EPISODE 131: Exploring the Rabbit Holes in the Soil with John Kempf | A Regenerative Future

This is the first in a series of podcasts where I discuss my new book, Regenerative Soil, with soil experts from a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives - these were previously recorded while I was writing and finalizing the book which is in the final formatting and review stages of its release. John Kempf is a farmer, researcher, author, podcast host, educator, entrepreneur, and family guy - he is on a mission to help farmer's transition into regenerative agriculture and achieve soil coherence no matter their starting point. He sells regenerative amendments, foliar sprays, mineral and microbial blends, and teaches farmers how to use them on his online course platform: Regen.ag Academy.

"I am now enthusiastically charged, I get energy from studying this" - Thank you! I thought I was the only one, I find this all so exciting, it's so fulfilling!

Ages ago, in Organic Gardening Magazine, someone wrote about transplanting nursery trees.
Their tip was to not move the tree until you had marked magnetic north with a string or yarn.
When placing the tree in its new home, turn the tree so it is oriented back to magnetic north again.
Then the tree will live.

[@nephilimPB]

If that were a significant factor then only 10 percent or less of randomly transplanted trees would survive

Here in windy Arizona I try to face it how it feels most comfortable with a wind blowing from the SW
So branches are oriented to comfortably blow around yet not break or be shading each other .how do I want it to look in 20 years or long after I'm gone....
If that makes sense.
But would like any more info on the magnetic north hypothesis.

Mind blown! LOVE these kinds of free ranging, what if kind of discussions!

[@paulbraga4460]

that experiment last mentioned - no sunlight etc. was the opening act of the Arden Andersen's book Anatomy of Life and Energy in Agriculture

[@kabbak]

2 of my favorites🎉, Have you guys ever seen tests/experiments on seed germination/development in an electric field? (Between 2 charged plates)

[@xaviercruz4763]

How did those experiments result? by the way did you understand the copper experiment mentioned here or the link to it and how it worked?

[@jeremyschissler337]

iron sulfate impregnated carbon matrix....totally diggin this!!!!

[@MarvinMonroe]

Wow the synchronicity! Just today decided to make a compost tea and for the past couple hours I've been researching that stuff. Then just thought about biochar, so searched for vids on that. Found this channel and this video just came out with like the past 24 hours.

[@paulbraga4460]

there is the work of Phil Callahan on paramagnetism. surprised that Kempf did not mention it

[@kabbak]

he did 👍🏻

[@paulbraga4460]

the plant and the soil give rise to each other and you and i do. this manganese thing. Kempf interviewed Dr. David C. Johnson of NMSU. he is all over youtube - manganese and iron, 2 of the most difficult minerals to come by because of oxidation as noted by John Kempf in i think the bionutrient food association webinar, are through the roof, up to +1000% increase, with the use of his bioreactor compost that is dominated by fungi...

It’s all about the soil, the best soil is full of time.

[@jcburk]

Love it! Thanks Matt! I'm still using a 'beginner's mind' :-)

[@DIYSolarandWind]

I work 6-7 days a week and I don't get sick. Rock on with fresh foods.

[@tinfoilhatscholar]

Wonderful chat, that I seemed to have missed before now. I guess it will have to suffice for my Matt Powers knowledge download today, since the webinar turns out to be on zoom... Yuk. Just can't use that platform anymore.

[@xaviercruz4763]

Matt, what does that shoe box in the dark copper experiment really translates to and how can i apply it to, say, a plant living in an understory of tall trees so it makes more photosynthesis?

The compulsive need to be right is learned from past probably family learning connections.set yourself free, sometimes the best way to move forward is not to be always right although you might be.they or them must have had their boot on your neck for a very long time. Keep up the good work of like saving the WORLD!
