Very well explained. You know what you are talking about - so many on the "organic" bandwagon don't.

maybe graze turkeys or sheep between the rows, separated by an electric fence so they dont eat the veggies. then you doint have to mow and use all the fuel. maybe. thatd be cool to see. very awesome

Recycling and fixing Nitrogen through legume nodules is great, but what about the P, K, Ca and other minerals that the system looses through the harvest?
@hatthowe6 жыл бұрын
We did some research on this and found that the legume living mulch contained & recycled 3-4% N, 0.5% P, 4% K, 1.4% Ca, and micro-nutrients. This data is published at: articles.extension.org/pages/73948/biodesign-farm-soil-management-system

Thank you for reply and the publication, I'm going to definitely use it. I understand how nutrients are recycled, and C and N are fixed from air, but the other nutrients that are used up for the fruits have to be replenished, added from an outside source, don't they?

@@harrybowen3285 footsteps? I know how mimicking a natural cycle gives benefits in agriculture, the so called ecological services, but when you harvest the fruits/seeds/whatever and sell them, you're exporting elements, that unlike Nitrogen can't be fixed from the air, they have to be added to the soil, or else the the life in ecosystem is gonna lack it more with every new year, cause you know, microorganisms also need P, K, S, Ca and other elements that we export from the soil and build our ever growing biomass of humankind =D

@@sandroshanidze6060 pH is most critical, this can be increased through cover cropping and green manuring without importing Ca. N can be optimised through time, grazing animals, legumes breaks and diverse leys. Unavailable P and K can both be made available through cover cropping and nutrient cycling as above. Many growers focus on the major and secondary elements while a trace element limits growth and yield. You do not have to import x amount of phosphorous every year if you are developing a regenerative system with diverse pastures and appropriate crop rotation. Obviously if a particular element is limiting economic viability or crop health then you can import that element, grow something else or make it more readily available ie tillage radish accumulates Sulphur. The more diversity and life in your soil the less you'll have to import so long as you are not overstocked with too many animals or cropping too large an area too regularly.
