[@karunamayiholisticinc]

Scientists should embrace soil health as an overarching principle that contributes to sustainability goals, rather than only a property to measure. That's amazing! This is exactly what I said yesterday that human health should not be manipulated by statistical numbers alone observed but actual observation of nature. Same for soil health it goes, to truly observe the soil, the life it prospers beneath and abundance it has is so much more important than just arbitrary numbers. I am glad soil food web is teaching us about the soil and turning us to into true observer of mother nature.

[@wildheartapothecary]

Watching the replay.... I love your work.. Im from Australia.... The sunny Gold Coast.... I am trying to grow my own and desperate for soil health so I dont need to reply on the supermarket for my produce and would love to connect with other farmers so we can swap/share and sell to each other. Bring back the old ways and stop supporting the bigger chains.

[@zackhapa6768]

Let’s share info. I’m just a small time gardener. To get microbiology into your soil start with a anaerobic compost tea just get any plant around you and stick it inside water and let it sit. Don’t do the typical way with a bubbler it doesn’t fill the soil with proper microbes it’s a myth most believe and just a way for corporations to make money from you

We get right at 59 inches of rainfall a year. Yet we still going thru droughts. All because of compaction and hard to keep organics in the soil with all the rainfall I will put in what grasses I can to get back something on the soil. It is bare right now.

[@bennoah1673]

Soil is essential to good health, you should grow your own food for a well balanced life. Growing your food will make you thankful, peaceful, and physically healthy. We are connected to the land and inseparable, without it we die. Imagine that the land you garden was gardened by your ancestors for hundreds of years, that the soil you walk on was walked by your great grandfather and grandmother, what an awesome feeling! Taught to love and respect the land. Next time you are in the garden take your shoes off and meet your grandparents, because what you feel on the soles of your feet is what they felt. This is our inheritance, don’t squander it.

I am looking to convert sandy clay soil in an Arid location (New Mexico). I am wanting to go through the painstaking process and wanting to know how to do something that builds nutrients very deep. I have found one Rear Tiller that will go 14" deep and would be willing to clear and do it again for an even deeper run. When my wife grew up (we are in our late 50') there was plenty of black dirt but being in a windy arid environment and lack of land management (over grazing of cattle in an area that shouldn't have them). I want to rebuild from deep down so that we can prep it for many, many years to come. I am going to first start with the yard and putting grass to provide "bugs" for some chickens and a llama. I want to know if you dig deep and put in clay healing supplements, nanoclay, and Biochar as a base layer. Are there any additional items that would be used as fuel for future growth? Next question is if you put in a layer which would be a mixture of Biochar (near 1:1 mix), micro nutrient additives, and local soil, at what weight can you compact the soil without completely negate what your trying to do but still replace the natural compaction of the land? Example would a push roller such as an approximately 250lb water filled roller be heavy enough or would it be acceptable to use a Tow-Behind Poly Lawn Roller at 690 Lbs.? Finally, what would be the preferred supplements, microbes, fungi to add to soil at the bottom and through out the layers?

im trying to start a veggie & herb garden this year in my yard and haven't really learned enough yet (doing is more fun than learning haha), but my soil is pretty compacted and lifeless for the most part, and ive dug one plot about 2 feet down and im throwing in cut up whole bananas & grass, twigs & leaves, and also whatever worms/other insects i can find in a smaller concentrated area to hopefully propegate the insect population im mostly just going on intuition and trying to feed as much life on as many levels as i can in the soil would it be wise to cut up & throw some raw garlic cloves down there as well? (i bought some for that purpose but raw garlic is potent, and im not sure if it will just be toxic to insects or something and kill them off haha) would it be wise to use even more banana for even more microbial life to proliferate? (i bought 8 bunches for a roughly 2x3x5 foot volume, but part of me wants to double or triple it honestly haha) im also lightly watering/misting every layer that goes in also wondering if i should cut up the bananas and let them rot a bit first before throwing them in or maybe letting them sit in the sun to absorb sunlight as well haha there's so many possibilities and i just dont know enough about any of it

Yep, those black plastic modular units, and the domestic worm farm stacks, start the mod unit, after 6 months, harvest from the bottom, begin the worm bins, then add kitchen scraps to the worm bin, freeze scraps if you generae excess, and to breakdown the cells

[@RetroWolf934]

[@ppss.6302]

There is nothing rapid about it. It can be done on a small scale by trucking biomass and inputs from elsewhere for a number of years. Rinse and repeat to maintain production. One needs uncultivated lands to rob of their biomass to practice this approach, or just truck biomass from the industrial fields. Still makes sense for a health conscious family willing to work, however there is just no way to scale it up. Impossible.
