You mentioned the odor of methane. As far as I know, methane is an odorless gas. I've learned that the associated odor is caused by the ”nasty” byproducts mainly from sulfuric sources. At room temperature and standard pressure, methane is a colorless, odorless gas. The familiar smell of natural gas as used in homes is achieved by the addition of an odorant, usually blends containing tert-butylthiol, as a safety measure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane
Snow and ice due to waters molecular structure acts like a continental quilt. It holds a lot of air between its solid state structure. Thats why it protects from the more extreme cold temperatures and fluctuations in temperature, allowing rivers to run and plants etc to survive under it.
True. Ordinary snow also forms a 'quilt', holding temps at around 32F which is why burying your water jug in snow when camping helps keep it fluid. Upside down keeps the ice film in the jug forming away from the cap so you can still drink it in the morning without fighting with the cap just to get the jug open. It's also how homes can be built with ice blocks in the arctic circle.
@dandeleona4760 if it snows too early here in the Arctic, the sea ice won't free,e thick enough to carry vehicles (snow machines). This can delay the natives ability to get to where the caribou are for subsistence hunting.
Plants also gain nutrients from their leaves that is why so many people around the world use foliar feeds. Foliar feeding is a technique of feeding plants by applying liquid fertilizer directly to their leaves. Plants are able to absorb essential elements through their leaves. The absorption takes place through their stomata and also through their epidermis. The best way to feed plants is to use a combination of both methods.
That is true, but the foliar feeding isn't as effective as a root feeding, you can think of it as rubbing nutrients on your skin as opposed to eating it directly, your body is going to process it better and faster if it is consumed

I have a question.. I was watching a video regarding Jadem gardening practices. During one part of the video there was two farms that were using aerobic and anaerobic teas to fertilize their soil. The point that they made was that at the deeper points of soil that become anaerobic also include metabolizing at that same point and that it helps to create deeper soil fertility allowing a deeper root system for the plant.Do you have anything to share about this?
Is there more of this? Really good material I wish more had been discussed for failed compost and what to do with it. Also really enjoying the Dan Kittredge series I hope you can get those all up soon

@@hehay10 I heard somewhere that the worms will eventually reproduce enough to take on all the food they're being given. But I think it takes a little while for them to get adjusted and start breeding. As long as it's moist and within the right temperature ranges. Also they have to be the right worms. I was going to dig up some earth worms to throw in my very poorly constructed compost pile but then I read they need special worms. So I just built the pile to be connected to the soil and hopefully it will attract the right type on its own. Thanks for replying with an update!

You guys need to check out the Joraform composter. It's a totally different way of composting. The Joraform composter is an insulted metal tumbler composter that the Swiss designed. It is expensive but it has so many advantages. It allows the backyard composter to easily compost food scraps including meat and dairy because it's metal and rats and mice can't get in it. They recommend putting wood stove pellets in there with the kitchen scraps to balance the moisture and C:N ratio with the kitchen scraps. You have to turn it every day to keep it hot (roll it a couple times). They recommend you add small amounts of material daily. I think it gets hot so quickly because it is insulated. I have composted for 30 years and have looked down my nose at tumbler composers. But I saw a video and decided to buy one and I'm telling you, this was a game changer for me. It's not perfect, nothing is. I've had it for 6 months now and material wants to stick to the insulation. Everything has to be in small pieces. The motion of the tumbler makes little compost balls that I have to break up a bit. But it makes compost very quickly and saves a ton of back braking labor. I don't have a microscope, so I can't tell you what effect it has on the microbes. I don't have any affiliation with the manufacturer or benefit in any way from telling you about this composter. After the first of the year I think I'm going to buy another one and start composing my neighbors kitchen waste.
I have an area of the garden where I throw kitchen scraps and occasionally some dirty, its under the trees. I wonder if the decomposed stuff on the bottom of that now, about 3 feet tall pile, is good for anything. I know its packed with earthworms. Will it hurt my garden is I got some of the stuff from the bottom of it and place by my plants?
How do I adapt this for a tropical place like India? What changes do I make. Also there is a popular method of composting called NADEP. Your comments on it.

