Dr Elaine thank you 🙏🏿 I learned to grow my own medicine in my apt alone for free during COVID by watching u. Teaming with microbes by ur student is amazing. I owe you big time. Beautiful cannabis and seizure free and growing my own food in NYC. May God continue to bless you for your service
Yes. I have purchased a microscope (it hasn't arrived yet) and have started my compost and have established a source of organic material to make more compost in the Johnson-Su bioreactor. I "got it" at once when I first learned of this biological fact of plant nutrition as I had already discovered our own gut biome and dramatically changed my life by changing diet (which changes the biology of the gut biome, which controls our nutrition, health, and immune system function). Having that real-life experience made learning the concepts of the Soil Food Web extremely easy. Hope to afford some of Dr. Ingham's schooling but it's not looking favorable right now. I'm on a mission. This is the "central purpose" I've been looking for. I want to fix my own soils, then the soils of everyone who will listen, every farmer and every gardener first, then the rest of the world. I even looked at NRCS jobs and found some near me. My degrees don't have any biology in it, but I can learn anything and am pulling every nugget I can from every source of Dr. Ingham's methods. If I can get my soils working quickly enough, maybe I can get started down this path without a certificate from SFW School. Of course I'd rather have one (certificate), as we're all in this together, but the price tag has me over a barrel. All I have to do is put together the bits and listen more to what each successful farmer and scientist shares freely on the topic. I've got the basics, next for the detail work. Only wish I'd learned of these things sooner, and cannot wait until I can review the biology, and improvements of my soils. It's absolutely flabbergasting to me to see thousands of acres under conventional "no till" that are suffering from chemical ag, this many years after Gabe Brown started sharing his experiences. I don't get it. Who doesn't want better soils, products, and more profitability with LESS work?! I want it for all Humanity.
Hey hopefully you see this, I’m trying to learn as much as I can from her methods about regenerating soils, I plan on buying as much poor quality land as I possibly can and regenerating it. Was wondering if you could share any of the information you’ve gathered so far?
@@tomclarke4978 Pay to play is the thing. I've pretty much given up on extracting any more info from Dr. Ingham without throwing down the 3000 grand or so for her school (first level). There's the one video where a gal trained by Dr. Ingham teaches a bit, but it's still introductory stuff. It was the dead of winter when my 'scope got here so I got bored trying to find active soil life. I know it's there now, but I'm busy with other things and I'm not pursuing that now. I'm reading up on LAB. www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2018.02899/full Also I have figured out that a big part of soil revitalization is using compost with seeding-that making good compost is key and getting it into/onto the ground by any means is improving the ground. Plants and animals together (rotational mob grazing) is another way to rapidly improve the land and is where I'm headed because I have pasture-capable land, not tillable. The key is to move the animals with great regularity and to keep them concentrated so that they impact each area before being moved. Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher has lots of videos where he shows exactly how he does this with sheep and cattle. We have to eliminate the use of pesticides and herbicides and water soluble/salt-based fertilizers to get the beautiful and diverse lands with happy animals upon them as Greg has. It's the way of the future if we are to have a future. Good luck.
I take issue with the concept that weeds are a symptom of an imbalance. At best it's not a useful description given that any plant growing where you don't want it is a weed by definition. Noting an abundance of weeds would lead me to believe other plants which I more desire might grow there as well. Identifying how to match plants to the appropriate environment and how to modify an environment to support the life of plants you wish to grow is a worthwhile study. Also, it was actually day 2 as described in Genesis 1:9-12 that we got dry land and grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself. :)
Here it is more that the soil is fine-tuned to the crop rather than to conditions for most weeds. She is already doing what you suggest. Weeds are often niche plants and great indicators of properties within a particular.
100% true....here in Georgia, in a permaculture class, that I took many years ago, I learned that weeds show you actually what is going on in that soil. Certain weeds growing show me there's a lot of fertility. Other Weeds show me places on the land that retain water better, therefore being the places that we would want to plant our figs or muscadines. Certain weeds that require more moisture that grow in shady areas, that's where I might want to plant my hydrangeas, gardenias or Cape Jasmine. Here in hot hot Georgia where you see those wild weedy strawberry plants growing, that's a good indication where you can put your edible strawberries. Fleabane shows me where the soil and sun are perfect.
