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.

I listened again to this video. I knew that people/I listen selectively and form opinions without understanding what is actually being said. I liked the whole video the first time but as I listened to the whole thing again I realized how this video is a gift to Humanity. The summary with the four speakers is the model, they actually described what the fungi beings as a unique, vital aspect of this world do and how we must(as in not actually optional) learn from how they survive and thrived. Dying is part of being human body experience, but we are allowed to stop killing the fungi beings now, I too have unknowingly played the role of destroyer,...I am changing my mind Today... I want to involve people here in Germany. Please send me contacts if you are permitted. I shall work on learning about the sfb website tonight. Thanks for being there for me too

To distill it down, chemical farming produces less and less with more inputs over time and regenerative agriculture produces more and more with less inputs over time.

What a fantastic knowledge base grouped together here sharing observations. Thank you All for sharing your knowledge and communicating in a way that is easy to comprehend. The pieces really come together where different areas of expertise overlap and communicate collectively an explanation of an observation.

Four friendly and diverse fungi. Thanks guys. I honestly didn't think I'd make it through the 1hr And 44 mins because of the terminology and many times the science was way over my head. However I did get a rudimentary understanding and for most people that's plenty. I would have liked to have known what your opinion is on Korean Natural Farming and is there a place for it in agriculture especially when sourcing local biology for inoculants ?. Wouldn't it be amazing if farmers and home gardeners can have near zero cost inputs and achieve bountiful output and be free from the the shackles of large agri chemical companies while at the same time build soil health and human health. This is not utopian nonsense. Your work screams YES it can and has to work . We have no other option.

I have been soaking wood chips from tree pruning in a 5 gallon pale with the good compost tea. I have been using these woodchips in potted plants, raised beds and tree wells. There is mushrooms growing where I have done this and the plants in pots are doing far better than those without the chips.

Thank you very much I love this video because you have all pointed out what great importance fungi is in creating good soil. Here in the UK people burn leaves during the Autumn (falls) I always collected and store the fallen leaves, imagine my excitement once when I happen to mix it with saw dust and it got very hot. This is what started me off on studying horticulture. I am fascinated by mushroom. I started of by collecting and identifying them then having consulted 4 books I tried eating the edibles. I grow shitake on oak logs and saw dust, oyster on straw. I have a large tree down the garden that provides me with sometimes 3 masses of Maitake mushrooms.

I was really intrigued by Dr Elaine's point of compaction by rain. Given that this year alone we have seen major rain event that bring in large amounts of rain in a matter of hours leading to flooding, wouldnt these events also lead to further compaction of already degrading soils both agricultural and otherwise ? How would prairies handle rain based compaction ? is it through diversity of prairie plant species of various heights ?

@Reignforest87 2 года назад

I'm curious about your opinion on Jadam composting methods. In case you are unfamiliar, it is long term, anaerobic peutrification. Meaning they add a small amount of dirt to a bucket of water, and then add organic matter for what they are trying to grow. For instance peppers would require pepper plant material. Then it would be sealed and peutrified for around 6 months or more. Also Dr. Zach Bush has good reference material on glyphosate and it's damaging effects on microbiology.

I just moved to a 10 acre piece of land in Zone 3 Alberta, in March 2022. There is .5 acres of lawn which was sprayed before I came here to control dandelions, with several fruit trees and evergreens, 2 acres of grazing grass that had horses on it and the remainder is forest. The forest is mainly poplar, but has many saskatoons, high bush cranberry, dogwood varieties, several other shrubs and grasses and even ferns. I am new to compost tea. I have 2 barrels that I started in June. One is a black barrel and I have been using the tea. My plants have responded well. The second is in a translucent white barrel which allows light to get through. I have not used this barrel. It has a much different smell, the water is black but translucent and there is green algae growing on top. I am hesitant to try using the tea from the white barrel until I get more information, however I have not been able to find articles or reports that cover this situation. I believe there must be a benefit to the algae, but don't want to contaminate my land and plants.

@swrtsolutionsinc.1092 2 года назад

Crop plants maintain a "rhizosphere", or a concentrated area of microbial activity close to the root. The rhizosphere is the most active part of the soil ecosystem because it is where the most readily available food is, and where peak nutrient and water cycling occurs. Microbial food is exuded by crop roots to attract and feed microbes that in turn provide nutrients (and other compounds) to the plant at the root-soil interface where the plants can take them up. Since living roots provide the easiest source of food for soil microbes, growing long lived roots that feed the foundation species of the soil food web as much as possible during the growing season should be a goal of farmers seeking a productive and profitable crop. Roots associated with SWRT membranes have been shown to last all season long, contributing greatly to the improvement of soil quality because they have the nutrients and moisture they need.

@bluejay3945 2 года назад

In an urban landscape with limited ability to compost, are purchasing and applying commercial fungi spore packets worth it? My understanding is that applying mycorrhiza is only effective if the application comes in direct contact with roots otherwise watering mycorrhiza into a landscape is worthless. I would really appreciate constructive feedback about how to improve the fungal and bacteria colonies in a newly constructed urban landscape. It is also my understanding that bagged compost products are generally bad so my original approach appears pointless Thank you

@lotti9576 2 года назад

I would love to hear more conversation around glyphosate. I have heard people say they use no glyphosate but then they will mention a chemical that is way worse but less well known. If you have a big area 10H that one wants to start regenerative, cover crops increasing OM etc. Until one could grow cash crops. How do you start? I have a piece that's been badly treated in the past but growing grasses etc. now but badly compacted, no earth worms and 2%OM. I used glyphosate once to start and tillage that I plan to phase out when I can use a baler. I completely agree and understand the approach not to go the round up ready way. But is there a responsible space for it in scale? Or is there something better? A plastic tarp is also not friendly or scalable.

@soilfoodwebschool Год назад

This is a great question, and one that many of us struggle with while working with large farmers. Ideally no one would need to use chemicals while farming, yet that is not the reality for many at this time. We plan to have AgriBio back on a webinar later this year, and perhaps we will bring your question into the discussion, as it is a good one. Thank you for watching!

@@soilfoodwebschool I will register, thank you. I completely understand once the system is in place that there is no more need for it. Elaines explanation makes lovely sense about the correct fungi and I am really encouraged about the ability of fungi to adapt and break down toxins. An exciting frontier 🙏

@summcunt5421 2 года назад

Is there any benefit from using the compost you refer to as reduced waste? I've been digging truckloads of it into my clay dirt trying to create soil. It seems to be helping. I just don't have the ability to produce enough compost to get started, although that is a goal to eventually be able to make all the compost I need in my own yard.

@devonviola368 2 года назад

Food waste can serve as food for bacteria and fungi, if those biota are introduced (on their own or by your intention) and then you support increasing biodiversity over time... Let many successions of creatures live and die and eat each other on it... And then it really turns into soil.