I find it easier to compost anaerobic.If aerobic the turning in big piles is time consuming and expensive.If you don't turn,perfect. We dont turn and if aerobic the water applied is only to cool down the pile. Heat is energy going away (good if you don't add your own bacteria) and to keep bacteria alive in the pile will give you a much faster composting process. I treat it with EM and close it air tight. Few weeks and its gold :)
I have a worm bin and just keep throwing organic matter in. Its just a tote but there must be thousands of worms in there. I wonder if i could use that stuff for compost tea?

Yep she's a witch.....I mean composter. (cough*) 😂 Sorry just an observation. Not the first composter to give me that vibe. So full of knowledge. The passion is beautiful.
I wish someone could help me out. Dr. Elaine Ingham, I believe, always says aerobic soil conditions ONLY. Then I see the very popular Japaneses EM Bokashi composting method, which is anaerobic. Also, aren't fermented foods (I believe all anaerobic) extremely healthy for our gut bacteria. If our guts are inoculated by the food we eat, then the bacteria must pass through our acidic digestive system. All that must be anaerobic as well. Hoping someone could clarify all this for me and others. So many questions... so little time.
fermentation and our gut digestion are both aerobic processes, hence deep breeding helps you lower your gut acidity and you feed your brain directly. our muscles on the other hand have anaerobic processes.
Good point! There are even instructions on how to make an anaerobic compost by using effective microorganisms. Those composts are even being compacted on purpose. It seems to work out fine. Fermentation in my regard is superior to hot composting. Also, you do not have to turn it at all. It is less work. I did my compost that way and am very happy with the results. No bad smells at all.
Phosphene gas smells like rotting apples or pears specifically; very sweet fermented alcoholic smelling. It can be a deadly gas, if there is a break cleaner being sprayed near arc rays (like from electric arc welding), phosphene gas will be produced. As a welder, I have experience, the gas is very bad for you.

I remember my grandmother burying fish parts from a cleaning in the alleys between the planted rows in her garden is that wrong? I have also seen many farmers burying their fish parts the same way?
It's the ideal thing! Bury any organic waste and it will be reused by living beings including the plants, the problem is that animals will be attracted to them too, like dogs and raccoons and they can make a mess.
Excellent - I like that you don't appear to get as frustrated as I do when trying to explain this shit to people lol. One thing though - when you explain making compost tea's you must emphasize why they can only use rain water as opposed to tap water.
The only reason not to use tap water is because of chlorine from what I've heard. If you double filter your water, that's rarely a problem, in my experience. If your pile is composting then obviously there is adequate bacteria. Maybe there would be more, initially, with rainwater, or distilled water, but you'd need to have quite a bit of chlorine on your water to sterilize your soil. Just leaving water stand in an open bucket will evaporate almost all the chlorine in 24 hours anyway.
Overall a reasonably decent presentation. Please keep the airy-fairy stuff to a minimum. Methane is an odorless, tasteless gas. Odor is added by the utility companies so it can be detected. When you mention alcohol - please specify what alcohols you are referring to. There are many types - which are named by the quantity of carbon atoms attached to the OH group. At the very end, you dismissed the older lady who, in my humble opinion, just wanted a little help brainstorming for materials sourcing.
Is there a difference between corn gluten you mentioned for feeding the microbes and regular corn meal you can get at the grocery store? Can the corn meal you mention be gluten free?
Microbes (bacteria etc) love sugars. Think of baking, brewing or wild yeast, that grows best with food (sugars) and warmth. Starch converts into sugars - which is why starch in corn will work for feeding microbes...although i'd stay away from using corn as a source of starch, as so much corn is genetically engineered these days. There are numerous other things you could use. Many veges will have high levels of starch/sugars. Even leafy green plants can have some sweetness to them. Fruit is clearly a good one, as many fruits provide large amounts of sugars/starches. By adding any of the above, you will also be adding minerals & micro-nutrients. Obviously, different balances of minerals & nutrients and different amounts of minerals & nutrients, are contained in different plants - so if you can tailor it to suit the nutrient requirements of the specific plants if necessary. If you're not so focused on multiplying microbes and just need to change the ph quickly, then making a simple cider vinegar is a great way to increase acidity in the soil and add minerals & micro-nutrients, with much of it already being in a bio-available form. Directly composting sugars/starches as mentioned, will also pass through a 'alcohol' stage and into a 'vinegar' stage' also increasing acidity of the soil and will provide sugars/starches to the local soil microbes prior to that, whereas cider vinegar has already converted the starch into sugar, the sugar into alcohols/other volatiles and then into vinegar, which if added at that stage, doesn't really have any sugars for the bacteria to feed on. One of the most important things seems to be: What kinds of microbes are you feeding? Some are beneficial, some are not. That also depends on the plant, stage of growth, soil ph etc. I've used store bought 'organic compost' before, where all the plants grown in it experienced 'damping off' and had dramatically decreased growth rates and root development. Many were completely wiped out! And I suspect the water didn't help, as it's quite alkaline these days and contains alkali metals which can stunt growth and lead to plants being overcome by microbes, as the 'plant circulation' is essentially blocked. It seems that all countries are being sprayed with alkali metals (and other stuff) from geoengineering/weather modification/solar radiation management programs etc...whatever you want to call it - It's happening and it effects all life. The biggest challenge is overcoming that... it's not easy to clean the soils of alkali metal...even if you get close to neutral ph and metals precipitate (as solids), they may not be absorbed as quickly by plants, but it's still in the soil and is an absolute nightmare to remove. And guess what... They developed/are developing GMO's such as 'aluminum tolerant sorghum' - which will survive and thrive in toxic conditions where many organic plants would wither away. The metals that those GMO plants absorb, are then transferred to whoever eats the plant, or are transferred into the soil in compost. Long story short - they're deliberately manufacturing conditions that organic plants will greatly suffer from. Whilst releasing their preconceived GMO solution, to the problem they are creating... Most people don't/won't see the connection - but it's as simple as joining the dots... And still, it's just the tip of the iceberg as they say. We're gonna have to give it all we've got, if we and other life-forms are to make it through this loud/silent war. They're replacing us all with synthetics... So it's a wise decision to look deeply into organic gardening among other things. And not a moment is to soon. Best wishes Kyle