I live on 5 acres mostly forested with pine, fir and a few white oak. Are these resourses valuable for enhancing a large garden area or should I just let it fall and build the forest floor?
you should be able to do both. Creature IMO from microbes found on your land. I use grass clippings, mowed over leaves and drop and chop plant waste onto my garden for mulch. So many things you can do. check out Jadam
For the people that are on here complaining just remember when someone is telling you information that you don't understand you have to look it up don't just be negative she is telling you to get a dirt sample go somewhere and get it tested see what is in your soil then you can figure out what plants can grow in that condition otherwise you will have to make changes or maybe buy some things but for the most part I have been following her and she has been helping me figure out things that other people have not been able to help me and it's because I actually had to go out and do the work in my own garden that is the key Goldie's or go get a microscope OverWatch a lot more videos and this is out of love I have lost over 50 Orchard trees a few thousand dollars and years of time so just be patient as God is patient
I have been continually listening to Elaine Ingram lectures for the past six months I can’t get enough I love it. This is one of the best I’ve heard so thank you.I do have a question; is urea a salt-based inorganic fertilizer?
In your opinion would it be a benefit for gardeners to have 2 different compost pile. One leaning toward the fungi for lettuce and carrots and the other more bacteria for grass species
given that bacteria dominant compost will select for weeds/early succession plants, I would go for a equal ratio B:F and a fungal dominant pile if doing two piles, a fungal dominant pile will take time regardless of what method of composting you use
I am in Nebraska I wanted to know what can I do to get a patch of my grass to grow its around a tree this us my first time but I have been watching Elaine talk it's awesome to get some of the knowledge
Glad to learn from her...every time there is something new to learn. Her lectures helped me a great deal. However I have been thinking for a while so we have solutions for everything in natural way these dayz but nature sometimes go berserk like in Storms as Thunder strike and burn trees, though the nature covers the spot with another plant I wanna know if there is a way to divert those lightning strikes to the ground before hitting the trees?
Less likely to have antibiotics, better for soil eco system/soil food web to use marine when possible so as to avoid unless you know the source of compost/manure (or both) used in what you're buying
She said we need to check soil compaction. You can use a broadfork to mix in lots good compost. She said you can add mulch to the compost to save money. Just add lots of compost teas that have been checked for balance of fungal and bacterial sources. Clay has the best mineral resources. You need to add Organic Matter to the soil. In the first 3 months I would grow grasses like Elaine said. The roots will go down several feet and break down compaction. Most Organic Matter comes from roots. Just cut the grass and use it as either mulch or compost. The roots decay and increase Organic Matter. Compacted soil cannot retain water. High OM content can retain 5 inches of rainfall. Commercial farms lose fertilizer and amendments after 2 inches of rain. You will need to check the ratio of bacterial to fungal content to determine what to plant. In the early years try brassicas (Kale, cabbage, broccoli). In later years you can increase your fungal content and grow carrots and potatoes. Strawberries need lots of fungal matter. You might need two different sections of your garden if you want to grow different types of fruit and vegetables. If you want to grow blueberries, I can dig through my notes to find the one person in the US who has fungal matter designed specifically for blueberries. I like worms. Red Wigglers are great for a worm bin. Earthworms are for soil. One pound of earthworms will produce a half pound of vermicompost every day. This will transform your garden. Plants have half the number of enzymes humans have. 10,000 vs 20,000. Worms will take eggshells that have been washed and heat sterilized in an oven and give you chelated calcium which eliminates a lot of work the plant does so you can get to more advanced stages of plant development. Plants that are organic in advanced soil with lots of worms will produce more complete proteins and better fats. They produce better forage for animals. And insects cannot eat them because insects can eat amino acids but not complete proteins. I have heard that locusts avoid organic farms in Africa. Also worms that eat eggshells take the chitin and produce chitinase which is an enzymes that eats the exoskeletons of aphids. Aphids according one grower are a sure sign that you have too much Nitrogen in your soil. I cannot afford either a microscope or books and would need to buy other things before I could afford to take her course. I study gardening videos from time to time. One last thought. Do you have a clean water source? Do not compost in chlorinated city water. And fluoride has been known since 1893 to be poisonous to enzymes. Like I said, humans have 20,000 enzymes and plants have 10,000. Bye. PS: I do not have a garden. I want to move out in the country to get a garden. I would like to build a climate battery greenhouse but that is still a dream at this stage.
