December 22nd 2020 Dale Strickler addresses the 5 principles of soil health and why tillage is one of the most counter-productive practices for soil health.
As I listened, I saw lots of opportunity for upland wildlife to etch-out a living in these systems. Perhaps, there’s a future for pheasants, quail, meadow larks, etc? Outstanding!
How to grow in desert(15"~/yr)with hevy Calcrete ( glacial till cemented/concrete) starting 4-12" depth going down 25'. Without trucking in everything? Improving my 4-12" Lusse ( blow dirt>20% clay, 40% silt, 40%fine sand, .4% OM into 3' of viable root zone is the goal
For home Gardners who can not graze animals, if I put organic cow manure or chicken poop will that act as a substitute even if I do not get all the benefits from grazing?
If we change the current desert areas that are 90% sand are we not changing a eco system that is home to many creature that thrive on this type of environment? It’s one thing to restore land that we know man has deforested but the great sands of this world feed another kind of eco system like the winds carrying the sand to other parts of the world to feed another eco system. This transformation is no different that the destruction of soil fertile into a waste land by tillage, just in reverse and why do we applaud this? What irreversible consequences will occur? China is doing this in large scales how will this affect the Himalayan’s?
I listen to this guy and I go buy 60,000 acres next day, now I listen again because farm cant grow in ocean, why that guy sell me ocean when I say I farm why the tricks I just want to farm but now I must fish with no boat

I wept in awe at the beauty of cultivating life as it was designed.
This is really valuable information for a first time farmer about to buy 8 acres in SW Colorado! Thank you.
This was so, so good. Thank you!
Excellent video as usual, the true science delivered as common sense.
Same old thoughts just different name.
Thank you

What are your thoughts on P.A Yeomans' keyline plow for breaking up the subsoil hard pan?
Where does one get mycorrhizal fungi inocculant?