@@jenniferg6818 chelation is the binding of metals by negatively charged organic molecules (in this case organic matter in the form of humic acid). A common chelating agent is EDTA. Some chelating agents prefer different metals to others and so they hold on to some tighter and make them biologically unavailable in the soil. This is important for heavy metals like Lead and Arsenic which organic matter binds very tightly and makes unavailable to plants and animals. A chelating agent like EDTA tends to prefer iron or zinc.
I am wanting to build a bioreactor to produce methane for various uses however I'm concerned about the bi-product ie the digestate which some taught the use as fertilizer. However, after watching a few of
Can you find a source for this quote? At 19:28 “If everybody who grazes were doing rotational grazing properly, it would take five years to get back to pre-industrial levels of carbon dioxide in the sky.”
I like to add to this discussion, if the microbe-rich biomes create lots of biproducts of gas , and in the oil industry they use carbon dioxide to create fracking for oil then what is the ratio of efficentivy of using micro-rich biomes to create gases enough to frack the ground below since it's essential they break the ground for the roots to grow? I get it on the top soil it does not go deep but what if this farm was 1,000ft deep would the gases and the smell be enough to frack the ground? I seen some patents on google patents showing using micro-rich fungi to create pressured gas chambers but I have yet to see it in video on youtube possibly due to the current monopoly on it but i don't think it would hold up in the courts as a monopoly since it's a natural process done for thousands of years
This is why we need science more than ever. But then, when has woo-woo horse apples ever been left far behind even when debunked? Stick to science and flourish. You can still be spiritual that way.
Lady, the vibrations you mention is called sunlight, aka UV rays. Good information over all, but really, it is not some mystical force that plants feed on, it's sunlight
Inseperable Generation actually vibration is the reaction to the energy, and it's transferred from one element to another resulting i an energy discharge, don't overcomplicate it, and just vibration doesn't describe photosynthesis, saying sunlight is the common men language which we all should be able to understand.
There more than sunlight to friend ,there are vibrations, frequencies , Connections that we have no idea of and knowledge of everything in this universe is connected in ways we don't know of and realize.
Except that she said specifically California vegetables. You know, a state worh notorious for its naturally high Na content in the soil that the plants take up.
@@TheSamba37 That's the right depth. Even the big valley oaks in central CA have the majority of their roots in the top 3 feet of soil. Trees will send out roots as much as 2 1/2 times their height but that's horizontally, not deep.
Yea, even coast redwoods typically only go about 6 ft deep. Most large trees have lateral roots, not deep tap roots.... Also, biodynamics is basically snake oil.
According to Forestry Protective Association guys, they have another name but senior moment, Douglas Fir is shallow rooted, which is why they can dry out and can burn so easy. So where does one find the truth?
Douglas Fir is pretty vunerable to drought like the forestry guys say, but when they have formed a mature canopy its very shaded, which greatly helps in keeping the water from evaporating
19:30 Wait, what?! What kind of grazing practice would get our atmosphere back to pre-industrial levels in 5 years? Does anyone have more information about what she's talking about?
Steve Slade Thanks. I had no idea rotational grazing had benefits beyond lower feed cost. This is the first I've heard anyone suggest meat production could have a negative carbon impact. I'm a bit shocked. Thank you for the reading list.
With the billions of animals raised annually for meat consumption, rotational grazing ("Make the Desert Bloom" project) would be massive carbon sink. Is it feasible over the course of five years? Probably not. But the grasslands supported billions of migratory animals on all major continents and desertification has taken their place. I believe this method could be mimicked and take a big chunk out of emissions and economically, strengthen food production. With all of that foliage thriving with its carbon-capture along with composting on the spot, it's plausibility is far greater than reversing energy demands on fossil fuels.
I especially recommend Allan Savory's TED talk "How to green the world..." and Joel Salatin (grass farmer specializing in DAILY rotation of cattle!) for more info on these revolutionary grazing methods.
Never got compost to compost...im pushing 80 and its harder than i can deal with i guess...so i just have piles of things rotting......and bury things...
So I'm curious, JADAM is a very successful method of gardening, and it literally uses anaerobic extraction methods to make fertilizer, this video contradics the JADAM method, the question is then why if the JADAM method is successful is this method successful as well?
Perhaps the 'success' element is in both, while both take exclusive credit for success. We probably need to throw out a wider intellectual net to explain things accurately.
No expert, purely personal opinion - I think the fertiliser is meant to be a liquid feed that feeds the plants directly. Elaine Ingham’s methods are more for feeding soil biology so that they can do their work of making nutrients boo-available to the plants. Anaerobic bacteria may do a better job of breaking stuff down into a liquid mush with nutrients in a form directly available to the plant.
Soil is rich in oxygen only the first feet deep, and incrisingly anaerobic deeper down; so anaerobic microorganisms are very important to form deep healty soil. That is what Jadam does.
This is the reason ammonium nitrate is not necessary. The plant has all the nitrogen necessary from the air. Ammonium nitrate short circuits the ability of the plant to connect to the soil, this is what humic salts do. Rigorous scientific studies have show that 95% of a plants tissue comes directly from the atmosphere.