I have files of notes from gardening lectures this one is in Ag file 2. Elaine said she didn't know of anyone who sold fungi designed for blueberries. I wrote it down in my files. BLUEBERRIES LIKE A SPECIFIC MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI. CORVALIS, OR. PLANT HEALTH LLC. BOB LINDERMAN.BioTerra PLUS - Ericoid Mycorrhizal Mix www.planthealthllc.com/resources.htm to get blueberries to last through 6 pickings (6 weeks) until frost. Mn, B, Ca and K.
@@Horse237 I went to their website but don’t see where they sell it. It seems they’re interested in selling to large blueberry producers. It says: Contact us for a quote. No listing of vendors.
@@Skashoon John Kempf recommended them. They make their own products which are designed to help blueberry growers. They have no list of vendors because they make their own products.
Fungi and mycorrhizal control uptake of nutrients right? As well as buffering alkalinity from bacteria? .... so, I understand most veggies and grow crops stand their place in succession, liking even balance of fungi to bacteria, or slightly bacterial in many cases.... but... If fungi controls ph, nutrient absorption, and regulates the soil ecosystem so well, then is too much fungal dominance still a bad thing for veggies and grow crops? Or are those ratios just the general minimum fungi needed in the ratios needed for those crops? ...in short, can too much fungal dominance be bad for veggie and row crops? If so, why?
Well I did not have the right thermometer and NO microscope. And my compost cought FIRE!..USE THE THERMOMETER. also having my compost almost burn everything I own was the last thing to convince me this class is worth the price
Sorry for your near tragedy. You might be interested in making a Johnson-Su Bioreactor for compost that doesn't overheat. The design prevents that. It also eliminates turning. It does require daily watering (one minute). Dr. Johnson shows how to make one in a video. I doubt a this design could ever combust, as you can see by the methods of loading and maintaining it.
Keep the pile around a cubic meter and no more than 2. Once it gets to 3 cubic meters, that seems to be when they can combust. This is from Geoff Lawton.
Elaine said she did not know of anyone who sold fungi designed specifically for blueberries. I cannot afford a microscope or books let alone Elaine's course but I can take good notes. I have 3 computer documents of notes. This was in Ag File 2. There is a man in Oregon who sells fungi designed especially for blueberries. It took a while to dig this one out. But reading all that material helps build our knowledge. BLUEBERRIES LIKE A SPECIFIC MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI. CORVALIS, OR. PLANT HEALTH LLC.

@@Change-Maker I got those notes by listening to the videos at Advancing Eco Agriculture. They are way beyond anything I have heard anywhere else. Go through a couple of their Playlists and take notes onto a computer file. Lately, I have seen the Johnson Su Bioreactors for composting. 2 types. fungal dominant for pasture and berries made mostly from wood chips and the regular compost for veggies. Fungal dominant takes longer due to fiber. Break it up into small pieces. USe a starter compost tea from an existing Bioreactor to cut the time of the pile from a year or two to 3 months at most.
@@Change-Maker Most of my notes are from the videos at the AEA channel but many are not. Dr Arden Anderson is a medical doctor with a PhD in biophysics. But his first degree was in agriculture. He wants to use paramagnetism to make plants grow quicker which shortens the growing season. This is useful in cold climates and in hot ones. In a hot climate the heat undoes all of the work the plant did to build protein. A shorter season beats both heat and cold at the end of the season. Paramagnetism just means that certain volcanic rocks (basalt) respond to magnetism which is to say they transmit more energy to the plant. That is good. He is a great believer in basalt rock dust which in America is available at $65 a ton US if you buy in bulk. Feed it to worms and soil biology in your compost pile and it becomes both paramagnetic and chelated or bound to amino acids shortening your growing season. If you have a climate battery greenhouse, you can have many more crops a year with basalt rock dust. seaagri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/arden_anderson_interview.pdf Plants have 10,000 enzymes. Humans 75,000. Healthy plants in advanced stages are immune to an attack of locusts. Insects cannot eat complete protein. If you frrd coffee grounds to your worms in the bin, they will give you amino acids that plants can easily absorb.
