That is not always great in pots. The microbes will consume the nutrients and water. Sometimes they can form a mat on the surface and cause water repellence. They may start to break down the wood waste and organic components in the pot mix causing shrinkage. You need beneficial microbes in pot mix, but not to dominate it. You may need to inspect the surface of pots for matting.
