Diego, you ask really good questions. Thank you.

[@patmurphy8774]

Another excellent interview! Thanks.

[@carpediemjonah8110]

Thank you for presenting a consistently high level of expertise. Your questions drill down deeply into the many concepts swirling around in the regenerative farming movement.

Things I didn't expect to learn about when i woke up: Ants vs Worms Mulching vs incorporating organic matter Tap root vs diffused root morphology + best irrigation practices

[@gchrom]

Thanks for sharing! Listening to all the talk about water&irrigation makes me wish for an episode where we'd have a hydrologist on to talk about H2O: water table height, drainage solutions, over-saturation&flooding versus drought, salinity, water PH and irrigating with well water versus municipal water etc.

Do we really need to make learning soil so difficult ?

[@pyrorc]

Really you just need to think about nutrient cycling compost

[@simonmasters3295]

The two experts are consolidating many years experience from many different farms and crops. It is always surprising to me to note my personal frustration when listening to such meta-studies because they require an effort to "follow along". Or are we suggesting PowerPoint required?

12 mins in and I can hardly bear to watch! What's wrong with these guys? Is it a language thing? Olive versus Kiwi ...

Is soil science a philosophy?... I wonder where that fits in?...
