[@Promilus1984]

sure plants can thrive without living soil. Ever heard of hydroponics? Planting in rockwool? Those are quite advanced techniques giving nice results but not entirely suitable to any plant (e.g. trees). However any plant we put into soil needs microorganism to fully utilize soil resources. And while synthetic fertilizers are useful to introduce rapidly lacking elements into soil organic fertilizers have to be present as well, even if not exactly as fertilizers per se (like manure) but rich in organic matter (compost, wood chips, grass clippings etc.) Soil is like organism - synthetic fertilizers are like vitamin supplements. You can't really live only on supplements. Soil cannot live only on synthetic fertilizers. We do have bacteria inside us which are helpful, just like soil. If they are not there due to chemotherapy, irradiation or antibiotics we have to repopulate them. Same goes for soil. It's hard to maintain balance as it is delicate thing but it's absolutely stupid to just spam synthetic fertilizers and kill soil life. In a long run all you will get is a degraded soil incapable of producing decent harvest.

[@jcon7734]

Really, it is saprophytic fungi that are the true soil improvers, they initially break dead matter down into the constituent parts usable by bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi. That said, the whole cycle is dependent upon each contributing part, whether its plant roots, mycorrhizae, actinomycetes, saprophytic fungi or small invertebrates, each plays a part in the natural system.

[@CherylHillier]

A really good explanation to be shared widely... if you don't understand why we have to support regenerative growing methods and change how we grow and what we eat after seeing this, there is no hope. That symbiotic relationship the plants have with the soil biome is as special as our own symbiotic relationship with our gut biome - you can't have one without the other - the plant is completely dependent on it for health and so are we.

[@virginiarichter8200]

Excellent film with spectacular videos showing growth and interaction with the mycorrhizal fungi. I think though that there is really more to it. Superficial tilling may be needed the first year but never after that. Plants allow soil to be built because they feed the AMF (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi). The AMF produce glomulin which protects the roots and forms aggregates to hold water, nutrients, SOM (soil organic matter) and soil life. The soil food web (Elaine Ingham) is more complicated and even more fascinating as the bacteria and fungi are eaten by the nematodes, who are eaten by protozoa, who are eaten by microarthropods...and on and on. Everybody is eating everybody else and in the process, creating the building blocks brought to the root by the AMF. Biodiversity, soil covered at all times and no-till are the 3 basic principles of regenerative agriculture. Perhaps their were other crops growing near the strawberries, but all the audience could see was monoculture. Loved your video. Virginia Richter, Soil Activist

They FORGOT to tell soimething: the soil become barren because stupid farmers do not BACK organic matter to it! So sand start to dominate...over the humic acids.

[@trizz8879]

I was waiting for him to say add the fungi to the hole you dig before planting. I will hold off from fertilizer after watching. I am in Florida and when I mixed potting soil, manure and peat I got root rot on wet years so I started planting directly in sand and have had my greatest success. But after watching I believe the places I've had former plants do better and I do not dig the roots up after the plant dies I just cut from stem at ground level. I used sunflowers for this. You can tell the difference when digging in other places as the sand is compact and not much organic matter.

[@melissakennedy3123]

Apologies Bob Lee the proper term is mycorestoration. It's an umbrella concept including the selective use of fungi/mycelia for Mycoforestry, Mycofiltration, Mycoremediation, & Mycopesticides. Mycoforestry uses mycelium and mushrooms to enhance forest health, Mycofiltration uses mycelium to catch and reduce silt & upstream contaminants. Mycoremediation neutralizes toxins. Mycopesticides refers to the use of mycelium/fungi to help influence & control pest problems. Again a lot more on this if you lookup Paul Stamets... Or his book Mycelium Running. Hope this clears any confusion.

[@chor2336]

I think potted plants usually don't require so much minerals to produce fruits/eatable plants, as most of them don't produce those.

[@DeanTheDoctor]

Potted plants will benefit just as much from soil amendments. Always replenish nutrients with Organic if your able. This will give our plants the best mineral profiles, tolerance to disease, and a great head start. Something as simple as adding small amounts of sourced shredded leaves/ weeds, or compost is a great to get nutrition to our plants, and it doesn't cost much either. An additional step to increase the trace minerals would be to add a few pinches of sea salt to a gallon of water and to premix potting soils with kelp. This'll make for some really tasty plants and some great tasting food! = ) 🌱🌎