@@Change-Maker You might want to grow everything in Climate Battery Greenhouses. Your problem might be heat. It could be cold and heat. This video explains how an elderly man built a greenhouse that allows him to raise oranges when he has snow on the ground outside. ua-cam.com/video/ZD_3_gsgsnk/v-deo.html You dig a long trench using a machine. Put in some HVAC type ducts at a depth of 8 feet (or maybe 2. 5 meters). This depends on your area. The world is going into a Grand Solar Minimum which means we are entering a Global Cooling period like the Maunder Minimum (1645 - 1715) when the price of wheat rose 400% in England in some of those years. In 1709 France had a Big Freeze and the ground froze to a depth of one meter. Food prices rose 650%. This was caused by 3 volcanoes in Europe erupting that year. The European Union is developing a combined military force and says they will "defend" their neighbors in those areas of North Africa and the Mideast that used to grow food for Rome 2,000 years ago. Weather patterns change because of the decline in the magnetism of our north and south pole and of the sun as well during a GSM. The solar decline allows more cosmic rays to strike the earth thus energizing volcanoes and earthquake fault zones. The decline in the earth's polar magnetism allows the jet stream to wander about causing droughts and floods. Your nation might suddenly get more rain and hence grow more food. Problem is those pesky European armies. (I am not a Zionist and have opposed every war America has had since 1848.) Back to the greenhouse. In America I can get air at 10 degrees Celsius at 8 feet. That would be free cooling air during the summer heat after the initial cost of digging the trenches. In the winter in America I could heat from 10 degrees to 22 degrees for a lot less money than from freezing. You might have to check with local contractors in your area who have to dig trenches for water pipes to get the right depth.) You will need shade cloths. Independently of the greenhouse issue, I admire the work of Geoff Lawton who has greened the desert. His wife is an Arab. She has a place in Jordan. ua-cam.com/video/9VGHoxpYlWQ/v-deo.html
I learned compost from my grandpa and he learned it from his grandpa. I don't think Elaine Ingham had anything to do with that, lol. Of course, we didn't know the science behind it so it's cool to know more than just "do this it makes plants happy."
The webinars are great but I feel like there is a lack of scientific rigour on how the results are presented, leading to a dialogue that invites people to believe on a miraculous solution. It's only centered in their own community. I don't see other authors or articles entering the conversation. What about genome studies to access all biodiversity living in soil. Microscope is a great tool but it's only giving you a very small insight on the soil biodiversity and complexity of interectactions taking place.
Who is going to pay for the scientific study? The people doing this have to be busy with practical things, because it’s hard work. As for sequencing microbe types, there are millions of different species, and again, who is going to pay? It’s not a proprietary thing. It’s hard to make money off research of things like this. The government absolutely should be doing this. Same with human gut biology. Problem is, they’re competing with massive corporations who are more that willing and able to stifle that research. Just my 2 cents.
I’ve listened to 6 hours of Elaine talk on various videos and have yet to hear any useful information on how to replicate what she does in rehabilitating degraded soils. Elaine obviously has a wealth of knowledge but purposefully leaves out any information on how to replicate her processes. Her website has zero useful information but is instead filled with ways to take your money. Yes, the data shows that compost tea works, I just wish she didn’t act so scammy about it. Her soils book on Amazon has so many bad reviews explaining how she’s overcharging for poorly made products as well.
Jennifer G hi, no I have not heard or read anything on attending her classes. I actually found a past colleague of hers at www.microbeorganics.com/#So_You_Wanna_Build_A_Compost_Tea_Brewer who puts all the information out there and where I got my compost tea recipe for free 😬
Elaine has clearly spent years acquiring and refining her knowledge base. She is perfectly entitled to charge for that knowledge. If you paid attention to the webcast the other four hosts have either done or are doing her course, two of who said it had changed theirs lives. Cant think of a better recommendation.
