@Montreal Great Post 😉

@Miradji1000 In northern forests (no worms since Ice Age), they eat litter too fast → poor soil, hurts native plants.
In gardens/farms: usually helpful.
Context + species matter!

🌱 Did you know that out of 29 species of earthworms found in Canada, 19 have been imported and are disrupting our ecosystems?
Adopt the true allies of life! 🐛❌🦠✅

@Miradji1000 Hey! No evil plot 🌱
Invasive earthworms (esp. Asian jumping worms) arrived accidentally from Europe/Asia (1600s–1900s) via ship ballast, plants, fishing bait & shared compost. Unintended side effect of trade/human movement.

🙋❓Questions sur le sujet de la semaine :
- Comment appelle-t-on les différentes couches du sol ?
- L’humus c’est quoi ?
- Quelles créatures permettent de décomposer les matières organiques présentent dans l’humus ?

Pourquoi l’humus est-il vital ?
Parce qu’il retient l’eau, les nutriments, et protège le sol.
Et qui aide à le créer ?
🐛 Pas les vers envahissants, mais nos collemboles locaux !

Living soil is more than just earth.
It's a layered ecosystem, with humus at the top.
Springtails activate the O horizon and contribute to biodiversity.
🌾 Give your plants a real home!

@CIFOR_ICRAF Great initiative !
You right !
''The importance of humus in human economy seldom receives sufficient emphasis. Suffice to say that it probably represents the most important source of human wealth on this planet.''

No humus without decomposers!
SoilMinions are 100 % Canadian live springtails.💚
Add them to your soil or compost to naturally complement the existing fauna.

🧑‍🌾 L’humus, c’est l’or noir du sol !
Mais il ne se forme pas sans une vie microscopique active.
Les SoilMinions sont des collemboles vivants 100 % canadiens.
Ajoutez-les à votre sol ou compost pour compléter naturellement la faune déjà présente.

Les sols ont des horizons : O, A, B…
C’est dans l’horizon O (couche superficielle) que tout commence.
Les collemboles SoilMinions sont des organismes vivants 100 % canadiens.
Ajoutez-les à votre sol pour compléter naturellement la faune déjà présente.

🌱 The different layers that make up the soil are called ‘Horizons’. Humus is one of the first upper layers of the soil we walk on; it is rich in organic matter and teeming with life. Dead soil no longer contains humus.
