    The BLM is off by a factor of >1200% on HOW MUCH CO2 can be sequestered with Soil Regen/Mob Grazing. BLM Assumptions: • 6" Soil Profile Depth, • Photosynthesis is a Constant • Only 4% Organic Matter Tops Truth: • Root Penetration WITH SOIL AGGREGATION reaches down to 36" (600% BLM Error) • Photosynthesis is boosted 300-500%... so 3 to 5 times Sugars & Biomass • Peak Organic Matter at Gabe Brown's Farm is 14% (and still risimg). >300% BLM Error.

    At Going to Seed we grow and share open pollinated multivariety seeds, creating modern landraces resistent to climate chaos and local conditions. Soil biome, rhizophagy, cover crops and perma culure techniques tie needly in. That's where this top documentary was mentioned. Best i've seen.

    Thank you for an excellent talk, James and Sue 🙏🏽🙏🏽 How does growing that weed-suppressing corn affect future non-corn crops ? On my allotment I put any moss i find on the compost; it makes a beautiful silky material that never gets soggy. I also put fresh moss in my hugel pits and wish i had access to more 😅. No liverwort though; that proves to be too strong a survivor, clever little plant. Am finding a worm cast liquid spray very useful for peach leaf curl, just two applications. Also using a weak solution of worm cast liquid on bought seeds; seed saving is tricky as too many different veg varieties are being grown on neighbouring allotment plots which means i still have to buy seeds of 'dubious' treatment. But: i allow many veggies to self-seed, and it's a joy to see how they thrive. I also avoid using mains water. Artificial growth aids originated in the military realm, so no surprise that it's all about killing. Have had the excellent books Teaming with nutrients, and Teaming with microbes, didn't know there are three others, ordering right away! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 🌳🕊💚

    • @billiverschoore2466
      @billiverschoore2466 6 місяців тому

      Maybe start by rebuilding soils on part of your what sounds like big acreage? And get good live seeds of course, until you can save your own ((bearing in mind that you want to avoid growing possible interbreeders apart). Your produce will be far more nutritious than that from conventional farms. 🌳🕊💚
