[00:00:00]Sourdough crusts outperform store-bought fertilizers.

[00:00:04]Many gardeners don't realize this.

[00:00:07]Synthetic fertilizers disrupt soil microbes, harming soil health.

[00:00:13]This ecosystem is essential for fertility.

[00:00:16]Sourdough crusts have wild bacteria that produce lactic acid when buried.

[00:00:22]This acid helps dissolve phosphorus for plants.

[00:00:26]Tear crusts into 5 cm pieces, mix with dry leaves or straw, and bury 20 cm deep.

[00:00:34]Space them 30-40 cm apart.

[00:00:38]In 3 weeks, mycelial threads link this material to plant roots, fixing nitrogen naturally.

[00:00:45]Soil darkens and loosens around buried crusts, enhancing root strength better than fertilizers.

[00:00:52]Use 2-3 crusts weekly to enrich a 15 square meter bed at no cost.
