Very interesting. Dennis. Gotta hear more later

I noted at the 6:46 mark in this video that Dr Johnson says this can reach a thermophilic phase that will meet USDA requirements if built right. I understand that microbial activity is what heats up a static pile, so my question is if anyone knows what is the ratio of high nitrogen, greens and browns in the pile does the pile compromise of to get to the temperatures he noted?

hi, i am working on carbon farming project in my PhD. i am happy to connect

interesting, thank you! All the best from Canada

Amazing!

I don't really understand the baseline rationale particularly with biodiversity. We have baselines everywhere. They are over the fence in the neighbors. Surely a baseline that's combination of modelling and measuring can be produced wirh high accuracy. We do this for climate change itself. If we can model reasonably accurately into the future surely, with the benefit of actual historical data we can model and measure back to a past and then fwd to a likely present. I know exactly what my soil would be like if I'd stuck to status quo management. It would be very close to an average if my surrounding neighbors. We pick a start date say 2000, there's your baseline.

Do you have to decide at very start of project if you want 25 or 100 year permanence? Is there a period where you can upgrade or downgrade. I can't imagine why you would elect a 100 year permanace before your first carbon testing (after baselining). That would seem an extremely risky thing to do. But I can see it as plausible after some verification your practice change is working.

Finally!!!! so few people understand the basics of how carbon gets sequestered in the soil via the roots supplying sugars to the microbes! And yes, those microbes are essential for plant growth. I’m also thankful for the visual of the difference in soil from regenerative agriculture.

What am i missing? So me as a farner, i can signup with you, increase carbon content in soil and get paid?

These charts are fine and dandy but where is all the hands on info of how to integrate this biology into the soil. The charts which show how to deal with the different soil types and how to use this on a small setting. The different problems that may arise of using too little or too much? Are there any other videos of exactly how to use this biology from the reactor other than his using pictures?

Could Johnson-Su be scaled up to use as a municipal form of composting organic matter? I am interested in how this could be utilized by a town or community for home composting pick up and yard waste at a large scale. The product is then recycled to area farms and gardeners. Any feedback on this would be appreciated!

How much compost do you apply per acre?

Food security: Hans Rosling has pointed out that increased Third World wealth is reducing population growth for possibly a number of reasons: e.g. they no longer have to provide their own late in life carer, a richer (educated) child will be of more help than a batch of peasants, they can save for retirement, etc. Nutrition (quality) is more important and the Industrial Ag/Green Revolution has gone in completely the wrong direction (Dr. Zach Bush). Declining arable land - a completely man-made problem, reversible with *Regenerative Agricultural* practices. Ditto, soil quality (productivity) of existing and reclaimed land.

Paying farmers to be half decent farmers is Alice in Wonderland thinking. Building productive soil so that it is productive year after year, that it becomes independent from natural cycles, thus giving a farm more options is the game, the only game and asking taxpayers to fund that is an academic/government solution. Defeating Inertia is a co-dependent exercise. Furthermore he has (Lecture 1) just described the carbon cycle, what it does for the land: so who needs Academics and Politicians telling you are a good boy? I get it, take advantage of their dullness, but when you do it for yourself, your farm, your future, you effectively become a professional, a businessman and a farmer.

Remarkably underappreciated information.

Ummm I sure hoping u all just kidding

Lol. Ha ha ha ha. O goodnesses

I just don’t get it. Sounds like voodoo

Is there any way some of the principles could be meaningful on established groves?

Would you please stop interjecting your stupid religion into an otherwise scientific presentation? The earth is not six billion years old.

What a fantastic information!! Thank you so much for sharing …

catalytic nutrients - with the compost extract - fish emulsion, molasses, boron, sulfur, calcium

compost extract (biology + organic acids)- 1 ton of good compost into 30,000 liters of water (ideal) - application rate foliar - 50-100 liters of compost extract per hectare

what is an ideal condition for propagation of MO in the soil ?

It may not be realistic to water the outdoor reactor daily in cold northern climates. Is watering during winter an absolute must? Any other options?

8:00 This is confusing to me. In part 4, you pointed out that additional SOC storage seemed to flatline above 3% SOM, implying that from that point on, the additional C captured goes into the plant instead of the soil. In Gabe's case, however, the SOC content seemed to increase expontentially rapidly at exactly 3%. These two things seem contradictory. What's the explanation for this?

Very informative, thank you.

Can I build it shorter 4ft

Normaly i speak french , so what the difference between wowen landescape within felt landescape cloth ? Thx !

Please I have difficulty getting the landscape cover fabric . Can I use black plastic with holes made on them

Hello everyone. Has anyone built one of these compost systems in Canada? I live in Ontario, zone 5a. We get a lot of snow where I live there is currently about 1.5 - 2 feet of snow on top of my compost pile in my yard. How does the winter effect tis system? Water, freezing temperatures, composting timeline 12months? Or more? Also does everyone add worms to the pile? Any experience and help is greatly appreciated. I love the idea of this system.

Can I build it shorter by using 4"x4"x4' tall wire fencing? Or is that not enough mass?

The results are really interesting but the system seems not to be different from traditional farming practices to me. In the Alps people collect the waste from the stable ( mostly a mix of straw, hay and manure ) compost it on piles and after 1 or 2 years spread it in the fields. Although farmers think about it as an amendment rather than an inoculum, what’s the difference in practice? Are you comparing yields with degraded or poor managed lands?

A lot of work. Leaf mold takes a year or 2 to break down. Hot compost takes much less time if turned regularly. I'd rather hot compost each winter and let the worms come naturally. After a few years of adding compost and the worms doing their thing, less compost will be needed. The first year you use your compost will give great results while attracting worms while the Bioreactor is still processing.

These are great for a quick refresher.

This is blowing my mind!

Disking in? Too much tillage. Rolling flat with a roller crimper would be better.

Thanks for this great video series. I'd like to make a suggestion, if I may. How about putting it into a playlist so they'll play sequentially automatically?

Why does government worry about a natural product leaching into the ground but allow chemicals to be sprayed in millions of gallons per year into the soil? Any leaching is not harmful since it is an organic material that is found in nature all over the world.

Thanks for the video, it was very interesting and important info about the soil and its environment relationships, I'm happy when you mentioned the Dynamics correlation to the process, as it shows an important matter inside your experience project. so all organisms together circulating in the system and true not linear. please make sure the importance of water ratio here too as I think it may need 3 quarters to one in order to balance the equation for growth, health, and long life. cheers

I have been studying for 2 years. This and his other lecture on building a Bioreactor for composting.

I have built a horse manure hot bed this year to use next early spring.

If you can't use Glyphosate, do you plough? or how do you manage the weeds?

Hi, how did you figure out 1/3 of each material for this?

Makes me wonder what the heck IS clay... I thought it was ground up rock, but this comes from pure vegetable matter... Does this bypass the humus stage? That crumbly earthy stuff..? Seems impermeable to anything above a bacteria as far as living environment.

can you let rainfall wet down the pile during winter? Irrigation is turned off during winter freeze, so what alternative is there to keeping pile properly moist in winter? Is several feet of snow resting on the pile going to hurt it? Should it be covered most of the time with landscape fabric other than during rainfall? Is it bad to get it too wet?

how do you apply this to your garden once it's finished since it is such a dense clay like material?
