Good morning! Great story! You continue to amaze me with your stories! Thank you for sharing them! You said you need to get a test done, are you OK? Hope it is good news! See you in the next one Steve!
I have a 57 acres plot, little house, a well. Pity I don't type this from there. While we were three at home, we'd dump all bio stuff from a bag on the soil when getting there. Years later, (in the mean time I've reduced my waste to only one person) whenever I get there, though rarely, weeds are everywhere, much more than before, and fruit trees barely growing.
We have always used old coffee grounds in our garden. When we set the cabbage, tomatoe, potatoe plants we put a little of the grounds in the soil around each plant. We always get bigger and better veggies.
The Costa Rica example isn't the same as grounds. You probably have good soil, but you might want to read the studies about coffee grounds. The consensus is that fresh grounds can inhibit growth (slightly), but composted grounds (or grounds that have been on the ground for a year or longer) are an excellent mulch.
Compost is generally not appreciated until AFTER it's done composting. Until then its just a smelly pile of shit that no one wants to live next to. And, yeah, stuff like that is REALLY GOOD for the environment; which is kinda why we're not.
The main problem with deforestation in tropical rainforest regions is how thin the fertile topsoil layer is: The trees growing in these forests typically have "buttress style" roots, which spread out from the trunk at a shallow angle with respect to the horizontal. They do not penetrate much more than half a metre under the ground, with the vast majority of nutrient-absorbing root surface area less than a quarter of a metre under the surface. This is because the most fertile topsoil layer does not go much deeper than that. This is compared to topsoil in temperate and sub-tropical regions, which is usually at least twice as deep, if not more. Also, the integrity of the shallow tropical topsoil is somewhat fragile, relying on the network of roots from trees and other plants to hold it in place. Much like how riverbank grasses (such as vetiver grass) and reeds with deep roots help to stabilise river banks. When an area of rainforest is clear-cut, the roots eventually rot away, allowing erosion by wind and water to remove the topsoil. This does not happen immediately, so farmers may get a few years of crop growth from the land before the topsoil is depleted. Once this happens, the rate of plant growth in the region will be massively reduced, as will the variety of plants which can even grow there at all. This is because the fertility of the soil layers underneath the shallow topsoil layer is almost negligible. The invasive grasses are on a short list of plants that can grow at all on such poor soils. So yes, the theory that the grasses crowd out tree saplings may be partially correct - but even if those grasses were not there, the tree saplings would not survive for long anyway. The reason they even germinate at all is most likely because they are using nutrients from the seed or nut they grow from - but once that is all gone, they have to rely upon whatever the roots can absorb, which is almost nothing. The grasses can grow only because they have such extensive root systems, so are able to make maximum use of the low concentrations of nutrients in the poor soils.
Thanks for sharing your insight. I knew that rainforests had little fertility and the topsoil was thin, but not the connection to the tree roots being shallow.
Maybe what they need to do is create a massive composting facility in the tropics and use the waste created by the worlds organic farms to generate composted soil.
I once owned a small ranch property in Southern Oregon. The soil around the then new home, was largely clay. I began to apply a variety of quality wood chips, as a top dressing to the clay. Year after year, I continued to reapply the chips. As time passed by, the clay began to transition into a much nicer texture of soil. I also noticed a large increase in the quantity of earthworms. Those earthworm’s were helping to greatly improve the soil, as they tunneled and eliminated castings throughout the soil profile. If you have an increasing population of worms, your soil should be improving.
Brother Bravo 👏. I'm proud to say. I new deep down.. time will heal. It’s actually the first thing I thought. And so far it's proven accurate.. this is a great video.. 😊 great job 👏!!
True and CO2 is essential for Photosynthesis we are actually short of Co2 not choking on it. Talking to plants in your greenhouse is good for them fact not opinion. At 1400 ppm tomatoes are 5 times as many.
The part about the orange peels early on I had seen but you had much more detail and information. This was very entertaining and and upbeat positive video which we need in these times thanks
Composted wood chips and sewage sludge has been tested and used with good benefit to reclaim areas that had topsoil removed .....Oranges are natural and organic why wouldn't it work.
Can you please explain the use of edited photos at 12:35 to 12:58? I knew about these experiments before so I don't doubt the substance, but the weird edited pictures seem sketchy. You can easily see where the edit lines are and the plants that don't change at all in the before and after. I'm just curious if you couldn't find good photos from the actual project so you made some up or if those are what the projects provided or what is going on. I would love to see a quick disclaimer on the screen or explanation for stuff like that. I do think standards should be a little higher in explicitly information videos when presenting edited photos are real facts. Just my thinking! Love the channel and what you're doing.
Unfortunately this is common but restoring the land is not common. Can we get a video on desert cities and how there lack of native plants and trees end up making them boring as all cities have the same god dam trees in usa 🇺🇸
A lesser thought of theory in combo with the nutrients from the peels is humans leaving the place alone for an extended period of time. Joe Rogan spoke about humans putting leftovers & biodegradable items into plastic bags never to be reclaimed by nature. And now we're looking at soil not having enough nutrients anymore.
New technologies created by people who really care about the environment and humanity lead us to reuse our waste. However, their products might be expensive today but tomorrow we all will be able to use them.
A farmer once explained to me that he lets weeds grow around the edges of his gardens and cuts them down before they seed because they aggressively seek out minerals and nitrogen that run off from the garden. He throws the weeds on his compost so it all cycles back in and he liked weeds specifically because of how aggressive and predictable there growth is and it's easy to get seeds if you need to plant some.
One thing that was not mentioned was that the company had to agree to stop using pesticides while growing their product that way they didn't contaminate soil
There`s many way to compost, Due of bears in my area, we save our leaves in the fall to compost with our grass clippings from the summer. We mixed it with our chicken manure. It doesn`t take long to get nice top soil
In Florida when i lived in Okeechobee the farmers could get truckloads of orange peels for the pasture cows from Donald duck orange juice producers. It would stay out there with cows munching on it, then when the cows became tipsy because of fermentation, whatever was left was scrapped up and composted
It is called compost. While soil may have a higher pH, some plants thrive in slightly acidic soil. Additionally, incinerating plastics in a low-oxygen environment can produce a great compost. Furthermore, releasing carbon dioxide under plants allows their roots to absorb macro nutrients more effectively increase more output.
This is an amazing story, thank you for sharing, personally I am familiar with this story, and I believe that it's worth doing so I wish that they would go back to this practice, it was stopped because other companies complaints as the company that did all of the orange peel mulching did not have any cost to dispose of the peels as the others did, I kinda wish that the others would have just went bankrupt LOL talk about "gatekeeping" and "throwing shade", they threw a hissy, and they all could have kept their mouths shut and done the same LOL I don't understand people

