----------
The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

You talked about adding organic matter. One thing my community does that is great, they suck up leaves in the fall if we put them on the curb. They then put them in mounds to compost. They even turn the piles a few times. They give it away for free. It gold. I have filled raise beds with it. The worms and plants love it. I would suggest that every community follow suit.

@EzEzEz369 3 месяца назад

That's awesome. Are you able to plant in pure compost, or do you use mix it with local soil?

@DaveE99 Месяц назад

In one of their videos about fungi, they litterally said “half my job seems to be getting people to stop throwing away the plant droppings that fall to the ground as mulch is important and also a way fungi in the leaves propagate in the soil

@garybrohard3144 16 дней назад

@@EzEzEz369 I plant directly into it. The plants grow great. I top the beds off each year. I use the fresh piles of chopped leaves for mulch ir to add to my compost pile. The areas that I out it directly on the ground, I get better penetration with my penetrometer after it has been on the ground for a year or more.

@garybrohard3144 3 месяца назад

The experimentation for me is the fun part. What areas are best for a plant. What plant are best for the area. What plants work good together and which ones don’t. My addition this year is what plants do dear eat or not eat. One side of creek is deer free, the other not do much. How much can a cram into one raised bed, small yard, etc. It can be frustrating but very rewarding when I sample the products.

@DaveE99 Месяц назад

If you’re in the desert, and you have trouble getting samples of diverse compost and natural materials. You could almost make a small buisness for maintaining a compost pile that is healthy and diverse and give a certain percent away to other regen people that are interested. I’ve mentioned before we prob just need to make model systems in various counties for people to not be taking too much from the forest

@DaveE99 Месяц назад

The thing about organic matter being eaten, is those bacteria go to the bathroom and die eventually to and those things are also part of the soil.

About clay. I live in Alabama. We have what is called Alabama red clay. Nasty by its self. Since I have been adding leave compost, mulch mowing, and compost teas and leaf mulch, my worms have exploded and done the tillage of the soil. After a few short years my soil has gone from red to dark brown and every scoop has worms. Even my compost piles are full of worms. Sadly I do not have a good microscope yet to see what I have produced, but the plant life is enjoying it.

Hi, I came across what Dr. Ingham said most insect and pest do not like serenade. May I ask if serenade is Bacillus Subtilis, how does it work, why do pest and insect do not like. What keep insect away from the plantation. I have been googling I can only find out that it help to protect against disease but not much in protecting against bad insect Thank you very much

@busker153 3 месяца назад

That is what I was thinking. Apply the extract through your irrigation the way she described, the only variable being how many microbes you have in any particular batch of extract. Then, compare the before and after soil samples to see what was accomplished. Then, go from there. If you need more, redo it. I think Adam hit the nail on the head by describing it as more of an art guided by science. Not a mathematical recipe so much as we have been led to believe. Modern agriculture is based on the Godless religion of naturalism. Farming is nothing like baking, where the ingredients must be precise or you have just made 'Ug, it's a failure!' for desert. Farming is like cooking. And, oh, it is nothing like tuning a ukulele. It is like tuning a precision jazz bass guitar! LOL (Couldn't resist. Musicians will understand.) Of course, this coming from someone growing a food forest in the desert without watering. LOL

I have a raised bed I just add to the garden, it is full of agrocybe spring field cap fungi. Are those mushrooms good for soil?😊

@williemasterofdestruction5339 3 месяца назад

Short answer- yes. Look into Jeff lowenfalls book[s] Teaming with fungi. Or listen to his many talks on RU-vid. Among other people. Fungi are a huge part of the soil food web. Fungal pathways etc

How do you activate charcoal

@DaveE99 Месяц назад

You basically can do a few different things, biological activation or a sort of just soaking in nutrients like it can be soaked in urine and wood ash. Though to biologically activate it it’s very similar to how you make aerobic compost tea. You need a bubbler or air pump or something and some sort of bucket. You will need to look up what else to add to compost tea as you need an innoculat source and also a food source of some sugar and maybe some carbon or something. Look up what to add to compost tea. But the only difference is adding the biochar to me. Ideal if you can crush it up a bit.

@soilfoodwebschool ? It sounds like your able to adjust them individually like faders on an equalizer. How is this done ? I live in south Carolina where it's all sand. It sounds like tons of organic material is the way as with clay like yall mentioned here. This was very informative, thank you 🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉🕉📿📿📿

How can i intergrate this into aquaponics? We know aquaponics cant sustain plant other than greens without addatives... im perplexed by this, on the one hand i want to use soil, but on the other hand , how do i save 80% on water in soil... i know healthy soil keep more water, but is it that good compared to aquaponics? Also, what if we used the aquaponic water and just irragate that onto the soil, will this cause problems with the eco system?