I am not agree completely of that topic cause plant uses all elements in inorganic plant take ammonia nitrate potasium calcium not organic case inorganic we can make NPK compost and uses compost tea and biofertlizer and earth elemants
This is great information that will never help anyone at scale. The problem is; the online class you are trying to funnel everyone is to expensive and too involved. Farmers don't want to get a master's degree in soil food web; they just need to know what to do. Fertilizers and herbicides are tax deductible because government regulation is made to support the conventional. The money you are saving, requires input of money directly from ones pocket. Sad.
What is expensive? The seeds to grow a crop will be ,$50 bucks for cover crop. They die and produce mulch for the winter overstay. In the spring you plant in between and do it all over again chopping and drop every crop. The soil can also be a ended with free food left overs and leaves! So what is so expensive? Paul Gauchi has a great garden with little input( financial) and he even gives food away to people and feeds 40 or so chickens all year round! So you need to do your homework!
Svetla Nikolova, I’m not a lady. You asked what is expensive. The other commenter was talking about how the classes are too expensive I’m sure.

Same here!
I think of urea as an high salt, high nitrogen, ingredient to an organic fertilizer such as compost or compost tea.

Just cut the grass and use it as either mulch or compost. The roots decay and increase Organic Matter. Compacted soil cannot retain water. High OM content can retain 5 inches of rainfall. Commercial farms lose fertilizer and amendments after 2 inches of rain.
You will need to check the ratio of bacterial to fungal content to determine what to plant. In the early years try brassicas (Kale, cabbage, broccoli). In later years you can increase your fungal content and grow carrots and potatoes. Strawberries need lots of fungal matter. You might need two different sections of your garden if you want to grow different types of fruit and vegetables. If you want to grow blueberries, I can dig through my notes to find the one person in the US who has fungal matter designed specifically for blueberries.
I like worms. Red Wigglers are great for a worm bin. Earthworms are for soil. One pound of earthworms will produce a half pound of vermicompost every day. This will transform your garden. Plants have half the number of enzymes humans have. 10,000 vs 20,000. Worms will take eggshells that have been washed and heat sterilized in an oven and give you chelated calcium which eliminates a lot of work the plant does so you can get to more advanced stages of plant development. Plants that are organic in advanced soil with lots of worms will produce more complete proteins and better fats. They produce better forage for animals. And insects cannot eat them because insects can eat amino acids but not complete proteins. I have heard that locusts avoid organic farms in Africa. Also worms that eat eggshells take the chitin and produce chitinase which is an enzymes that eats the exoskeletons of aphids. Aphids according one grower are a sure sign that you have too much Nitrogen in your soil.
I cannot afford either a microscope or books and would need to buy other things before I could afford to take her course. I study gardening videos from time to time. One last thought. Do you have a clean water source? Do not compost in chlorinated city water. And fluoride has been known since 1893 to be poisonous to enzymes. Like I said, humans have 20,000 enzymes and plants have 10,000.
Bye.
PS: I do not have a garden. I want to move out in the country to get a garden. I would like to build a climate battery greenhouse but that is still a dream at this stage.
I have files of notes from gardening lectures this one is in Ag file 2. Elaine said she didn't know of anyone who sold fungi designed for blueberries. I wrote it down in my files.

Horse237 I couldn’t have said it any better! Hat’s off to you!
@@Horse237 I went to their website but don’t see where they sell it. It seems they’re interested in selling to large blueberry producers. It says: Contact us for a quote. No listing of vendors.
@@Skashoon John Kempf recommended them. They make their own products which are designed to help blueberry growers. They have no list of vendors because they make their own products.
Fungi and mycorrhizal control uptake of nutrients right? As well as buffering alkalinity from bacteria? .... so, I understand most veggies and grow crops stand their place in succession, liking even balance of fungi to bacteria, or slightly bacterial in many cases.... but...
If fungi controls ph, nutrient absorption, and regulates the soil ecosystem so well, then is too much fungal dominance still a bad thing for veggies and grow crops? Or are those ratios just the general minimum fungi needed in the ratios needed for those crops?
