Working the land for our climate - Healthy soil, healthy world | DW Documentary

They just talk, we learned all this thousands of years ago but now the rich and powerful get to kill the rest.

[@ninemoonplanet]

I am in almost constant tussle with someone who just looks at the dirt (compacted clay) and shrugs it off, saying "That's bad soil".. I finally managed to get a worm farm going, used the compost to make an extract, asked him to add it into the garden. This year quite a bit of the plants are darker green, growing free of mildew and insect infestations. The plants are strong enough to withstand the infections, most of the pests like aphids haven't appeared.. Grow the soils, the plants will be healthier. Chemicals cost a ridiculous amount this year, we're not using any at all. Regenerative agriculture is a growing (no pun intended) way ranchers, farmers, and food producers are now seeing as a viable way to increase crops, healthy animals that don't need antibiotics, etc. The major agriculture chemical companies don't want people to change, to rethink the ways farming and food production is done. It's cutting into profits.

[@capicuaaa]

Most definitely! And not only is it much less expensive than buying synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, etc, it actually heals the land as opposed to killing the life within the soil.

[@elenalatici9568]

I live in Tuscany where the soil is exactly what you described: compacted clay. Trying to dig even a small hole to plant seeds is like trying to dig into rock. As for worms, I've never seen a single one in the 20 years I've lived in Italy, whether the Bolognese plain, the Appennini, or the hills of Tuscany. Maybe it's always been like this here for millennia. I don't know enough about soul conditions here, but I would love to have your advice.

[@thisorthat7626]

@@elenalatici9568 Please look into cover crops to help aerate the soil and provide organic material. When watering, add a small amount of dish soap to help the water get into the soil. The dish soap will act as a surfactant and won't hurt the soil life. Starting a worm farm would also help if you can buy worms. You can feed them leftover veggies, etc. Lots of videos on worm farms on KZbin. Alfalfa feeds the microbes in the soil so please continue to add it your garden. Roses will require very little water once established if you mulch the soil. My climate is much like Tuscany, and I rarely water my roses during the dry months of summer. Have fun learning.

[@linmal2242]

@@elenalatici9568 Buy a bag of dolomite limestone to break up and reduce the clay, then add organic matter, compost leaves etc. with animal manures! You will have beautiful soil in a few seasons.

[@ninemoonplanet]

@eleni latici start by using dead grasses, garden waste and spread it over the area you need to improve. Dig it in just a few cm and add water. You can also build up a pile of dead leaves, grasses, bits of wood and add water, then pile in anything green (growing weeds, leaves, plants without the roots, stir it, add water. Let that sit for a week, adding enough water to just keep it moist. It should turn a dark brown. Look inside once in a while, you may actually find a worm or a few inside. If you're near a farm with animals, see if the farmers will allow you to take a few dried, old manure piles, put those into the leaf pile. What happens then is a soil amendment for you to use.

I watched this documentary with great attention. In the 20 years I've lived in Italy I have never seen an earthworm, and that has puzzled me. I don't know the answer. If anyone.out there does I'd be happy for your input. Also, I would love to hear from one of the documentary makers if it's possible to contact anyone in Styria for what I can do for the soil in my own little flower garden. Last year I used alfalfa to fertilize the condominium roses. The result was pretty amazing. The roses had been neglected for years and recovered over the winter. As for my own roses, which I love for their beauty and scent, the harsh heat and drought conditions this summer have convinced me that I must do away with them. They require too much water. There is a company in Italy that sells native wildflower seeds and my plan at present is to replace all water consuming plants with wildflowers that attract bees. But I want to learn more about feeding the soil. Of course I know that a small garden will do nothing much for the large amount of lawn that surrounds the property where I rent an apartment, but if I can make a small difference maybe I can persuade the owner to give up the great lawns, now reduced to to crunchy straw, and replace it with wildflower meadows. Thanks to anyone who might respond.🙏🙏🙏

Humus farming - reduced tilliage is a step but the less cultivatiation the better - I think there is much room for improvement. Soil health is important but the soil can only hold so much carbon - probably much less when the most carbon-rich upper surface is being disturbed and yes that includes this "humus farming" - undrained wetlands do a much better job.

It breaks my heart to hear that it is difficult to get funding for such a noble undertaking. Imagine how much Europe is Spending on senseless wars in Ukraine and other places. If only 1% of this expense goes into the venture of nourishing the soil, then every region in the world could be free dead soil. I come from Kenya and have been adding humus (cow dung) to soil since I was born, and my grandparents have been doing the same. Then very educated people introduced us to ZERO GRAZINF where we put our cows and goats in very good enclosures with concrete floors and that was the end of cow manure. Now I understand that our soil died when we stopped using cow manure and started using artificial fertilizers. This documentary gave me knowledge equivalent to PHD level in soil nutrition. Thanks very much.

I've read that allowing grazing animals to roam at will is replenishing the soil, they are trying this with wild horse herds in Siberia.