I live in a land of SNOW. And no, the earth is NOT frozen beneath the snow. Initially the ground freezes, but then the snow comes and insulates the earth beneath. Since we always have geothermal heat, it melts the thin layer of frozen earth and because the snow is there, it’s extremely wet soil. I’ve dug into my garden many times through two feet of snow, and it is NEVER frozen solid. The only place that freezes is where we walk or remove the snow... then the frost can and will go down many feet. No one has ever told me this, but having worked thirty years as a geologist, and twice that as a gardener, I just put 2 + 2 and got 4... and I think I’m correct.

Thank you for sharing openly. Greatly appreciate the knowledge 🙏🏼

what is the name of the famous person that adds mychorrizal fungi to grass and plants? hendrigues what?
I wish someone could help me out. Dr. Elaine Ingham, I believe, always says aerobic soil conditions ONLY. Then I see the very popular Japaneses EM Bokashi composting method, which is anaerobic. Also, aren't fermented foods (I believe all anaerobic) extremely healthy for our gut bacteria. If our guts are inoculated by the food we eat, then the bacteria must pass through our acidic digestive system. All that must be anaerobic as well. Hoping someone could clarify all this for me and others. So many questions... so little time.
Try David the good he shows you how to compost everything.
I was wondering the same thing
fermentation and our gut digestion are both aerobic processes, hence deep breeding helps you lower your gut acidity and you feed your brain directly. our muscles on the other hand have anaerobic processes.
Good point! There are even instructions on how to make an anaerobic compost by using effective microorganisms. Those composts are even being compacted on purpose. It seems to work out fine. Fermentation in my regard is superior to hot composting. Also, you do not have to turn it at all. It is less work. I did my compost that way and am very happy with the results. No bad smells at all.

