Stories from underground — soil science, Soil Rangers updates, classroom ideas, and research round-ups.
When you scoop up a handful of garden soil, you're holding a metropolis. Bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, earthworms — billions of organisms with complex relationships, communication systems, and even something like memory. Here's what modern science is discovering about the civilisation beneath our feet.
Earthworms are extraordinary engineers. Here's why Darwin called them "the most important animals in the world."
How we worked with mycorrhizal fungi researchers to get Mykie's story scientifically right.
Quick, low-preparation soil activities for busy teachers. All tested in real classrooms.
A three-year study shows regenerative agriculture practices can significantly restore depleted soil carbon.
Dark, light, red, grey — the colour of your soil reveals its history, composition, and health.
Meet Wriggles, Mykie, Cater and the gang — how we designed each character to represent real soil organisms.
