I have learned more from an hour of this lecture than the thousands of organic gardening/farming videos and books I've consumed.

My yield went up 85% in 14 months(bananas). This is the best way of farming.

understanding something completely as an individual means they are able to explain it simply. That's real knowledge.... She knows what she's talking about

I've watched a lot of videos, hundreds and this is the most beneficial I've ever seen. Wish I would have seen it years ago.

Protect dr Elaine at all costs !!! 💙💯🌹

Preach it Doc! I'm 58, entering my Junior year at Penn State for a B.S in Biology because this lady spurred me to do confirming research to the point where I could not decipher the documents. My backyard is my lab this summer and hope to demonstrate this paradigm to my cousin's lawn care customers.

I'm grateful for our God given abilities to discern the wonders of this world. This lecture blew my mind. Thank you!

I have been studying for some time and still this woman amazes me. I nominate her as one of the most important female thinkers and doers of the modern world. We need to propagate these ideas and practices.

Great clarity and thorough knowledge with extremely good teaching techniques Thanks

I said for years you don't grow the planet you grow the soil. I thought I knew what I was saying until I found Dr. Ingham. She really showed me I didn't even know the half of it. Brilliant woman I'm glade I found out about her now I'm binge-watching every video I can find.

1:12:13 love the way she checked her watch when she said, 'We've got to get this information out to everyone on the planet.'

Sounds great! Bridging the gap between academic and practical world. Translation into real world will help get principles utilized where best effects can grow!

This should have a million+ views!!

I can tell she knows what she's talking about, alot of valuable knowledge here for amateur growers like myself

I always wondered why the first year I grew a garden in a specific spot the plants didn't produce like I would like them to. Every year after that, the soil and the plant life on that soil improved and now I understand why. It was the organic systems that I put into place that allowed the micro-organisms to thrive.

Amazing lecture...discovering how bacteria, fungus, beneficial nematodes and plant relationships work finished the pieces of the puzzle for me.

Oh my gosh!! Found my new teacher!!!!!!!!! Soo much thanks!!!

Wow...mind BLOWN🤯 I want to thank Dr Ingham for her insight into this. I need to dive deeper into this, imma 1st time gardener and going from Miracle-Gro potting soil to building my own living soil, making compost n eventually vermi-compost is quite the journey! I shall endeavor to persevere 😉

The number of times I’ve rewatched this...thank you many times over for posting this!

Christ, what a woman! I'm in awe

Aloha I love it the knowledge is real and I can relate ..I live in Kauai and we suffer the same “dirt” issue here on island and I’ve took the time to educate my self about soil and I love what you teach and your approach on it would love to see some organization here to deliver the same message throughout the island....much love and aloha

Thank you Mrs. Dr. Elaine Ingham. I am grateful you for your work and I think that the soil on the planet Earth too

Anyone who found this exciting and interesting would probably LOVE the work of Paul Stamets. Mycology and Soil foodweb for the win! Edit: Also this! The studies done on sterile mice(without a gut biome) are really thought provoking. A channel called "What I learned" is one of the best on the tube, afaic.

We need more experts like this lady in government.

The only thing I bought is organic hormone and deworming meds free horse fertilizer with more red wigglers, that i can ever dream of. This lady is absolutely amazing. She is my Garden and soil college. Thank you for putting this video up. You should translate it in all available languages and teach people to save our planet! Thank you and blessings from Bulgaria! PS. You just saved me a ton of money and time as well. God bless you!

WOOOOWWWW now I’m hooked on this woman!!! Oh & they’ve most definitely silence & blackballed her content!

She aint kidding about OSU and Monsanto! I took a class about gmo's and chemicals in ag there and it was a long commercial in pro gmo and synthetic chemical propaganda. Luckily they actually had some organic ag and permaculture offerings there too.

Very interesting talk by Dr. Elaine Ingham, thumbs up and thanks for sharing!

This woman should have a V.I.P. suite @ the FDA!

2020 and this is still amazing.

GOOD MORNING 🌄 DR ELAINE THANK YOU MAKING ME UNDERSTAND SOIL/ DIRT.. I MADE SO MUCH F UP'S .. NEW INDOOR GROWER EXPERIMENTING... YOUR A WONDERFUL AND UNDERSTANDING DR

every living being in my garden thanks you for sharing this, heartfelt crucial information. i'm brewing compost tea's like a madman, throwing around endo and ecto mycorrhiza, bonemeal, bloodmeal, guano, organic bloom-stimulaters!! please Elaine we need more of your knowledge spread far and wide. wow incredible lecture. the simplicity is even so we could teach this to kids in school no problem

Thank you Ma’am Elaine Ingham

I learn something new every day, what I was doing was not working.

Thank you, this is a wonderful teaching. I learned a lot.

Amazing teacher! Very insightful! Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

i am a Filipino Forester glad to encountered this video in youtube.