You're an amazing teacher.
Phosphene gas smells like rotting apples or pears specifically; very sweet fermented alcoholic smelling. It can be a deadly gas, if there is a break cleaner being sprayed near arc rays (like from electric arc welding), phosphene gas will be produced. As a welder, I have experience, the gas is very bad for you.
Any updates on the mystery rainwater spheres!?

I remember my grandmother burying fish parts from a cleaning in the alleys between the planted rows in her garden is that wrong? I have also seen many farmers burying their fish parts the same way?
I just learned a great deal on that using sardines covered with coffee grounds! It seems very beneficial.
It's the ideal thing! Bury any organic waste and it will be reused by living beings including the plants, the problem is that animals will be attracted to them too, like dogs and raccoons and they can make a mess.
@@fenrirgg Seems the key is to cover anything burried in used coffee grounds to deter scavengers.
Fish is great for using in the garden
is this a good idea 😉😉😉

Compost helps plants absorb vibrations from the cosmos. Right.
Amazing
Excellent - I like that you don't appear to get as frustrated as I do when trying to explain this shit to people lol. One thing though - when you explain making compost tea's you must emphasize why they can only use rain water as opposed to tap water.
The only reason not to use tap water is because of chlorine from what I've heard. If you double filter your water, that's rarely a problem, in my experience. If your pile is composting then obviously there is adequate bacteria. Maybe there would be more, initially, with rainwater, or distilled water, but you'd need to have quite a bit of chlorine on your water to sterilize your soil. Just leaving water stand in an open bucket will evaporate almost all the chlorine in 24 hours anyway.
Thanks
Fantastic!!
Overall a reasonably decent presentation. Please keep the airy-fairy stuff to a minimum. Methane is an odorless, tasteless gas. Odor is added by the utility companies so it can be detected. When you mention alcohol - please specify what alcohols you are referring to. There are many types - which are named by the quantity of carbon atoms attached to the OH group. At the very end, you dismissed the older lady who, in my humble opinion, just wanted a little help brainstorming for materials sourcing.
Can you use mushroom compost in your compost?
Is there a difference between corn gluten you mentioned for feeding the microbes and regular corn meal you can get at the grocery store? Can the corn meal you mention be gluten free?
Microbes (bacteria etc) love sugars. Think of baking, brewing or wild yeast, that grows best with food (sugars) and warmth. Starch converts into sugars - which is why starch in corn will work for feeding microbes...although i'd stay away from using corn as a source of starch, as so much corn is genetically engineered these days. There are numerous other things you could use. Many veges will have high levels of starch/sugars. Even leafy green plants can have some sweetness to them. Fruit is clearly a good one, as many fruits provide large amounts of sugars/starches. By adding any of the above, you will also be adding minerals & micro-nutrients. Obviously, different balances of minerals & nutrients and different amounts of minerals & nutrients, are contained in different plants - so if you can tailor it to suit the nutrient requirements of the specific plants if necessary. If you're not so focused on multiplying microbes and just need to change the ph quickly, then making a simple cider vinegar is a great way to increase acidity in the soil and add minerals & micro-nutrients, with much of it already being in a bio-available form. Directly composting sugars/starches as mentioned, will also pass through a 'alcohol' stage and into a 'vinegar' stage' also increasing acidity of the soil and will provide sugars/starches to the local soil microbes prior to that, whereas cider vinegar has already converted the starch into sugar, the sugar into alcohols/other volatiles and then into vinegar, which if added at that stage, doesn't really have any sugars for the bacteria to feed on.
One of the most important things seems to be: What kinds of microbes are you feeding? Some are beneficial, some are not. That also depends on the plant, stage of growth, soil ph etc.
I've used store bought 'organic compost' before, where all the plants grown in it experienced 'damping off' and had dramatically decreased growth rates and root development. Many were completely wiped out! And I suspect the water didn't help, as it's quite alkaline these days and contains alkali metals which can stunt growth and lead to plants being overcome by microbes, as the 'plant circulation' is essentially blocked. It seems that all countries are being sprayed with alkali metals (and other stuff) from geoengineering/weather modification/solar radiation management programs etc...whatever you want to call it - It's happening and it effects all life. The biggest challenge is overcoming that... it's not easy to clean the soils of alkali metal...even if you get close to neutral ph and metals precipitate (as solids), they may not be absorbed as quickly by plants, but it's still in the soil and is an absolute nightmare to remove.
And guess what... They developed/are developing GMO's such as 'aluminum tolerant sorghum' - which will survive and thrive in toxic conditions where many organic plants would wither away. The metals that those GMO plants absorb, are then transferred to whoever eats the plant, or are transferred into the soil in compost.
Long story short - they're deliberately manufacturing conditions that organic plants will greatly suffer from. Whilst releasing their preconceived GMO solution, to the problem they are creating... Most people don't/won't see the connection - but it's as simple as joining the dots... And still, it's just the tip of the iceberg as they say. We're gonna have to give it all we've got, if we and other life-forms are to make it through this loud/silent war. They're replacing us all with synthetics...
So it's a wise decision to look deeply into organic gardening among other things. And not a moment is to soon.
Best wishes

