      The only problem is it sounds like they still adhere to and push the germ theory religion that pHARMa, CDC, and FDA have used to manipulate so many people into injecting poisons and creating germaphobes. So sad.

      Absolutely. And just saw Jess Sowards talk about meeting Charles too, all my worlds are colliding. I just love seeing all these big channels focus on healthy living soil and inspiring so many to grow their own or at least start asking questions about where their food and health is coming from. Exciting!

    I also want to say that all the work you're doing with No Dig for free on You Tube, Charles, is just wonderful. Unfortunately I don't have a garden myself but I watch all of your videos and IF I had a garden I would do No Dig. And the way you and Dr Berg work on You Tube, for free for anyone who wants to learn about health and nutrients in different ways is absolutely stunning. You are both great teachers, thank you very much for all that you do 💕

And following Charles Dowding 3 years and enjoying my no dig garden and I couldn't be happier that they found each other. What a perfect collaboration! So excited that Dr Berg is farming now and looking forward to his new videos on the subject. Thank you Dr. Berg and Charles for for changing my life and the lives of so many others. Keep up the great work!

    I was appalled to find out that, in the US, hydroponically-grown food can be certified as organic, ignoring the whole soil microbiome contribution to nutrition. It has made me wary of the certified organic label in general and spurred me to tear out a significant portion of my backyard landscaping and start growing my own no-dig food.

      Another huge contention with labeling Organic, is that farmers pay the companies that are certifying their farms. It's a huge conflict of interest. If the certification companies are not certifying people, then they have no job, so what gives them the incentive to decertify and reject certification?

    So thrilled to see you two together - excellent!. My husband and I came across Weston Price's work & book 45 years ago! We are now 73 and 83 and on no routine medications (none needed), physically active and with an abundant no-dig garden (in the middle of a city lot). Every day we graze the garden for what is on our table. We find that a small urban back yard can grow enough for our table year round -- with only minor supplements from the market. And it does not take hours of work. It takes learning how to grow year round, how much to plant to keep a steady supply, etc. Thank you both for your work continuing to educate people.

Each setting is unique with a different climate and space to grow. But minimal interference (avoid unnecessary & expenseive products), careful observation and a commitment to find natural solutions will go a long way. I grew up in midwest farming country and had to un-learn a lot. Ruth Stout got me going a long time ago! Also Weston Price. Long before UA-cam garden videos!

    Great to see you and Eric talking about soil health and its importance in the quality of our food. I have watched quite a few of his presentations. I mainly follow a low carb diet with a bit more flexibility at weekends etc. I incorporate loads of vegetables grown on my no dig veg plot. People can be very confused about keto/low carb & think that it is a meat only diet. Whilst it can be meat centric, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. Any diet that puts you into ketosis is a ketogenic diet.

    As a bee keeper and biodynamic gardener all of your concerns and efforts are pleasing to my ears and knowledge. Thank you for this important and timely collaboration.
    There is a important bee sanctuary in Southern Va called Spikenard Bee Farm where I trained. My Biodynamic mentor Hugh Courtney and his homoeopathically trained wife Liz Courtney, both now deceased, trained many many students over the years in the method of using plant and animal derived preparations that heal and nourish the soil. Their location and legacy was out of Woolwine, Va. The formerly affiliated business Hugh brought back to life, sells preparations but they are a shadow of the real thing he produced and taught us to produce. Adding chemically manufactured substances to soil is detrimental and not necessary. Check it out people.

Also I only get about 6-7 hours of good sun around time of the summer solstice. The last 2 years we haven’t bought any veg from about March through October and salads through the winter.

    This is such an important conversation that we all could be having with our food producers. I hope Dr Berg gets seriously into the research trials on the difference between hydroponic systems and living soil systems. Walter Jehne has long been a voice saying the difference is profound because with no fungal networks as filters, the plants uptake of heavy metals can reach toxic levels for animals and humans. John Kempf, episode 91 conversation with Stephan van Vliet, advancing eco agriculture, discussed Stephens work looking at the difference of animals grazed on grass compared with animales grazed on a variety of plants including medicinal herbs. The compounds were in the blood and the meat in a very short time. The research needs to be expanded and the results known widely.