...in short, can too much fungal dominance be bad for veggie and row crops? If so, why?
Is there anyone certified in Texas?
There's a lab in AR and that's the only thing on SFW maps for my region.
If I throw my phone away I can't hear the rest of this video.
does this class on soil life occur in Canada?
danny s, I believe it’s online.
Well I did not have the right thermometer and NO microscope. And my compost cought FIRE!..USE THE THERMOMETER. also having my compost almost burn everything I own was the last thing to convince me this class is worth the price
Sorry for your near tragedy. You might be interested in making a Johnson-Su Bioreactor for compost that doesn't overheat. The design prevents that. It also eliminates turning. It does require daily watering (one minute). Dr. Johnson shows how to make one in a video. I doubt a this design could ever combust, as you can see by the methods of loading and maintaining it.
Keep the pile around a cubic meter and no more than 2. Once it gets to 3 cubic meters, that seems to be when they can combust. This is from Geoff Lawton.
Elaine said she did not know of anyone who sold fungi designed specifically for blueberries. I cannot afford a microscope or books let alone Elaine's course but I can take good notes. I have 3 computer documents of notes. This was in Ag File 2. There is a man in Oregon who sells fungi designed especially for blueberries. It took a while to dig this one out. But reading all that material helps build our knowledge.

I know what you mean, I am in a similar situation, would you be kind enough to share your notes?
@@Change-Maker I got those notes by listening to the videos at Advancing Eco Agriculture. They are way beyond anything I have heard anywhere else. Go through a couple of their Playlists and take notes onto a computer file.
Lately, I have seen the Johnson Su Bioreactors for composting. 2 types. fungal dominant for pasture and berries made mostly from wood chips and the regular compost for veggies. Fungal dominant takes longer due to fiber. Break it up into small pieces. USe a starter compost tea from an existing Bioreactor to cut the time of the pile from a year or two to 3 months at most.
@@Change-Maker Most of my notes are from the videos at the AEA channel but many are not. Dr Arden Anderson is a medical doctor with a PhD in biophysics. But his first degree was in agriculture. He wants to use paramagnetism to make plants grow quicker which shortens the growing season. This is useful in cold climates and in hot ones. In a hot climate the heat undoes all of the work the plant did to build protein. A shorter season beats both heat and cold at the end of the season.
Paramagnetism just means that certain volcanic rocks (basalt) respond to magnetism which is to say they transmit more energy to the plant. That is good.
He is a great believer in basalt rock dust which in America is available at $65 a ton US if you buy in bulk. Feed it to worms and soil biology in your compost pile and it becomes both paramagnetic and chelated or bound to amino acids shortening your growing season. If you have a climate battery greenhouse, you can have many more crops a year with basalt rock dust.

Plants have 10,000 enzymes. Humans 75,000. Healthy plants in advanced stages are immune to an attack of locusts. Insects cannot eat complete protein. If you frrd coffee grounds to your worms in the bin, they will give you amino acids that plants can easily absorb.
@@Change-Maker You might want to grow everything in Climate Battery Greenhouses. Your problem might be heat. It could be cold and heat. This video explains how an elderly man built a greenhouse that allows him to raise oranges when he has snow on the ground outside.

You dig a long trench using a machine. Put in some HVAC type ducts at a depth of 8 feet (or maybe 2. 5 meters). This depends on your area. The world is going into a Grand Solar Minimum which means we are entering a Global Cooling period like the Maunder Minimum (1645 - 1715) when the price of wheat rose 400% in England in some of those years. In 1709 France had a Big Freeze and the ground froze to a depth of one meter. Food prices rose 650%. This was caused by 3 volcanoes in Europe erupting that year.
The European Union is developing a combined military force and says they will "defend" their neighbors in those areas of North Africa and the Mideast that used to grow food for Rome 2,000 years ago. Weather patterns change because of the decline in the magnetism of our north and south pole and of the sun as well during a GSM. The solar decline allows more cosmic rays to strike the earth thus energizing volcanoes and earthquake fault zones. The decline in the earth's polar magnetism allows the jet stream to wander about causing droughts and floods. Your nation might suddenly get more rain and hence grow more food. Problem is those pesky European armies. (I am not a Zionist and have opposed every war America has had since 1848.)