Amazing! Makes the most LOGICAL Sense! I am from the Pac N.W..... Surfing out on the peninsula, the smell in the temperate rainforest, that humic fulvic acid in the air, so cathartic, so healing..... Duplicate that biosphere and most problems disappear with farming... Food forests make the most sense, let life colonize and reap the bounty as we say thank you as we apply uric acid wherever we roam..... Fungus it is... You have won my heart and mind! Aloha and thank you for your hard work.

amazing, i'm so lucky to find it here. well done!!!

Thank you Dr Ingham. Fantastic information. Hope to learn from you in the live seminar in Australia :-)

She fascinates me every time! just incredible information!

Thank you all involved for sharing such wisdom!

It is pity the video make more reference to what was on the screen so we could have seen what was being spoken about. Other than that it was great

Thank you so much for your knowledge. I have learn so much about soil microbiology in this lecture.

It's refreshing to hear that all the mineral plants need are in the soil, that it's just a matter of building the microbiology of the soil to make those minerals bioavailable to plants, but there's not much practical information here beyond "making and adding compost". No talk about cover crops in order to continue feeding the microbiology. She still makes it sound complicated, like only her company knows the proper mechanics of improving the soil, but I guess that's how she makes her money.

The information is great and massively educational. We do not deserve to be spoken down to because we were taught bad methods however. Please don't be aggressively negative to me, I simply didn't know and that attitude turned me off - we need to, we HAVE to turn people onto this. So please be more understanding of our ignorance, be kinder.

She is right. My family tends to a property which has plenty of untouched area. It's in a desert area & the only places where there is dirt is the thin animal trails + the places where cars/people go. The rest of the natural Earth is COVERED. When hiking, the ground cover is usually as tall as your boots with a fluffy mass of falling twigs which are about chest high. The plants are basically taller than a man. Wheat / barely / oats also cover the hills as tall as they can grow... all without ANY touch from man. It's all clay .. any place where there are no plants the dirt turns as hard as cement.

I am disappointed that the video taping was not showing the content on the screen that was being talked about.

The protein secrtion alone is mind blowing, knock your socks off info!

One of the best video Ive seen on the tube!!!

I love all Dr E. Ingham's presentations and the didactic and fun way to explain recently discovered microBiology fuctioning of soil. Particularly, in this video at 15:12 to 15:20 she states: COMPOST IS NOT A FERTILIZER, IT IS AN INOCULANT. Its brilliant. Now, lets go to practice. We grow wine Grapes and make wine, we learned long ago to make good yeast starter, it work wonderfully, so, applying the same concept, how much comport would be good to apply to a vineyard, supposing its microbiology needs to be improved? (always there is room for improvement). We would appreciate comments.....

32:20 this is serious, this NEEDS to be done soon! Enough is enough... Sorry about my frustration, what a great video!!

There are 300 million people with hearing loss worldwide. Please subtitle your videos! Closed captions (CC) are rubbish so don't rely on that. Thank you!

one sentence that captures all the essence 27:00

Best lecture on organic farming

Best condensed video ! Thank you

Thank You..Thank You..Thank You... For the volumes of ...Let us not forget the work to analyze all this biology..and perfectly organize all this information for farming educational purpose...Everyone becomes intrugued with a soft close up eye on that zoo of micro dinosaurs hanging out interacting in a somewhat frightening symbiotic manner which plants play a role in gaining nutrients from a natural competition not unlike the wild creatures who walk the land above..including man..Have to watch again with a notebook...

Dr. Elaine is super!!!!!

Very nice...never too late to learn and apply.

When talking about removal of nutrients remember we grow carbohydrates. They are 47% C 43% O 4% H 3%N. That is 97% of the elements in food come from the air around us.

I've learned of and completely sold and empassioned by this. A quick question: people assume that microbial activity doesn't begin until soil temps are at around 55 degrees. While I'm sure it's true that the activity gets ramped up as temperatures warm would I be correct in assuming that soil biology is active you're around. If while I'm sure it's true that the activity gets ramped up as temperatures warm would I be correct in assuming that soil biology is active year-round. If true so, what kind of activity is being carried out in winter months etc.

Life changing stuff here. Can anyone recommend a soil microbiologist who has published on the direct impact of fungal ratios in the soil on plant diseases & pests?

i wish i could see where she was pointing on screen...

Fantastic. More more more

#Algae are living in soils as well and Dr. ÖSTERREICHER researched about algae as indicators of soil health. The role of viruses and archae (a newly discovered biologic kingdom) in soil is also under research.

Hi Thanks for the great information Very informative 👌

Great video Elaie is brilliant thanks. Wish we could see the screen and bacteria to fugi ratios.

If humans don’t recycle our waste back into our agriculture we build up a huge mass of energy in waste water treatment with chemicals. Until waste is cycled in too, we always exporting nutrients and not getting them back.

