Put carbon where it belongs… back in the soil 

So, how is your harvest looking like?

Sub thai

Yea, you can see the benefits very quickly under drought conditions. I'm gardening in Texas sand (perfect for a sandbox, terrible for agriculture), and I've been no till, minimal dig (I still grow potatoes and build hugels) for a long while. You can see it improving water infiltration and retention and fertility year over year. The soil in the garden is unrecognizable to the soil anywhere else on the property, and even the grasses look different in that area, and downhill of it

I watched a video of putting rice (don't remember cooked/raw, I think raw) into a stocking. Tie it off and bury it under trees/bamboo. After about a month dig it up. Rice should look moldy. Put rice into molasses/water combo in gal. Let sit again and then move to larger 55 gal drum you water with. It puts the valuable fungus back into soil. There's a YT video on doing it. Just watched it, want to try it.

It might work depending on the hay the horses were fed...if the hay had herbicide in it the manure had herbicide in it.the only way to see is to plant something like a tomatoes plant in it.you might be ok...just depends,but good luck

You need to lean how to MANAGE THE TRANSITION to Healthy Soil. See Advancing Eco Agriculture. They've been successfully taking farms over the hump while MAKING MORE MONEY. The key.... getting plants healthy enough to PHOTOSYNTHESIZE ~400% Better than now. The abundant sugars from WAY MORE PHOTOSYNTHESIS feeds the soil...Then the Soil feeds the plants better and then the plants feeds the Soil EVEN BETTER... and so on. BONUS: Very healthy plants are IMMUNE TO PESTS AND DISEASES.... while using NO Pesticides, herbicides, or Fertilizers. Just takes 3 to 6 years to get there.

You will still hit a roadblock not following biblical farming methods.

@@joshportie Sorry, not into magic spells.

@@robmarkovitch What kind of cover crops do you plant?

@@gregorymalchuk272 Mixture of cool season grasses and legumes, mustard, & daikon radish. Buy on Amazon

especially when it is totally unnecessary.

They are killing everything and they know it!

Great question. Tillage and glyphosate both do damage to the soil, but the science is still out on which is less detrimental. Here’s a link to our statement on glyphosate. www.nofamass.org/articles/2019/01/nofamass-statement-glyphosate

Well it's a antibiotic so I would bet yes. If you kill all the good bacteria it's easier for bad ones to repopulate

They are trying to sequester more of it into the ground. I don't care personally but that's the aim.

Science? Well it's normal to till the soil so that you remove weeds and such that are going to compete with the crop that you are trying to grow. I personally till the minimum because I am lazy, not because I care about the global warming impact of my tiny vegetable garden. If you have a field and are a professional farmer, it's probably a million times easier than anything else to till the soil with a machine. The only way I can think to do everything like in the video is to do it by hand. They've got lots of grass competing with what they are trying to grow, so honestly it's probably just more hippy bs on youtube.

so where are you on this?

Biochar is only a storage container and does nothing to build soil that the biomass it is made from, actually less. Making biochar destroys all the nutrients in biomass it was made from. to prevent it from robbing nutrients from the soil it has to be charged. This can be done with organic or synthetic fertilizer. To charge it with organic fertilizer takes at least the same amount biomass that was destroyed. Doesn't this amount to to using twice the amount of biomass to get half the nutrition. Synthetic fertilizers harm soil life. Soil life can't eat biochar and would starve. Soil life feed on organic carbon made by plants and feed the plants nutrients they would not have access to. Making biochar converts organic carbon into inorganic carbon. There is a symbiotic relationship between plants and animals; they feed each other. Tests show god soil with lots of organic matter and thriving soil life produces higher yields. Adding biochar reduced the yields. Try it and see.

So the solution to global warming is for us to abandon efficient power plants and everyone burn fuel individually to heat their homes? Sounds completely idiotic.

@@dustystahn3855 biochar by itself is not good. It is of course carbon rich and combined with decent soil can contribute or so I am told. Fungi and other microbial life need carbon sources in the soil.

They are correct

Your crazy if you think our climate isnt changing, ocean water is getting warmer, pollar caps melting, coral reefs dying, huge extintion of animals, the indicators are all around you.

@snuggmoney there never has been 20k years ago

@snuggmoney your nearly as bad as the flat earth people
