I find the geezer hard to understand. Please please speak more clearly for us oldies. Please please please make an effort. What you say is interesting.
I'm very interested in what a key line plow, not sure if I'm spelling that like it supposed to be, but very impressed with the soil that you said you pull that named plow through, very interested in what that is or if you have a video on that plow. Thank you, appreciate the videos
Validation of a step. Not validation of actual usefulness of the technique, still waiting for a proper field trial / nutrient analysis for that part. (for the Tea, not the earth, thats proven long ago, obviously)

Hello Richard and associates, I'm really thankful for the work(/devotion) you put into getting as much life abundance in [a ]space as can be (as a guiding principle and[ not too much ]towards perfection). At least, that's how I perceive you (in singular and plural) - and that's a very nice sentiment. So again: Thank you for allowing me to tune into that. (* Read the square brackets as stuff you can leave out/in to your best benefiency as it befits you most. *)
maybe a silly question, but does the top soil growth develop downwards or upwards? Like in this case, did you add 25 cm of soil to your land in the three years
If you want a high protein leaf, soybean would be the way to go. And if it's for chickens it'll have the added effect of the phytoestrogens keeping them laying and non-broody.
That was amazing, so much information! Thanks! A question: I have the same microscope, but if I use the 400x magnification the lens would crash in to the plate.. how do you manage?
I know this is 4 years too late, but most optical microscopes need a drop of lens oil on top of the slide cover to use the x400 objective. You should then be able to get the objective so it is just touching the oil droplet, but not the slide cover. Hopefully this will get everything into focus!
Where and how can I determine the effects on soil that different tree leaves and mulch will have on my soil? I understand that pine tree needles are generally acidic, but I don't know about other species. I am working to improve my rather poor soil which doesn't hold water or grow grass well. It is technically a sandy loam, but is deficient in organic matter. Most land near me is long-abused conventional farm land where grains and corn are grown in the western US.
Scroll forward to 2023, the issue of Avian Flu here in the UK would place serious limitations to rearing of poultry outside in this manner. As witnessed in the video, possible infection by wild birds is all too easy. Also government restrictions could seriously disrupt normal procedures. Anyone with direct experience of this issue care to comment?
Richard , I really like your videos .. it would be great if the length of the videos can be reduced ..just a suggestion. Currently I am reading your book, making small farm works
Nifty. It's hard to be sure, but it looks to me like there are a couple of large nitrogen root nodules dangling in front of the vole hole. Makes me wonder if the extra oxygen the voles provided caused it or are the root nodules distributed throughout?
Richard, du får gärna förklara vad Meskaline är. Jag associerar till det entheogena ämnet i kaktus, vilket det inte är! ;) Berätta vad det är på svenska!
13:45 Mescaline? In Texas, I collected peyote cacti from which mescaline could be extracted (for a museum). Not sure what kind of plant you are talking about...
Eco Familia - It makes sense if we consider they mentioned Luxembourg. Where Portuguese represent some 30'% of the total population, in the country. Portuguese language is also the third most used in Luxembourg. ;-) Even the guy accent and look would fit in a Portuguese background. LOL :-)
Soil is inhabited by tiny organisms such as viruses, fungi and algae as well not only protozoos and bacteria. There is scientific methods to evaluate the minrealisation activity of the soil microbiooekosystem as well.
Maybe you haven't noticed? The farm information will be so much better if you show the people you are talking to. Endless pictures of people's feet is visually unsatisfying. It is obvious that the community of people you are with have educated you. Your videos only show you talking and people's feet. It is the connection with your community which is the most interesting and honest because that's how people love, learn and grow. Thanks for all your hard work. Please show the faces of the people who help you recieve daily on the farm. And the conversations that help you grow.
I think you are mistaken. These are students on a training I am running, and I do not show their faces out of basic respect for not putting people on a screen without their consent.
Nonsense! You can not create that much topsoil in 3 years with grazing and keyline plow alone. Show decent controlled experiment plots. Cheers from a farmer.
He just did. Do you think he dumped a load of top soil and is lying to you? He said he wants to dig several pits per field to look across the whole area but that this is what he expected and so I guess he's done this before
I did it lots of manure,hay, woodchips et fungi The worms et neighbors are flabbergasted One of the side-effects insects and bird varieties have shot through the roof
The content is great but as a nitpicking biologist I do giggle when you say "bacterias" and "protozoas". Bacteria is already the plural. Likewise for protozoa, though you can also say protozoans.
whoispriest in one of his videos he mentions that his farm is something like 10 hectares. thats roughly 25 acres. in the modern day farming on 25 acres is tiny.
Speaking for myself, a vegan, that is the nastiest looking stuff you made with those wonderful healthy greens, besides killing all of the active enzymes by boiling a now only 'once delicious' raw green juice, but then you separated it from some of its phytonutrients and health properties by removing the liquid. To each their own I guess. It was like watching someone stomping on chocolate ice cream into the dirt, then cooking it, and then calling it food, lol
I've never heard of the hundreds of different phytonutrients in natural grasses and greens harming animals since greens is what they naturally built to eat. I have read, that if animals are given mostly commercial feeds and do not get a good supply of daily natural grasses and greens they will not have the proper probiotics in their intestines anymore to digest some heavier macro-nutrients that are in the fresh wild foods they would have no problems with, the high concentration of certain macro nutrients such as nitrogen, which would not necessarily be destroyed with cooking, the cooking would however destroy the enzymes needed to help digest it. In a natural world they would have no problem, but in an unnatural world such as a farm, to give them in a sudden large dose may overwhelm their ability to digest and cause bloat which if not treated in time could cause death. I have known of farmer losing a herd of sheep due to them getting into the alfalfa shed causing bloat which twisted their intestines and they all died, where as a wild sheep would not have had an issue as their diets would have been varied and natural and ate alfalfa off and on in the mix of greens they normally ate roaming the countryside. But, I am a human clinician, not a farm animal veterinarian, so this is my humble opinion in which you may choose to glean from. It is much like a avid meateater, suddenly deciding to eat a day of fruits and veggies without preparation of slowly moving into this natural high fiber diet, well, long ago, his eating of mainly meat caused the natural probiotics for fiber to starve. It usually takes an avid meateater a week or two of building up slowly on fruits and veggies to build up their natural probiotics to digest their natural foods without getting bloat or other GI distress, anyway, not sure if you are still reading, so good luck
"There are a lot of bacterias..." Nope. There are a lot of bacteria. Bacteria is already the plural of bacterium, so you cannot add an "s" to it. No such word. OK?
If you are going to be a d bag at least know what you are talking about. Did you know 2 fish of the same species is 2 fish? But 2 different fish is 2 fishes? "In most formal writing, bacterium is the singular form of the noun, and bacteria the plural form. This is in accord with the word's Latin etymology. However, in ordinary speech, some speakers use bacteria as a singular, with plural either bacteria or bacterias. This is usually considered nonstandard." Talk about being petty.
Best garden setup I've ever seen. Beautiful and creative. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing your process. This video has been extremely educational. Cheers!

