greater range of notes and faster changes in activity than the surrounding soil (from c2  1to just over c6 a nearly  five  octave range!)'

Bed B - BIologik VRM Soil Mix

Picture
Picture
5 minute recording in this bed with specially prepared soil mix and radishes  growing. Perhaps even more activity  recorded today than in the Mushroom compost mix. ​(from almost  c1 to  just over  c6 roughly 5 octave range!)'

Worm Farm Soil Mix

Picture
Picture
Unlike the previous week the recorded surface conductivity changes in the worm farm were not as dynamic-not as rapid changes and mostly between c2 and C5 a 3 octave range.
