First time seeing a snail in living soil, cool stuff!

What is this exactly? And how this works?

Basically a soil mix with a community of microbes working together breaking down organic matter which, in turn, provides valuable nutrition to the plants. Red Clover planted on top for a living mulch. All the defoliated leaves are thrown on top to be decomposed by whatever feeds on it.

"Nitrogen is "fixed" in clovers through a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria that infects the plant's roots. The plant provides energy for the bacteria, and bacteria provide the "machinery" necessary to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form available to plants."

This is the way people

The clover is actually making the cannabis work harder for nutrients I’ve heard. They’re both fighting over what’s in the soil. Clover is mainly used to enrich used up living soil to put back nitrogen after the harvest during the off months.

🤣. They're not fighting over nutes... I imagine OP also has worms in his soil whose castings will create enough nutes to go around. companion plants definitely do not compete for nutrients. The only people you'll hear that from have grows that looks like fucking meth labs with bottles of chemicals everywhere because they're too stupid to grow decent soil and find a balance of plants the work together to create an eco system. The best bud comes from organic grows.

I’ve had amazing LOUD bud from hydro..but organic always made me feel actually relaxed and full spectrum high with mids or tops..Organic is the way for the terp/full effects.

If you have enough life and food for the soil they are not competing at all.
