[@myhanslombard]

My yield went up 85% in 14 months(bananas). This is the best way of farming.

Awesome 🌱

[@magicsupamoggie]

Thanks for the feedback Hans.

[@keelymunoz6960]

Thank you for the feedback. Her classes are so expensive but I really want to take them. Hearing someone say it works makes me want to spend the money.

[@johnman559]

Hydroponics, much bigger yield no critters required, let that sink in.

[@thebobthebobanite6287]

I have learned more from an hour of this lecture than the thousands of organic gardening/farming videos and books I've consumed.

[@IvanPavlov007]

Yeah this is mindblowing. I've been binging organic/regenerative agriculture content for almost a year but this just drove it home so hard. Basically what I'm starting to see is nature already performs at peak performance, then we get in the way, destroy/control/micromanage and wonder why things aren't working so well. When she pointed out that we don't even need to replenish the nutrients from a harvested tomato - something I still believed - or that there's ZERO relationship between plant tissue nutrient concentration and soil soluble nutrients, my jaw literally dropped.

[@justayoutuba5380]

Preach it Doc! I'm 58, entering my Junior year at Penn State for a B.S in Biology because this lady spurred me to do confirming research to the point where I could not decipher the documents. My backyard is my lab this summer and hope to demonstrate this paradigm to my cousin's lawn care customers.

[@Horse237]

This is my first Elaine Ingham video. Do her methods work with greenhouses and raised beds? I think she is the best teacher available.

[@TheGrasspond]

How about that. I am 58 finishing an MS in natural resource mgt at SUNY ESF up in Syracuse. Great to know there is someone else out there my age doing this!

[@svetlanikolova5557]

+Horse237 Yes! if you put your plants on the ground. Or your raised beds are bottomless!

[@northavealum]

I'd be very interested to know the results of your backyard lab experience and the reaction from your cousin's lawn care customers. I'm interested in Dr. Elaine Ingham teachings for agricultural purposes - but also for my front lawn (which has degraded over time and no professional lawn care company has provided a satisfactory result for the last 10 years.

[@Littleking1985]

I said for years you don't grow the planet you grow the soil. I thought I knew what I was saying until I found Dr. Ingham. She really showed me I didn't even know the half of it. Brilliant woman I'm glade I found out about her now I'm binge-watching every video I can find.

Oh my gosh!! Found my new teacher!!!!!!!!! Soo much thanks!!!

[@donnabrown1518]

I always wondered why the first year I grew a garden in a specific spot the plants didn't produce like I would like them to. Every year after that, the soil and the plant life on that soil improved and now I understand why. It was the organic systems that I put into place that allowed the micro-organisms to thrive.

[@jsmyth024]

Anyone who found this exciting and interesting would probably LOVE the work of Paul Stamets. Mycology and Soil foodweb for the win! Edit: Also this! The studies done on sterile mice(without a gut biome) are really thought provoking. A channel called "What I learned" is one of the best on the tube, afaic.

Aloha I love it the knowledge is real and I can relate ..I live in Kauai and we suffer the same “dirt” issue here on island and I’ve took the time to educate my self about soil and I love what you teach and your approach on it would love to see some organization here to deliver the same message throughout the island....much love and aloha

The only thing I bought is organic hormone and deworming meds free horse fertilizer with more red wigglers, that i can ever dream of. This lady is absolutely amazing. She is my Garden and soil college. Thank you for putting this video up. You should translate it in all available languages and teach people to save our planet! Thank you and blessings from Bulgaria! PS. You just saved me a ton of money and time as well. God bless you!

[@Jefferdaughter]

Finally, in the USA some horse owners are learning to ignore the advice from the chemicals companies and veterinarians to de-worm their horses every 6 weeks. Or 4 times a year - all without running fecal tests. Before WWII, more people knew how to manage their animals and land to keep both healthy. For example, horses and cattle were often co-grazed or rotated to each other's pastures. With different grazing patterns and acting as deadend hosts for each other's parasites, there were advantages for the pasture and the animals. Never heard of hormones being used routinely in horses, but sadly they often are in both beef and dairy cattle.

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

In another presentation she mentions how deworming medications are sterilizers, killing hosts of beneficial biology. Don’t use them.

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

I believe it was this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGrWg2ulpb2Xbtk

She aint kidding about OSU and Monsanto! I took a class about gmo's and chemicals in ag there and it was a long commercial in pro gmo and synthetic chemical propaganda. Luckily they actually had some organic ag and permaculture offerings there too.

[@carbrock.2854]

It's refreshing to hear that all the mineral plants need are in the soil, that it's just a matter of building the microbiology of the soil to make those minerals bioavailable to plants, but there's not much practical information here beyond "making and adding compost". No talk about cover crops in order to continue feeding the microbiology. She still makes it sound complicated, like only her company knows the proper mechanics of improving the soil, but I guess that's how she makes her money.