There is an insecticide used for termites made from orange oil/extract. The companies that do this advertise that it is safe, non-toxic and extremely effective against termites and certain other organisms. However, not on their website is information that orange oil is extremely flammable, and that the use of this method of termite extermination puts families at risk. I don't know how real this is, as I have never heard of houses burning down because they sprayed for termites. But the use of orange extracts as a fuel source for any numbers of applications seems to be an interesting thing to consider, along with other biodegradable waste. Back in the day, fuel for lanterns and stoves were many, including whale oil, olive oil, and many that I don't even know. Unfortunately, with the ban on burning wood and gas due to environmental damage, we may have to wait a long time before we fully access the potential of waste products for heat and electricity. It seems that the decomposition of organic waste would be enough to provide heat/electricity to major areas. Perhaps I am wrong. Even landfills make heat in the decomposition of the dumped materials.
Bugs dont crap seeds, they eat them. They are completly digesting the seeds unlike birds who actually help spreading seeds. I think you confused them with pollen?

Joe Rogan jokes aside, the reason arable land is disapperaing is because A) we've become more efficient at exploiting it; and B) we breed like rats.

In Florida when i lived in Okeechobee the farmers could get truckloads of orange peels for the pasture cows from Donald duck orange juice producers.
It would stay out there with cows munching on it, then when the cows became tipsy because of fermentation, whatever was left was scrapped up and composted
if you mix orange waste and the coffee waste you'd essentially get a 10x3 compost but much less concentrated than the granular fertilizers.
If no one visit that place for 16 years there will be a forest
So mixing coffee pulp and processed orange peels could be the super compost needed to replenish the plants.
