The Jena biodiversity experiment found best results with at least 4 different plant families in terms of rapidly improving soil health. In addition there are various plants such as buckwheat which have been shown to unlock soil P. The key is to increase the number of microbes capable of making P available by feeding them with the root exudates from plant diversity. Dr Christine Jones has an excellent presentation called the Phosphorus Paradox on KZbin

15:30 Seeds bring the plant microbiome with them

I live in Ireland and Christine is spot on about the nitrate issues in our water ways. Unfortunately not enough farmers have adopted this pro and Irelands largest lake turned to green algae sludge this year as a result

Incredible results from a prolific body of work!

We are learning to use epiflurescence microscopy to and soon we hope to learn basic DNA sequencing with online course with matt powers he is very good, very exciting project

We are approaching 500 bioreactors done since last October we have modified the design a little bit after the 100 first one, we need to replenish one third of the reactor every month now we refill it with kelp the biologic dynamic seem to increase after adding kelp mix first we added 40 lb of fresh kelp but rapidly switch to 20 lb.reactors eat like babies, we are planning to make 1000 reactors we add biochar as well and we use anecic worms not compost worms as they work vertically, huge difference we add basalt as well as manure we are reducing row manure now, by June we will focus on liquid cow manure, since May we work outside and letting reactors outside for summer exposed to elements, we learn everyday we always start with em1 and we water with worm casting tea

Crisp and clear explanation, thank you 🙏🙏👍👍👍🎉🎉

Thanks so much for this information. Would it be possible to get a pdf of the recipes spoken about . Maybe you could put it in the description or can I email someone for them . Much appreciated 😊

Tillage on a grand scale began ~150 years ago. That: 1.) Liberated more CO2 from 1850 to 1950 than all the CO2 from Fossil Fuels. It also reduced the RAINWATER HOLDING CAPACITY from ~6" per hour to only 1/2" per hour. That makes croplands up to 8° warmer on hot days.... that's more warming (on a Continental Scale) than CO2 is capable of by itself (which is ~0.7° C). Soil Regeneration....FIXES BOTH the Rainwater Capture (and holding) problem AND the CO2 problem. It also preserves and BUILDS Topsoil.

Great explanation

Very helpful thanks. Does anybody know if I can mix Calcium Nitrate and Citric Acid?

Has anyone fertigated the extract?

Worth every minute! Would love for her to go on and on and on. Such a wealth of practical knowledge. Thank you Dr. Jones and your host.

He looks like Mr. Beast let’s call him the Nitrogen Beast! 👍👍

Great talk! Thx

For the last 80 years or so, western farmers have been pumping our national resource of organic carbon into the atmosphere and now it's there available for anyone to capture. Any other country, friend or foe. There's gold in that their bio reactor, free land there for the taking.

👍

where can I find information about sap analyse by nutrients?

If only we could find microbes that could make gold then we would just buy the food we need.

Better check out the soilfoodweb with Elaine Ingham for an explanation of the nitrogen cycle that doesn’t need fertilizers.

👍👍👍👍👍👊

Great stuff here 👍👍👍👍👍👊

@Earl's Qu @1:30:00, I use an organic registered sulphur based fungicide & gypsum separately (calcium sulphate) without burn on vine leaves via foliar.

Such a clear and concise communicator.

👍👍👍👍👍👊

thank you!!

Muy dog was barking because your cat was meowing! lol

Oh my gosh this is such a great talk thank you so much. So clear and useful. I have been searching for the links between wild plants and their environment for years (mainly urban street plants) and it is research like this which is starting to shine a new light on a very important change we must make to our attitude to plants. Fantastic thank you. ❤

"Especially the burning of 'fossil' fuels" is a boon to earth's plant life. Furthermore, it has nothing to do with imaginary "climate change caused by human activity." The control freaks have you conned.

👍👍👍👍👍👊

👍👍👍👍👍👊

👍👍👍👍👍👊

This is the pinnacle abstract presentation that gathers every legit knowledge we know today on soil health. This is like the strangest secret talk of earl nightingale. So I’ll listen to this many times in future to hammer it within my mind.👍🏻👌🏻🍀🧐🥸👏🏻🌞🍀❤️

“Is it functioning?”😊❤

If you're coming off of a chemical fertilizer system and want to transition to BEAM, is it optimal to cut chemical fertilizer cold turkey or do you have to wean the lands off of fertilizers slowly over a few years? Not sure if it's possible to contact Dr. Johnson directly or someone familiar with this method to find out how to implement this properly?

Please do some recommendations (checklist) to make these nice things applicable for Ukraine, thanks!

Some labels on the photos would have helped. I know Jade described the difference in the audio, but visually having labels would help to easily compare and understand.

The more we can get eco types into this the better. The ecosystem building potential is incredible.

One thing that I would love to see is to compare biomass productivity between a man sown cover crop, and just letting nature do its thing. Because now in France, some farm actually let their soil grow what nature grows during periods where they're not growing anything, and they report they have even more biomass than with multi family cover crops. Because, as we know, soil has millions of native seeds in it, that only wait for the right conditions to germinate. If you soil is compacted, eroded, poor, water logged, only a few species that tolerate these conditions will grow, and the next year, after that issue is fixed by those plants, it'll be more diverse. And so on. Plus since those are native species, they grow faster and give more biomass. And it doesn't cost you a thing. Has Jena done that comparison or are they planning to do it ? It's nothing more than fallow land, but over 6 months. Centuries ago, farmers would till a field to weed it and release nutrients, do one crop, then leave that field as fallow land for 2 to 3 years so it would recover. They KNEW the soil needed to recover.

How can I get a copy of the prints?

great talk, I have Canada Thistle growing at the start of a septic drain field, so I will be trying this as soon as our snow melts.

😮 I was confused, John Kempf said that one important part of regenerative agriculture is to do seed treatment by covering the seeds with a variety of complete microbiologies, for example from compost tea or leaf mold soil or from the forest floor or Johnson su bio reactor etc., but Dr. Jones said since sprout seed only uses its default microbiology...

Ia it possible to get the printed information that accompanied this presentation?

Since Bill Gates is the largest private landowner in the country, surprised the Gates Foundation isn't strongly supportive. Gates is known for deep-dives into the science behind his philanthropy, so it makes me wonder what he sees (or doesn't see) that keeps him from funding Johnson's research.

Greenhouse growers emulate past CO2 levels for plant growth. They inject CO2 at a level of 1,100 ppm into the greenhouse. The planet was at its greenest at around 2,000ppm CO2. Go check out the PaleoClimate records. I have proven the Bio Reactor works at a small scale for a 1/2 acre home garden. Yields have increased immensely.

I wonder what would happen if you harvest seeds and replant where they were harvested? The combination of the epigenetics captured in harvested seed with enhanced soil biology might be of value. .

Thank you Mark. So many questions answered. I have been producing batches of Johnson Su fungal dominant compost with deciduous leaves for 5 seasons. You have helped me to understand the staying power of the finished product if it is not used immediately ... "90% of microbes are dormant".
