        Here’s a nitrogen cycle diagram. It’s not dissimilar to things like the water cycle or food chain cycle.

        Practically speaking, you want to occasionally plant nitrogen fixing plants in your garden, as other plants will remove it from the soil. Lots of people will put tons of fertilizer into their garden, and that seeks to achieve similar goals.