Electromagentism has nothing to do with taking up dangerous metals. It is chelation based off electronegativity and ion affinity of the humates.
Could you explain in simpler terms?
@@jenniferg6818 chelation is the binding of metals by negatively charged organic molecules (in this case organic matter in the form of humic acid). A common chelating agent is EDTA. Some chelating agents prefer different metals to others and so they hold on to some tighter and make them biologically unavailable in the soil. This is important for heavy metals like Lead and Arsenic which organic matter binds very tightly and makes unavailable to plants and animals. A chelating agent like EDTA tends to prefer iron or zinc.
@@jeremymcadams7743 very interesting. Thank you.
I am wanting to build a bioreactor to produce methane for various uses however I'm concerned about the bi-product ie the digestate which some taught the use as fertilizer. However, after watching a few of
Can nutrients really evaporate into the air? I thought it was just water
Great video 👍
I really enjoyed watching this. This will give some things to look out for.
Can you find a source for this quote? At 19:28 “If everybody who grazes were doing rotational grazing properly, it would take five years to get back to pre-industrial levels of carbon dioxide in the sky.”
I would suggest Allen Savory as a source for this.
I can send you a playlist that covers the real details of the matter
@@tylerblack3508 It sounds like something that Allen would say, thanks. Maybe from one of his interviews?
I like to add to this discussion, if the microbe-rich biomes create lots of biproducts of gas , and in the oil industry they use carbon dioxide to create fracking for oil then what is the ratio of efficentivy of using micro-rich biomes to create gases enough to frack the ground below since it's essential they break the ground for the roots to grow? I get it on the top soil it does not go deep but what if this farm was 1,000ft deep would the gases and the smell be enough to frack the ground? I seen some patents on google patents showing using micro-rich fungi to create pressured gas chambers but I have yet to see it in video on youtube possibly due to the current monopoly on it but i don't think it would hold up in the courts as a monopoly since it's a natural process done for thousands of years
This is why we need science more than ever. But then, when has woo-woo horse apples ever been left far behind even when debunked? Stick to science and flourish. You can still be spiritual that way.

Grass and weeds are the same. Unless you don't know what a weed is.
Oh, when you start eating weeds the numbers change... :)
Wonderful Wisdom here! thank you everyone!
Lady, the vibrations you mention is called sunlight, aka UV rays. Good information over all, but really, it is not some mystical force that plants feed on, it's sunlight
😁
Inseperable Generation actually vibration is the reaction to the energy, and it's transferred from one element to another resulting i an energy discharge, don't overcomplicate it, and just vibration doesn't describe photosynthesis, saying sunlight is the common men language which we all should be able to understand.
There more than sunlight to friend ,there are vibrations, frequencies ,
Connections that we have no idea of and knowledge of everything in this universe is connected in ways we don't know of and realize.

Nitrate fertilizer vegetables have a salty tsate. Compost therefor improves the flavor of your crops.