      Dr. Berg is a Scientologist in a cult who pretends to be Christian. He's not a doctor. He's a chiropractor. Everything about that man is fake, including the supplements he sells according to his own son who left Scientology. Look it up.

    It is great to see the two of you together! I have learned so much from you both. This is my second year gardening and Charles has been my main teacher. It is ironic that my body doesn't tolerate vegetables well (autoimmune issues) and I mostly eat beef but I love to grow tomatoes, peppers, beans, tomatillos, onions, garlic, leeks, squash - all of it. The majority of the food I grow is given away so I benefit from the exercise and fresh air while making a lot of friends happy who enjoy the vegetables.

      @@CharlesDowding1nodig I have been growing food to eat for a very short time compared to so many others here, however what I have been 'growing for many other years is compost and have been greatly shocked by the great difference in what one can buy and what one can produce, which is so very much better
      what we ourselves can make/produce, as I have found, just actual texture can say so much more, that alone it has to be a greater contribution than what is
      actually appreciated and the home made has so much more ingrediants that can turn out better.
      That it just has to be said, that it would be so much better if actual compost manufacturers could please state on bags, just like those producing food for us
      what can be found good, within it by quality amounts when produced.
      Like the actual contents of other food items.
      We all know that cocktails can be so tasty but also know of the bad among them, you know what I am saying.
      I found that many of what I purchased, and tried all brands, all prices not able to compare to what we ourselves are able to produce, and I consider that
      this is what we should name as earth, and never ever dirt.

    I watch both you guys, always been very interested in the way we sustain bodily health and enjoy being the food grower for my family. There is nothing as satisfying as to be sitting down with a plate of home grown vegetables/salad/fruit, and with each mouthful seeing the year of hard but enjoyable work from producing compost, planting seeds to seeing them flourish (not always), the struggles through the season of draught or flood, weeds and pests and then still the joy of preparing a meal for the family, what can be more important for our families health. Please, please bang on about our soil, what this country can do (UK and the US), we can do so much when we are all on the same page as it was during world war II to produce our food and it's been said we had the healthiest diet back then.
    I was so fortunate as a child to have parents brought up in that era. I was born in London in the 1960's. We as a large family were very poor financially but boy did we eat well. My parents had a huge allotment at the back of our house (we had no garden only a yard) and produced a lot of our food which my wonderful parents prepared with love. I feel very blessed to have such a good "rich" start in life and to have had the knowledge passed down of knowing what good honest food tastes like and how it can be produced, and this all with my dad working two jobs, not such modern house hold time saving devices for mum, no central heating and cloth nappies to boot!
    It is a great worry, with parents with children today not been educated enough in such matters and being sold and fed such nutrient dead food in packets of promise, and being denied a healthy body and mind for their and their families futures. Its a crime to humanity. We need to go back to good soil on our farms and gardens for better sustainability for all our futures, human, animal, plant, and microorganisms. There is mega tonnes of human waste being a pollutant in our world and shouldn't be ignored in this equation as a solution, if we go back in time, this was also very much part of the natural chain of things, using what we have (correctly) we have everything we need if we want it enough, if we care enough and love what we have and want to cherish our world for future generations. We need voices like you guys to show the narrow minded and uninformed leaders of our countries to see the light and the possibilities available to us all. Yes, we desperately need our rich soil, pollinating insects, clean water ways, and fresh air of yesteryear and we are set to go, go forward with healthier minds and bodies and a better future. Yes, Eric a UK viewer but not London, I was fortunate to have escaped the "big smoke" to Dorset now. Love your great attitude Charles, great to hear of those books you spoke of and the work they've done, you are a great inspiration to others to get down and get dirty and see the worms, the insects, and see whats going on.

