Soil Declutter: The Soil Microbe Song

Plants don’t grow in dirt—they grow in soil! But what makes soil so special? It’s more than just teeny tiny rocks—it’s ALIVE! Join Macheeb, Dr. Prof Hoo-Man Root, and Princess Nibebi as they journey through a magical forest and meet a rapping, singing crew of soil microbes. Together, they’ll uncover the secret life beneath our feet and learn how these tiny organisms keep our world growing. We hope you'll share this video with children of all ages. Coming soon: The Soil Declutter Zine, coloring pages, and multi-media curriculum.
