'Tracking nematode in my soil. Appears to be full of eaten bacteria. @1:58 video capture a nematode that seems to, all the sudden, straighten-out and enter a dormant or sleep state.  It\'s my understanding: bacteria eat minerals and other nutrients and then, the nematodes and other larger soil predators eat the bacteria which releases the minerals into a soluble form the plants can use. All part of the Soil Food Web.'