Wut tree has roots that go 2-300 feet into the soil I am an arborist never hered that 1
Fig tree can go about 400
Shepard’s trees, dig trees, California redwoods
@@TheSamba37 That's the right depth. Even the big valley oaks in central CA have the majority of their roots in the top 3 feet of soil. Trees will send out roots as much as 2 1/2 times their height but that's horizontally, not deep.
Yea, even coast redwoods typically only go about 6 ft deep. Most large trees have lateral roots, not deep tap roots.... Also, biodynamics is basically snake oil.
According to Forestry Protective Association guys, they have another name but senior moment, Douglas Fir is shallow rooted, which is why they can dry out and can burn so easy. So where does one find the truth?
Douglas Fir is pretty vunerable to drought like the forestry guys say, but when they have formed a mature canopy its very shaded, which greatly helps in keeping the water from evaporating
19:30 Wait, what?! What kind of grazing practice would get our atmosphere back to pre-industrial levels in 5 years? Does anyone have more information about what she's talking about?
Steve Slade Thanks. I had no idea rotational grazing had benefits beyond lower feed cost. This is the first I've heard anyone suggest meat production could have a negative carbon impact. I'm a bit shocked. Thank you for the reading list.
Check out Allan Savory. ua-cam.com/video/6tY5Ik3zTo4/v-deo.html
With the billions of animals raised annually for meat consumption, rotational grazing ("Make the Desert Bloom" project) would be massive carbon sink. Is it feasible over the course of five years? Probably not. But the grasslands supported billions of migratory animals on all major continents and desertification has taken their place. I believe this method could be mimicked and take a big chunk out of emissions and economically, strengthen food production. With all of that foliage thriving with its carbon-capture along with composting on the spot, it's plausibility is far greater than reversing energy demands on fossil fuels.
I especially recommend Allan Savory's TED talk "How to green the world..." and Joel Salatin (grass farmer specializing in DAILY rotation of cattle!) for more info on these revolutionary grazing methods.
Jeff Flanigan
I love watching Salatin. He is hilarious in a very dry, non-challant way.
Great presentation 👍🏽❤️❤️❤️
Never got compost to compost...im pushing 80 and its harder than i can deal with i guess...so i just have piles of things rotting......and bury things...
So I'm curious, JADAM is a very successful method of gardening, and it literally uses anaerobic extraction methods to make fertilizer, this video contradics the JADAM method, the question is then why if the JADAM method is successful is this method successful as well?
Perhaps the 'success' element is in both, while both take exclusive credit for success. We probably need to throw out a wider intellectual net to explain things accurately.
@@dandeleona4760 Agreed 👍
No expert, purely personal opinion - I think the fertiliser is meant to be a liquid feed that feeds the plants directly. Elaine Ingham’s methods are more for feeding soil biology so that they can do their work of making nutrients boo-available to the plants. Anaerobic bacteria may do a better job of breaking stuff down into a liquid mush with nutrients in a form directly available to the plant.
Soil is rich in oxygen only the first feet deep, and incrisingly anaerobic deeper down; so anaerobic microorganisms are very important to form deep healty soil. That is what Jadam does.
She seems to be in awe of the landscape guy who secured the mountain side with compost in 24 hrs🤣🤣🤣
What about Nitrogen from the ambient air?
Chris Shepherd in deed, a lot of misconceptions by this lady
This is the reason ammonium nitrate is not necessary. The plant has all the nitrogen necessary from the air. Ammonium nitrate short circuits the ability of the plant to connect to the soil, this is what humic salts do. Rigorous scientific studies have show that 95% of a plants tissue comes directly from the atmosphere.
What about alfalfa roots?

I live in a land of SNOW. And no, the earth is NOT frozen beneath the snow. Initially the ground freezes, but then the snow comes and insulates the earth beneath. Since we always have geothermal heat, it melts the thin layer of frozen earth and because the snow is there, it’s extremely wet soil. I’ve dug into my garden many times through two feet of snow, and it is NEVER frozen solid. The only place that freezes is where we walk or remove the snow... then the frost can and will go down many feet. No one has ever told me this, but having worked thirty years as a geologist, and twice that as a gardener, I just put 2 + 2 and got 4... and I think I’m correct.
