I'm a backyard gardener. I started by watching Charles Dowding's gardening videos and learned to do a no dig garden. I've been slowly improving my soil by simply applying compost on the top and only cutting my crop at the base roots leaving roots in the soil. It took about 2 years but I began to watch all the diverse insects appearing in the garden. But it wasn't until I watched the presentations of the Soil food Web presentations did I understand how incredibly complex the system of growing plants is. Truly, my mind is blown. Thank you for explaining what's going on in my soil. I can enjoy my garden even more now.

My heart felt thanks. If government and corporations truly followed the observable science you have so painstakingly and clearly defined, there would be NO petrochemical pesticides and fertilizers.

[@marlan5470]

I don't know about none, but it would drastically reduce the use and our health would be better for it.

[@Zenthanol]

It is refreshing to see an ecological and empirically-rich presentation of plant health and soil food web dynamics, excellent work!

Thanks, Matt! Hope you are well! -Adrienne

Do you know the save soil movement, i think you are one of the RIGHT ONE to support it

[@CajunGreenMan]

Thank you for recognizing the value of our indigenous peoples 🙏!

So nice of you

[@johnjude2685]

Trying to absorb all and become a better Stewart of my yard and 50' X 50 ' vegetables garden that we prefer to eat from. Thanks 😊

[@katinss9983]

I'm really looking forward to this discussion

[@photosynthesoil7233]

Me too! Glad you will join us!

[@nicolasutcliffe1406]

Great and interesting presentation thank you 😊. I feel more knowledgeable about the soil and how I can help my biodiverse garden thrive.

[@rogercarroll1663]

Great work, Thank you. Graphics were very helpful.

[@M21zen]

Yay Adrienne! Wonderful stuff. ✌️👍

[@Hirouche]

thanks for sharing, good presentation,an eye opener on hidden soil life .

[@miguel5785]

Great lesson! Clear, useful and extremely relevant nowadays. Just subscribed and hopefully will learn a lot more from these presentations. Thanks a lot!

[@namoneko6994]

You were brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Been following your many webinars with Dr Ingram.

[@photosynthesoil7233]

Thank you, Nam! Your participation is brilliant, as well!

[@jorgecamachofitopatologo]

very nice and usefull presentation

[@aysen8366]

Great topic. Looking forward .to it.

[@franciscodamazio7706]

Muito bom fazer curso da Soil Food Web School.

[@toddvance4592]

Dr Adrienne, thank you for this informative presentation. I have a unique situation were I water my garden with wetlands run off . It smells like a diluted compost tea. It has a light golden color. Do you have any information on the nutrients in wetlands water? I am hoping I have a natural form of tea or inoculants.

[@willrussell1322]

Great presentation, thanks for sharing. I'd be interested to know what your take is on using diatomaceaous earth to "take care of" ants?

[@soilfoodwebschool]

Thank you for the great question! Please contact us at [e-mail] so a member of our Science Team can get back to you.

[@strictlyroots7343]

Thanks, this is great! In the slides at 34:00 I'm wondering where the carbonic anhydrase comes from that cause the creation of carbonic acid? Do the roots secrete it?

[@johnjude2685]

I'm finding I can't read the charts and I'm getting lost and failing behind, but will try again 😔

[@soilfoodwebschool]

You can pause the video on a chart you are interested in.

MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: how to stop potato beatless from eating my potato leaves??? All looks great in theory but in practice- haven't found a decent recipe yet for anything remotely successful. Please enlighten me but now with theory and drawn picture but with practical solutions.

[@Hook_88]

Thank you, Dr. Godschalx

[@Aermydach]

You guys are doing great work! ~18:00 But what about soil food web inhibition of powdery and downy mildews on grapevines? No offence but botrytis losses in grape yields are insignificant in comparison. Grape growers apply tons and tons of elemental sulphur (for powdery mildew) and elemental copper (for downy mildew). Both of these (arguably organic) chemicals can have health impacts on humans and beneficial flora and fauna. *source: studied oenology and viticulture to an undergrad level, with a keen interest in regen-ag etc.

[@middleway1885]

It would be interesting to see if scalar technology would be able to assist with the other living forms, pesky attitudes towards not knowing which plants you wouldn't mind letting them eat freely... lol, Symbiosis, using frequency to imitate the reason for the creatures to stay away... Here's to a more, aware and proactive playing energies to continue to unwind all that does not benefit oneself not others... Cheers!

Did you hear the one about the magic tractor? It turned into a field

[@redmonkey3556]

we have rain but no fungi how can we change our soil

[@soilfoodwebschool]

thank you for your question. Please contact us [e-mail] with more details and we will get back to you.

1998, you are just 4th grade?

[@medicalpanorama]

There’s a study that vegetables produced today have a steady decline supply of nutrients. The culprit is really pesticides plus chemical fertilizers - that makes sense based on your lecture. The underground world is really a “corrupted” world too according to your lecture, so.. “drains the swamp” might very well kill the plants above the ground 🤔

[@medicalpanorama]

The “compete, consume, inhibit, induce” can be simply expressed as “Check and Balance” in microorganisms or biochemistry - we need a healthy web of “corrupted” microorganisms underground according to your lecture 👈🏼

[@medicalpanorama]

I like to make a comment on your “indigenous people talk”. This is the fact you may not like to hear. You need to be extremely careful on “what to educate” or “provide advanced tools” to indigenous people....... the history has repeatedly told us, they can devastate their habitat or our shared home planet in the worst possible way once they master “some advanced knowledge or tools”. human species has so far failed horribly on a civilization scale - if we want to save our species, the “correct” education is the only way to do it. Your lecture on pesticide and soil health is part of “correct” education that should be started in 4th grader .
