Scorpios are known for depth, mystery, and transformation—just like the Black Walnut tree. Beneath its elegant canopy, it releases juglone, a chemical that suppresses nearby plants. Protective, powerful, and a little secretive… sound familiar?

Some trees can "talk" underground! 🌱 Using mycorrhizal networks, they share nutrients & warnings—like a leafy social network. #TreeTriviaTuesday #WoodWideWeb

🌱 Did you know autumn leaves feed underground life?
As they fall, microbes feast, fungi flourish, and soil gets a nutrient boost.
It’s nature’s compost party—and everyone’s invited.

Beneath our boots, a microbial revolution brews: scientists just uncovered hundreds of new soil bacteria—and two potential antibiotics. The dirt isn’t just alive, it’s a pharmacy-in-waiting. #SoilMicrobes #AntibioticDiscovery #MicrobialGoldmine

Drainage tip: Worms are nature’s plumbers. Invite them in with mulch and organic matter. Your garden’s not a swamp unless you want frogs. Aerate, amend, and let water flow! #LetLeaveLay #SoilFoodWeb

Did you know ! One gram of healthy soil can contain up to 10 billion microbes bacteria, fungi, archaea, and more all working together to cycle nutrients, suppress disease, and store carbon.
