Thanks gents this was one of the best posts that I have ever seen. I am clearly inspired by Craig's capacity to continually evolve his already vast horticultural knowledge base, then be able to articulate this information out into the world for the benefit of ALL! The collective urgency of mankind to amend the desecration of our natural, lifegiving soil cannot be over emphasized! Wishing you both continued great health and happiness!

If you have super sandy soil like we do in Perth, WA, then you will have to dig in plenty of organic matter, including bentonite clay particles, for a few seasons, only then can you adopt the no dig approach.

Thanks for the information. I'm in the Hunter Valley in NSW, and I have sandy soil. I'll go and buy some of bentonite.

totally agree. I made some compost tea. It looked great, but was too strong and leaves of the plant turned yellow. I mixed a cap full into 9 liters, just like seasol solution. Thank you for the advice. Dilute and dilute once again.

Question...?? Craig and Vasili!! I love to grow potatoes. The only way to harvest my crop is to dig the spuds out by turning the soil. How do we grow and harvest spuds with out destroying the mycelium network?

well done gents , its great your talking about & recognising the life in the soil , remember folks all the things these guys spoke about will happen naturally , we , humans , don't need to do anything apart from get out of the ...... way , keep in mind though , as humans we can tap into this natural system ( Bio Hacking ) to encourage soil / plant health , which in my opinion starts with moisture moisture moisture , inconsistent moisture does not promote healthy soil life , find a way to keep your soil moist , not wet , moist , all soil life needs that moisture to survive & prosper , to retain moisture we use mulching which is good but living mulch (plants ) is better , all plants attract microorganisms to their root systems = more plant diversity = more soil life diversity , i disagree you need a stimulant to germinate seeds , you just need a healthy moist biologically active soil & seeds will take care of themselves , of cause you might choose to germinate seeds in a container rather than in the plants final growing position , the same rule applies , use biologically active soil but in this situation you've taken a seed out of a natural environment so using a stimulant ( bio hacking ) could be beneficial to germination , i agree with Craig foliar spraying is the best place to use these bottled stimulants , i can't recommend using Aloe Vera in this way enough , we can also use things like fresh green coconut water for the cytokinins as a stimulant , a coconut is one of the biggest seeds on the planet , the water trapped inside the seed has all the ingredients needed for a coconut to germinate a healthy seedling , we can utilize this water for other plants , lots to talk about like the difference between compost tea making & compost extract making , two different things made from the same material , one you foliar spray because of the production of glomalin ( tea ) & one you soil drench ( extract ) , anyway well done gents look forward to your next installment

Thanks Martin for offering some very useful addendums to what was an absolutely brilliant post on soil ,,,, the critically endangered SOURCE OF ALL LIFE !!! As you say, we just need to get right back to basics and let nature do what it has evolved over the millennia! We as humans have tried to be too clever in MANipulating the natural order of things to " IMPROVE" what we think will benefit humans. Science and technology have made profound changes and benefits, BUT in reality through greed and self interest we have [ and still do!] made a mess of many of the natural orders within the earths ecosystems. Craig is a very special person. His ability to constantly review and educate himself is such an important trait ...... even though he is extremely knowledgeable in horticulture, Craig can process upgrades to his knowledge base AND communicate them to the population, to the benefit of ALL in the natural world. As Craig and you do, I also continually seek out natural ways to garden, that will provide the long term best outcomes for our precious environment.

With this in mind, how do I deal with heavy compacted clay soil. Do I till once or just layer on top?

@eddieable 8 ай бұрын

When you say dont throw away green waste, and compost it, are you referring to things like leaves and grass clippings?

@sofiamiliaressis5403 Жыл бұрын

Would mushroom compost be the better compost?

I had no idea Chemical fertilizers were this bad, I was complete organic until last winter where I saw people say all chemical fertilizers do is build up salts. I purchased some 20-20-20 water soluble from America on eBay and used it for potted plants, and also some trees. What should I do with it if I don't want to use it anymore.