Thank you, Very Much, for this sobering talk, about the importance of building soil biology!!! What might be the best approach, to restoring any degraded parcel of land, especially small, residential, rural property, that has been planted largely, to "turf grass". I suspect that it would be best to start by planting as many "pioneer species" of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, sedges, grasses, rushes, etc., whatever is locally "NATIVE", and, that will help send deep roots into the ground, and to save, and compost as much of the duff, and leaf litter, and to compost that, and distribute it around the trees, and shrubs, primarily, and to keep trying to introduce more and more plant species, until you have the maximum diversity possible, depending on the amount or Sun light, water, and temperatures.... Can you recommend any concise guides on "soil microscopy"?!...

Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing

You are a Rockstar! Love it

A Ruldolf Steiner reincarnation! The modern era father of biodynamics since 1924 . And still practiced today by many .

More-on Farmer! Love it!

Glad to see the academics are finally catching up to what my Grandfather knew years ago. Yes, they have a lot more knowledge from the microscope, but note. She mentions that the best test is a plant tissue test. My Granddad and I can both tell you a lot about your soil by looking at the plant growing in it. Note she says you can tell a lot by -fill in the blank- which is really observation of nature. Note how often she says you don't need this or that if you just allow all the natural processes. I've been doing that for 45 years of farming and my Grandfather for many years before that. In my experience it is pride that gets in the way of good observation. You learn a little something and then you get all prideful about it. She gets it just a little bit, when she says as a kid there were 3 things a plant needed and as she grew up more and more things were added to the list. Well all those people pridefully thought they had all the answers. And what I see in Elaine's manor of presentation is pride. Pride in what she knows and the condescending tone in putting down the lack of knowledge of those who came before her, the condescending tone toward those farmers who followed the advice of -guess who- the academics that came before. Consider being a little more humble and you will be easier to listen to and those who try to learn from you will find it easier to hear and will repeat it in a way that others will listen. Glad the academics are finally catching up to what nature has known ever since God created it. His wisdom is free for the asking... and listening.

is this the dr elaine ingham who saved the world?

Thank you madam for the wonderful info

Thanks Elaine. Great video

*Throw this chart out the window*. Legend.

keep this coming please, thank you so much.

Some parts of the information I found quite new as I am working on Case Study to address the setbacks of the Green Revolution. I then referred to google scholar and my Ecology Book on symbiosis. I did find it a bit extreme. We do need certain amount of tools, including vertical hydroponics, drip irrigation, greenhouses, etc. However, being extreme is the problem. Farmer suicide from Bt cotton is a problem of such extreme when the Green Revolution came to India in the 1990's. I did notice that such ideas are not equally affordable for individuals, particularly, in Low Middle Income countries and rural communities.

Thank you very much.

I wish I knew this video once it is uploaded

Hey I enjoy your program have you ever come to florida teaching seminars

It's a shame two cameras were not used where one films her presentation and the other, her. Then edit in the presentation video when appropriate. I've watched so many lectures where you cannot see the presentation.

Wish the person filming this video showed the slides she was showing.

Dammit, show the freaking graphics! don't just set up a tripod at an educational lecture with graphics and walk away? The podium is nice but the screen would have been better. Set your camera up with a purpose or get a friend to man the camera. Too bad because this is an awesome lecture. I need a transcript because she is brilliant and sharing the good stuff. Great information. Work on the sharing the graphics.

why didnt you folks find a good video recording team, that could capture the slides as well?

What an enlightnig video!

One thing I forgot below, sugar is a simple carbohydrate and if your using flour you are putting proteins into your recipe. And did you know that plants provide all the nutrients you need in the right proportions with a general selection. And that proteins are made from amino acids and that we can get all that we need from plants contrary to quoted opinion.

wonderful! but it would be so much better if Dr Ingham's presentation was edited to contain her visual aids when she is referring to them (with her voice over continuing on the soundtrack).

Very, very interesting! I'm trying to make a large compost pile using wood chips, 3 types of manure, leaves, grass, hay and straw looking to brew organic tea. I need help. I want to use it my greenhouses and crops in fields. Thank you Raymond Thomas

Its a mind blowing truth, I am basically consultant paediatrician, but after retirement I switched over to to farming, as I have good size of land holding in Pakistan, grow mangoes, pomegranate ,Date farming, feel ashamed of my self, whatsoever I used to earn , taken by the fertilizer and pesticide companies. what a loss, Is there any possibility that I could contact Dr Elain Ingham?

Actually, God designed the successional system to show us a good analogy of what sin does in our lives, and how we are healed and restored by repentance.

Great lecture

Whoever the editor of this presentation, please next time focus on the presentation, as well not just the presenter. She presented a lot of visuals on microorganisms, but can't figure out them as the camera only focused on the presenter.

Could you please do a speech on Biochar mixtures.

Gracias

Took me far too long and several Google searches for "syable nutrients" etc, to realise "syable" was "soluble" 😆😆😆

amazing talk!

1:06:53 an interesting bit of information. Old Growth Forest.
