Please show the pictures and graphs that she is explaining.

[@rebeccadubose2434]

With earbuds the volume is fine.

[@stuartcraner4208]

Great lecture but was disappointed that slides were not shown and volume very low. Thanks for sharing great content.

[@samanthamariah7625]

Absolutely LOVE people who describe solutions rather than just complain about problems. So informative and inspiring!!!

[@MedicallyFit]

Thank you for the Upload, I have followed Dr Ingham for many years. Every lecture is a little different.

[@simonmasters3295]

Dr Ingham 1. No route to atmosphere for phosphorus? 2. Claims of 1000% increases in yield do not cut it with highly productive farms, even if they are valid for rangelands. Better to emphasize like Abe profitability and claim a tenfold increase in profit.

[@willimacdo]

I've been looking for an explanation of healthy soil and how to get it, and I think I've found it. Thank you.

[@svetlanikolova7673]

OH YA. YOU HAVE FOUND IT , INDEED.

Please correct the problem of the very low volume because Dr. Ingham offers a lot of value and I want to learn what she is saying in this lecture !!! Thank you. 06/20/2020

add volume master extension to your browser. Volume master acts like an amplifier for web audio. Enjoy.

Excellence at its best

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Wow I didn't know that bacterias could change soil ph.I presumed was inert. That's so helpful to know .glad and pleased to have learned that I can't believe I didn't know that

[@thamho1352]

Thanks so much for sharing such an informative talk

[@patrick0connell772]

Very interesting lady learning a bit all the time from her

[@What-zb9ju]

The volume is extremely low. Is there anyway of improving the volume?

[@terryfleming8738]

Turn it up

[@simonmasters3295]

Inoculant...quality and not quantity

[@What-zb9ju]

They fixed the volume issue.. Works fine now.

[@johnsheppard8102]

i cant see the slide s but i love the desciption

[@user-hs3my9sp9o]

Turn your volume up

[@frezzgarden]

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Don't anaerobic bacteria die or get weakened when they are exposed to air?

[@mezleona]

Sound is so low, I couldn’t even play it in my TV with speakers! Totally a shame

[@svetlanikolova7673]

i am watching this on my phone while my goats are on pasture. I had to put the phone to my ear to hear her speak. It is a shame.

[@ljhnz1]

Re the very low volume: I put bluetooth headphones on with the volume turned up to maximum, that worked well (in a quiet environment) 😊

[@simonmasters3295]

I can hear it fine on half volume That's peculiar

[@1thingiscertain304]

Real pity on the camera work. This is a great synopsis of Ingham's teaching.

[@b_uppy]

Sound is lousy. The recording is incompatible with tablets.

[@sheldondsouza5014]

Poor audio love the podcast though

[@YayaOfEight]

Unfortunately I can’t hear this the volume is to low. 😢

[@normanjoelvargas2361]

Hello Dr. Ingham! I have been watching your videos since being hired by Sagrex Corp. here in the Philippines. The company deals with soil ameliorants and chelated foliar fertilizers. . . There are 2 major crops here, paddy rice and yellow / feed corn. For corn, zero and minimum tillage is being practiced. However in paddy rice, land preparation (as your termed it "slicing and dicing") is practiced. Can this practice be done away with? I hope you'll find time to reply. Much thanks! -norman joel vargas

[@mfarooqumar]

Study more on SRI (System of Rice Intensification) or No till raise bed farming practices. Such systems avoid standing water in paddy. Now you can combine with Elaine's composting methods, we should be growing rice in soils with Aerobic microbes. Rice is a grass which in evolution has learned to live in anaerobic standing water. It should grow well in very less water. However, start from smaller area to experiment and later apply to a larger area…

[@MrKen-longrangegrdhogeliminato]

Turn the volume up!

[@mauricecalliss1303]

That nutrient cycling requires roots in the ground from plants to have a biological cycle taking place.

[@jahsunhandy]

It's a bummer that we can't see the photos that she's explaining.

[@simonmasters3295]

Weeds thrive in high Nitrate. If N is synthesized in the bacteria associated with fungal biomass it stays as.soluble Ammoniacal N and is not useful to weeds. And the tillage to remove weeds is undesirable

[@tamasurusrex]

Yeah, sound is super low

[@magicvalleycandelariaquezo8137]

Do you have laboratory in the Philippines?

[@pitbikehype5281]

I have a compost pile. It doesn't stink but there are some flies and mosquitoes flying around the pile is this normal?

[@jahsunhandy]

Ots so disappointing to not dee yhe pictures she's showing. Please make videos eoth yhis component.

[@magicvalleycandelariaquezo8137]

Thanks for the informations,I'm highly interested implementing this technology to my farm but aeration is significant for beneficial microbes isn't it?therefore tillage is needed in the process.can we establish a process in establishing a biological farm from a perfectly damaged soil..

[@magicvalleycandelariaquezo8137]

Already got the answer after watching the video completely,and I was fascinated and thankful that there is a team working on this matter,thanks Dr.Ingham and your team.i hope your team already reached out the Philippines can you please connect me to your team hear in the Philippines so I can be part of the implementing group..thanks and more power..

Is a dead fish planted with your crop anaerobic or aerobic conditions around your plant ?