      It worries me equally that there are relatively few parents with either the means, time or indeed the knowledge to prepare nutritious food for themselves and the children.
      I wish it were true that our leaders, as you put it, actually cared about this. Everything I see points in the other direction. I'm doing my best at least to reach thousands, millions on the ground, not in the halls of power!

    Something you said about watering affecting soil health really stood out to me. I use municipal water for drip irrigation and from the hose which is chlorinated enough I can smell it when it comes out of the hydrant. I can’t rely on rainfall because we don’t get any precipitation in the summer (It mostly falls in winter in my area). I really notice the difference in growth in trying to propagate seedlings.
    They are stunted and do not have the healthy rootball compared to yours. Once they get in the ground and get going they are fine. But maybe I need to feed the soil more often to offset the chlorine killing off the beneficial microbes. The tiny bit of soil in the plugs is not enough to tolerate the chlorinated water. I could try letting some water sit so the chlorine off gases and then use that on the seedlings to try to get them to grow better. An experiment for next spring!

    I keep a ridiculously small 6x1m "garden" in my porch, where in 3 years I've harvested kale, peppers, tomatoes, physalis, strawberries, green beans, fava beans, purslane, cucumbers, calendula, nasturtium, lettuce, fennel and other stuff, all in containers. It's my little laboratory, where I learn how to grow stuff in my area (Portugal, 10A). What I like the most about Charles' approach is that there is an intuition, a sharp common sense in his knowledge. I identify with that immensely. I am not so familiar with Eric Berg (I don't like to address anyone by their job, that's why I'm not addressing to him as Dr.), but testing scientifically what farmers see and know by instinct is fundamental. We need a lot more Bergs, and that is proven by how huge his following is. Not to take anything away from him, but if more scientists are into this kind of research, we'll know more about which way to go from here, as most politicians seem to be biased economically in all sides of the spectrum. We need contradicting dietary views studying this matter, as long as they keep away from preaching and spreading false information - aka "beliefs". We need to know, not to believe. The only signs we need don't come from the sky, but from the land where we bury our dead, and that is why the soil has soul. Got a bit carried away, but there you go. Thanks for everything, Charles. You make living better.

      @@CharlesDowding1nodig As an independent songwriter, I live with that financial dilemma all the time. I chose a precarious way of living, but that lead me to growing my own food, though originally out of need ahead of consciousness. Nowadays, that thought process has evolved into something much deeper. Growing your own is something you should learn as soon as you start to build a glimpse of personality. The careless feed-my-tummy route has proven to be quite detrimental to our happiness. It's not about money or space. I learn a lot from seeing videos of people growing stuff on dirt "stolen" from construction work nearby, in so-called 3rd world countries (who is anyone to make a rank of this?). I try not to sound political about this because I honestly believe growing is for everyone, even people on opposite ideologies to mine (do I actually have one?). We do need to come to a place where funding research is a reality and something we crave, and not something farmers need to spend their time on. There is plenty of money to be made by scientists, they just need to realize that they can make it working with farmers instead of big pharma. No conspiracy stuff here, just practical, everyday needs that require some impulse. Sorry if I'm making this subject a bit too touchy, I'm quite tired of raising these issues among my urban friends and getting near to zero empathy on the matter, so I guess that "loneliness" is showing a bit here. Thank you for your no BS approach, that allows you to go deeper than any shovel should :)

    Thank you so much for sharing Dr Berg on your channel, he's great. 10 - 12 yrs ago I had a ridiculous A1c number...9.5. I told the Dr. I WAS NOT going on meds, when I could control it with what I eat. Just so happened this all came about in June, when my first ever huge garden was growing great. In 2 weeks of eating raw, my number went to an incredibly reasonable number..6.2. Talking about hair color, I thought I was a bit nuts thinking mine was going every color it had ever been, no gray, to this day it's hardly showing any gray.

    I heard someone speak recently on compost and state the idea that finished compost is more all the microbes; and the microbes are like little nutrient factories. When you spread the compost on our ground then the factories can get to work building with what’s already in the ground. And maybe, Charles, your comments about the organisms being moist to be activated is part of the process.