[@mmccrownus2406]

Agreed. Christine Jones suggests vast results from multi species cover crops as solution

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

She is right. My family tends to a property which has plenty of untouched area. It's in a desert area & the only places where there is dirt is the thin animal trails + the places where cars/people go. The rest of the natural Earth is COVERED. When hiking, the ground cover is usually as tall as your boots with a fluffy mass of falling twigs which are about chest high. The plants are basically taller than a man. Wheat / barely / oats also cover the hills as tall as they can grow... all without ANY touch from man. It's all clay .. any place where there are no plants the dirt turns as hard as cement.

[@zentimental4988]

every living being in my garden thanks you for sharing this, heartfelt crucial information. i'm brewing compost tea's like a madman, throwing around endo and ecto mycorrhiza, bonemeal, bloodmeal, guano, organic bloom-stimulaters!! please Elaine we need more of your knowledge spread far and wide. wow incredible lecture. the simplicity is even so we could teach this to kids in school no problem

[@emilkermendy4595]

I love all Dr E. Ingham's presentations and the didactic and fun way to explain recently discovered microBiology fuctioning of soil. Particularly, in this video at 15:12 to 15:20 she states: COMPOST IS NOT A FERTILIZER, IT IS AN INOCULANT. Its brilliant. Now, lets go to practice. We grow wine Grapes and make wine, we learned long ago to make good yeast starter, it work wonderfully, so, applying the same concept, how much comport would be good to apply to a vineyard, supposing its microbiology needs to be improved? (always there is room for improvement). We would appreciate comments.....

[@simonmasters3295]

I'm answering from first principles but I'd say introduce a mix of native species or desired green cover in 9cm pots...maybe even plugs grown in, or innoculated with, high fungal compost and planted close to the Vine rootstock

[@alpaycan76]

i wish i could see where she was pointing on screen...

[@sariihover4798]

I wish I knew this video once it is uploaded

[@greenstair]

The information is great and massively educational. We do not deserve to be spoken down to because we were taught bad methods however. Please don't be aggressively negative to me, I simply didn't know and that attitude turned me off - we need to, we HAVE to turn people onto this. So please be more understanding of our ignorance, be kinder.

[@guloguloguy]

Thank you, Very Much, for this sobering talk, about the importance of building soil biology!!! What might be the best approach, to restoring any degraded parcel of land, especially small, residential, rural property, that has been planted largely, to "turf grass". I suspect that it would be best to start by planting as many "pioneer species" of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, sedges, grasses, rushes, etc., whatever is locally "NATIVE", and, that will help send deep roots into the ground, and to save, and compost as much of the duff, and leaf litter, and to compost that, and distribute it around the trees, and shrubs, primarily, and to keep trying to introduce more and more plant species, until you have the maximum diversity possible, depending on the amount or Sun light, water, and temperatures.... Can you recommend any concise guides on "soil microscopy"?!...

When talking about removal of nutrients remember we grow carbohydrates. They are 47% C 43% O 4% H 3%N. That is 97% of the elements in food come from the air around us.

[@soilcreepsandgardengeeks71]

I've learned of and completely sold and empassioned by this. A quick question: people assume that microbial activity doesn't begin until soil temps are at around 55 degrees. While I'm sure it's true that the activity gets ramped up as temperatures warm would I be correct in assuming that soil biology is active you're around. If while I'm sure it's true that the activity gets ramped up as temperatures warm would I be correct in assuming that soil biology is active year-round. If true so, what kind of activity is being carried out in winter months etc.

[@garthwunsch]

I don’t know how much life process goes on in very cold soil, but I do believe there’s a lot. My mulch decomposes over winter under the snow, of which we get a lot in central Ontario. Youngsang Cho of JADAM Organic Farming (book and KZbin) says it’s important to culture microbes at the ambinet temperature of the garden. Big Ag marketers sell single microbial cultures that are to be cultivated at temperatures much higher than soils normally get... unless you’re in a hot desert. Those microbes will die (along with your bank account) when applied to a cool soil. Cho teaches how to grow the microbes for pennies.

[@krustysurfer]

Amazing! Makes the most LOGICAL Sense! I am from the Pac N.W..... Surfing out on the peninsula, the smell in the temperate rainforest, that humic fulvic acid in the air, so cathartic, so healing.....

Some parts of the information I found quite new as I am working on Case Study to address the setbacks of the Green Revolution. I then referred to google scholar and my Ecology Book on symbiosis. I did find it a bit extreme. We do need certain amount of tools, including vertical hydroponics, drip irrigation, greenhouses, etc. However, being extreme is the problem. Farmer suicide from Bt cotton is a problem of such extreme when the Green Revolution came to India in the 1990's. I did notice that such ideas are not equally affordable for individuals, particularly, in Low Middle Income countries and rural communities.
