Apparently, plants take bacteria in through their roots and digest them for the nutrients. One study I read showed that it would eat e.coli bacteria. That explains a lot in aquaponics and the benefits of these so called worm or compost teas!

I also saw another study that showed plants will uptake urea. We knew that plants would take in ammonia directly and of course nitrate, but urea too? That's amazing!

Thoughts? If you guys don't start posting more I am going to stop posting all this weird stuff I find!!!
