You said this with such confidence I had to look this up, because I am quite familiar with the types of plants referred to as “nitrogen fixing plants” such as legumes. But here’s the answer for anyone else curious: “Nitrogen fixing plants don't pull nitrogen from the air on their own. They actually need help from a common bacteria called Rhizobium. The bacteria infects legume plants such as peas and beans and uses the plant to help it draw nitrogen from the air. The bacteria converts this nitrogen gas and stores it in the roots of the plant.” https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertiliz... |