Back to the greenhouse. In America I can get air at 10 degrees Celsius at 8 feet. That would be free cooling air during the summer heat after the initial cost of digging the trenches. In the winter in America I could heat from 10 degrees to 22 degrees for a lot less money than from freezing. You might have to check with local contractors in your area who have to dig trenches for water pipes to get the right depth.) You will need shade cloths.
Independently of the greenhouse issue, I admire the work of Geoff Lawton who has greened the desert. His wife is an Arab. She has a place in Jordan.

Wow.
I learned compost from my grandpa and he learned it from his grandpa. I don't think Elaine Ingham had anything to do with that, lol. Of course, we didn't know the science behind it so it's cool to know more than just "do this it makes plants happy."
India ie Bharat Hi to your team
The webinars are great but I feel like there is a lack of scientific rigour on how the results are presented, leading to a dialogue that invites people to believe on a miraculous solution. It's only centered in their own community. I don't see other authors or articles entering the conversation. What about genome studies to access all biodiversity living in soil. Microscope is a great tool but it's only giving you a very small insight on the soil biodiversity and complexity of interectactions taking place.
Who is going to pay for the scientific study? The people doing this have to be busy with practical things, because it’s hard work.
As for sequencing microbe types, there are millions of different species, and again, who is going to pay? It’s not a proprietary thing. It’s hard to make money off research of things like this.
The government absolutely should be doing this. Same with human gut biology. Problem is, they’re competing with massive corporations who are more that willing and able to stifle that research.
Just my 2 cents.
me, virgin, but well aware of Elains work...Brilliant to say the least.
I’ve listened to 6 hours of Elaine talk on various videos and have yet to hear any useful information on how to replicate what she does in rehabilitating degraded soils. Elaine obviously has a wealth of knowledge but purposefully leaves out any information on how to replicate her processes. Her website has zero useful information but is instead filled with ways to take your money. Yes, the data shows that compost tea works, I just wish she didn’t act so scammy about it. Her soils book on Amazon has so many bad reviews explaining how she’s overcharging for poorly made products as well.
Very true. She is behind money.
Have you heard from anyone who was pleased with her soil food web school course?
Jennifer G hi, no I have not heard or read anything on attending her classes. I actually found a past colleague of hers at www.microbeorganics.com/#So_You_Wanna_Build_A_Compost_Tea_Brewer who puts all the information out there and where I got my compost tea recipe for free 😬
About one hr into this, I noticed that i havent learned anything some pot head has already told me on UA-cam. Total waste of time
Elaine has clearly spent years acquiring and refining her knowledge base. She is perfectly entitled to charge for that knowledge. If you paid attention to the webcast the other four hosts have either done or are doing her course, two of who said it had changed theirs lives. Cant think of a better recommendation.

This is great information that will never help anyone at scale. The problem is; the online class you are trying to funnel everyone is to expensive and too involved. Farmers don't want to get a master's degree in soil food web; they just need to know what to do. Fertilizers and herbicides are tax deductible because government regulation is made to support the conventional. The money you are saving, requires input of money directly from ones pocket. Sad.
Toooo expencive
What is expensive? The seeds to grow a crop will be ,$50 bucks for cover crop. They die and produce mulch for the winter overstay. In the spring you plant in between and do it all over again chopping and drop every crop. The soil can also be a ended with free food left overs and leaves! So what is so expensive? Paul Gauchi has a great garden with little input( financial) and he even gives food away to people and feeds 40 or so chickens all year round! So you need to do your homework!
Svetla Nikolova, what’s so expensive? The classes.
@@xxpowwowbluexx what you Talking about classes lady? i am talking about seeds
Svetla Nikolova, I’m not a lady. You asked what is expensive. The other commenter was talking about how the classes are too expensive I’m sure.
Not as useful as it could have been. She basically told us that if we buy her online course we will be able to get these results...I just looked at the other talk and it included the sort of details I was looking for...
