- Dr. Elaine Ingham talks about soil fertility and the role of soil microbial life.
Dr. Ingham is a world-renowned soil biologist who pioneered many of the currently used biological soil amendment techniques and pioneered the testing of soil microbial life as an indicator of soil and plant health. Dr. Ingham is the Chief Scientist at the Rodale Institute. She is the founder of the Sustainable Studies Institute and the Soil Foodweb Inc. soil testing labs. Dr. Ingham is the key author of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's Soil Biology Primer. She has been the mentor of numerous soil scientists and practitioners of ecologically balanced landscape design, and has helped farmers all over the world to grow more resilient crops by understanding and improving their soil life.
My left ear definitely enjoyed it :-)
Thank you Dr Ingham for your great work in soil biology and sharing your knowledge with all of us. :-)
Great talk by Dr Elaine Ingham on soil.
I have seen her talk at a couple places, great stuff!
I respect the heck out of this lady, but she has ruffled a lot of feathers. Her "Garden Myth" papers are really interesting.
Thankyou so much for what you have done. Taking the time to ask the right questions for the rest of us.
rodale institute deserves a noble peace prize.very fine talk.thankyou madam.we appreciate.
just remixed my compost heap and its hotting up nice, did not know about the need to cool it down. Every thing i've ever read tells you to wait for the activity to cease before turning...big thanks to people like Dr Elaine for making this fascinating and super important subject accsessable to the lay person...p.s if any one's interested check out NRCS-videos of old school farmers ditching the chemicals for no till cover cropping ..it's a revolation and a revolution in process...
Great stuff. Thanks.
I'm dropping by to express appreciation for this presentation. Every day provides an opportunity to learn something new. This UA-cam video gave me a better understanding of the importance of adequate oxygen as a benefit to the Indigenous Micro Organisms in our soil. The same way WE need air to survive, IMOs need air as well.
Wow! that was quite of ear-opener. It was indeed fascinating. I learned so much in 15 minutes... I feel I am a soil expert already. :) Thank you, Dr. Ingham.
Beauty is in the soil of the farmer
rodale institute deserves a noble peace prize.
I thank you too much for your 5th. edition of compost tea brewing manuals that helped me
in my professional master degree I have learned good new information from yourself.
Thank you again
Very smart women, thank you for the knowledge...
Good video. The historiography of how WWII was won is a little out there, but the idea of soil management as microbiology management is very enlightening.
Do we know what Elaine thinks about la grelinette (the broadfork)?
its tilling, if u need to break up to the soil to get seed in then the dirt hasnt been transformed yet, using a cover crop or if in a warmer dry area? u may need to break it up to help with competition at start and till in compost into the plow pan or compaction layer (injecting works as well) to help the organisms rebuild structure... tilling needs tilling and will keep requiring it. one can mulch a seed layer in with compost and get the germination rates to improve.
Very good and informative!!
She's ace! Wish she was my soil science teacher!
soil food web school, check it out. she can be
A talk by Dr Elaine Ingham on soil and the need for composting.
make more videos . could listen to you share your knowlage all day =>
I am new to raising cattle but have been organic for some time now. I have studied health instead and recently was asked to try a new fulvic product made from trees on our pasture. It is 30 percent which apparently is a very big thing. Anyway as I studied more and found people drinking plus the fact the one I was using is drinkable I started using drops in our smoothies every morning. My husband has gone through 10 surgeries trying to get a t-tube removed because while saving his life from a heart attack they damaged his throat which caused a shelf of scar tissue and after the last surgery the doctor commented that the shelf was dissolving. I know about glycans growing body parts enzymes and trace minerals. The heart and lung doctors could not believe what was happening as his body was slowly regenerating but when I realized it was the fulvic which finished our search I had to find out more and so far there is no source to test all the items in fulvic. My daughter too lost her parathyroid glands after a cancer surgery and was unable to balance her calcium but now it is working. At least for the last six months.
We have now put two spraying of this item with microbes included and as I study cattle, it appears many similarities. I realize trees have fungi and depending on the tree has one that address different diseases. Oak trees have a peptide which regulates blood sugars etc. in fact two universities are competing to come out with the drug for diabetes from matiki mushrooms.
I have said all of this to ask if anyone knows of a lab that came test for fungi and glycans including n-glycans in a substance.

I hope you have already found an answer to your question.
If not, may I suggest contacting Paul Stamets of Fungi Perfecti at fungi.com.
He is in a number of UA-cam videos.
great great great
The creation of ammonia via the Haber-Bosch process to make bombs happened just before and during WWI (one), originating in Germany. But by the end of WWII, the process was well-known and used by all major powers.