Richard, you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge. Great showing the soil sample under the scope. Keep it up.
The chicken's running during the shot at 20:27 is brilliant.
What a wonderful work you are doing Richard.Keep up the good education you are giving us.

Soil pits at 15:00
Neat to see such quick results.
Pretty amazing you changed the soil so dramatically in 3 years.

Good interesting video ...Awesome stuff you guys are doing there
These vegetables 🌽 are so beautiful 😍 they don’t look 👀 real.
I didn't know you could eat cornflowers! Going to have to give that a try
Can you update this video?
I purchased and love your book!
Love the peacock! Never knew you could grow a apple tree from a seed!
YEAH...I COULDN'T MAKE OUT WHAT APPLES HE WAS TALKING ABOUT?
You can, you just won't be able to eat the apples
Amazing, I’m off to make some nettle tea now!

really interesting stuff Rich, gives me shivers how right you're getting it here
Their customers are so lucky, looks great
Funny how the ducks sleep with one foot out
Well Done!!! Looks awesome.
I thought a NemoToad was part fish and part amphibian.
Wow! 10 inches of new topsoil in 3 years is pretty impressive.
Nematode.
Psuedocoelomate round worms.

Seems like a lot of fennel. What do you guys make with fennel>?
Wow. 25cm is what 10 inches?
That's amazing.
That veg box is ace.
Thank you so much Baconcake44
Absolutely amazing
omg i want those carrots... this is amazing food
What flowers 💐 are these that can be eaten?
I would like to buy a seeder like the one in 3:33. Can you please send me a link to the seller?
Rainbow chard 👍
Please how did you build 25 cm of soil ?
Cover crops
keyline plowing and animal grazing

Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work.
I’d love to be able to buy from your farm
Amazing!