[@elibennett3034]

Well that's going to depend. Did you plant that dead fish whole, or ground up into a slurry?

[@SuperDiFil]

Is there empiric evidence how anarobic bacteria affect different mediums? Eg, wouldn’t they die off in well aerated Substrates?

[@DiegoPunchw]

by def anaerobic bac only can live in lower oxigen levels medium.

[@SuperDiFil]

@@DiegoPunchw but would they alter the medium to be less aerated?

[@mdsegara101]

Dr. Elaine’s main goal is not necessarily about restoring or recovering earth climate with all the talk about putting back carbon in to the soil to do that..the end road of about all her lectures are about to get into her online class with pricey tag..I’m not saying her lecture is not right,don’t get me wrong..it’s just that she is more to money oriented rather than concern about agriculture for saving the earth from climate change issue..

[@jacobbelfield9835]

Motivations aside, she is giving people tools to change the farming industry. The results of her work will likely improve the planet

[@K3Flyguy]

I agree building a retirement fund. Nothing wrong with that exactly, but empty promises are just that. Her works is very good but the extrapolation she makes from where she is at and what this is going to do long term is quite a stretch. Much of this is conjecture.

[@B01]

@@K3Flyguy I suggest you dive deeper into the real world results, check out Governors Island rebuild project for starters before throwing around the words "empty promises".

[@B01]

Better world is not her main goal? Funny, because I've learned far more for free from her than most learn by paying for "recognized" agricultural programs...aka ones sponsored by big ag. No thanks!!!! Elaine Ingham's courses are not impacted or affected by funds, grants, donations, partnerships, etc by big ag, and traditional universities/schools are. Big difference when you're trying to find science vs promotional material. I'd be willing to bet the vast vast vast majority of "accredited" universities don't recommend against pesticides, herbicides etc. So who wants to pay for that nonsense? When Elaine can offer the real knowledge, stuff she spent her entire life learning and battling big ag over (and was proven right the entire time), for $2-4k? All without selling a single product? Get real lmfao

[@dcg1976]

It's Doctor not Saint Elaine. Everybody needs to eat. You're getting more than lessons for the money.

So to make this info more productive humans waste is the key hmmm 🤔

[@ripudamansingh4854]

Ohk than without tillage how can we mix compost into the land.. And grow our crops is there any solution plz help me.. Bcz I am from India and without tillage growing a crop is fool thing to do in the mindset of indian farmers.. Plz help me🙏🥺

[@elibennett3034]

Amend and incorporate good compost if OM is very low. But put tea on otherwise. You can also top dress if it is a long crop. It's not about NO till. It is about MINIMIZING till.

[@B01]

@@elibennett3034 no, it's about no-till lol the only time tillage is advocated is during a reset or serious compaction issues. Then never again. Any tillage damages fungi, protozoa, nematodes. Just watch microscopy videos and you'll see it for yourself..it's not minimal, it's removal entirely

[@B01]

Think of it this way, nature doesn't till, so how does LITERALLY ANYTHING grow? Lol top dress it. And with a proper protective layer (mulch) it will break down over time. Teas are great for foliar as well

[@elibennett3034]

@@B01 do you farm? If so, do you farm every conceivable crop? Some cropping systems can be done as you say, others can not. Preparing your land for an orchard? Well, you are going to need to till in that process. Propagation of woody plant will also require tilling to some degree. That's why the expert in this video has said (if not in this video, in others I've seen) that the goal is to minimize tillage. Sometimes that is zero. In most cropping system there is at least some minimal tillage required. Please tell my what you farm. I farm trees.

[@elibennett3034]

@@B01 the point is not to replicate nature, but to work in concert with it.

[@JesseJames83]

Do we have active examples of fighting common problems with soil solutions that are easy to identify? Aka no other inputs that combat pests and molds. Please link their farms or videos, so that we can learn more about what problems they have eliminated from their environment. Thanks in advance. I believe in living soil, even though I have not been able to prove it's worth myself.

[@elibennett3034]

I don't know if "no there inputs" is the best approach. We are running a trial currently, but many of the people I know exploring microbial are doing it in conjunction with "conventional" products. Better product selection, better delivery, better timing to minimize knockback of microbes, then a rotational approach: one tea, next fungicide. A huge number of farmers incorporate rhizome fungi already. This approach seems far better, but there is still room merging the best practices available. Absolutely we need to balance our destructive techniques with remedial techniques to continually support a bountiful microbial population. But more to your point, I have applied some good tea once two years ago and the people working with those plants are still talking about it. Too bad the owner isn't working with the plants.

[@B01]

Are you asking Elaine Ingham to prove nature's existence to you!? haha...On land that hasn't been sprayed with chemicals and tilled these "common problems" are non existent 🤣 that should tell you everything you need to know about using various inputs lmao nature uses zero and does AMAZING... needing crop rotation, pests, disease, weeds all of it gone with the proper biology/good compost. You don't need studies to prove this, walk outside literally anywhere that's not a conventional agriculture farm or been messed with by mankind🤣 is the land you just walked to infested with only bad bugs? Only terrible diseases? Or are there checks and balances put in place by nature over the last 1-3 billion years which we distrupt? Lol