Pesticides were more of an outgrowth of WWII.
good stuff
i love dirt :)
its so dirty and amazing
I love soil not dirt
Dr. Ingram. Isn't Florida soils an exception as since they are primarily of two types, silica sans and limestone and shell sand. Decomposition of these will only produce five or so minerals necessitating additional inputs such as rock dust powders in addition to the organics. The only other source of minerals that I can think of would be artesian water having its origin from adjoining states, to which deep rooted trees might reach and draw up into their tissue. Kindly correct me if I am missing something.
What does she think about Biodynamic composting? Not turning the compost, burying it in the ground within a cow horn?
i
Outstanding.

@5:00 many rain-forests do not have "good soil" and in fact have more like "poor soil" but still as Elaine says support so much life. We can't generalise about rainforests, forests or woodlands because they vary vastly in terms of CO2 sequestration and every thing else even within one continent.
can I share this video on my channel without getting in trouble..??
awe man, what happened to the sound?
MY LEFT EAR!
Did she say that you should turn the compost at 155 degres? Celsius or Farenheit?
Fahrenheit
Hi,
Is there any non chemical way to clean DIRT/OIL as you call it from cloth.
I am an artist but I am a bit of an health nut too. I use a lot of oil paint in my artwork. I am wondering, instead of using chemicals/solvent.... IF their is any non chemical to remove the Oil/Soil/Dirt from the rags so I can reuse them instead of just throwing them out, knowing that these supplies are not actually properly cleaned but just removed and still dumped into out environment..??
Can someone explain to me how carbon gets burned off as CO2 when you till but not when you compost? Thanks
Both ways are part of the short carbon cycle. The short cycle happens when ANYTHING decays. The difference is what % gets sequestered in the long cycle. Deep in the soil a higher % of long cycle (1,000 years or more if undisturbed).
What happens with tillage is you have the same turnover of short cycle biological decay PLUS a lot of long cycle carbon gets disturbed and returns to the short cycle.
CO does get burned off when composting particularly if it goes anaerobic(bad) but remember there is a purpose. You are culturing a complete or close to complete food web when composting aerobically. whereas burning off the co2 By tilling only encourages bacteria and actually decimates fungi populations.
In The end the balanced system actually sequesters carbon by facilitating healthy and vigorous plants.
Well it does provide habitat for the soil microbiology. So I agree. I am actually researching a way to minimize all inputs, even compost. gofundme.com/sustainable-ag-research
Ingham argues strongly against anaerobic composting. Also anaerobic composting produces much methane, which is 105x as potent as CO2 in the atmosphere as a GHG over twenty years. Manure left on the pasture or from feed lot farming in ponds produces a huge amount of methane.
I welcome every attempt to differentiate between the two, but you're going to need a lot of perseverance and luck trying to convince many North Americans to say "soil" instead of dirt! I can really imagine this evoking the "If I'm wrong then I don't want to be right" or "from my cold dead hands" defensive stance from a lot of people, just like when people suggest using more scientific units of measurement. I hope they prove me wrong.
hhmm no sound
be nice if her theorys can be replicated and get peer reviewed.
been done so many times, problem is the peer review system and the other system in place (big ag) that wont allow for the results to be made public knowledge. the disconnect is real.
@@theplantopinion8189 I hate the peer review system, it sucks. Doesn't mean much to me.
@9:48 total fail. The Haber process (a.k.a. the Haber-Bosch process) was invested in World War 1, by the Germans (Does Haber-Bosch sound american?) and it allowed them to continue producing munitions for World War 1.
Other than that, nice talk.
Cracked.com told me this woman saved the world from being saturated by a breed of matter-decaying supermicrobes.
So apparently she's a sci-fi superhero.
don't recommend listening to this with headphones
Too bad her grasp of historical facts is so poor. It throws doubt on the rest of her statements.
The difference between natural ecosystems, which don't need fertilizers, and agricultural systems? WE REMOVE CROPS, WHICH INCLUDES NUTRIENT ELEMENTS AND CARBON. And the higher the yields we seek (in order to be financially viable as business that pays workers so they can have the necessities of life), the more we remove. We're not hunting and gathering.Furthermore, this presentation is full of pseudo-philosophical generalities which teach nothing; and it's presented in a tone that is sanctimonious and vaguely condescending, as if the audience a bunch of children who just hasn't learned their lesson.
Well, even though I have an advanced degree, I'm knew to the soil-food-web information so I appreciated hearing her explain as if I were a child. I did not hear the condescension you claim.
Microbiology is a pretty advanced subject so she needs to make it simple for us to understand. She does not sound condescending. She is a doctor of soil microbiology and has worked in her field for 40 years. Maybe you should try and listen to her. She also has techniques to deal with you removing plants from the soil all the time, such as planting an understory. She has techniques that will help you get a much higher yield for your business if you can open your mind and learn.
Completely inaccurate details on WWII, TNT and the Haber process.
