Continuing this series of short permaculture documentaries; Here is a little film about something I've become ever more passionate about in recent years. Something that took me a long while to fully wrap my head around and still feel I have so much more to learn about.
This one focuses on the soil food web in the context of no dig gardening. It features our own garden along with clips from Dr. Elaine Ingham, Charles Dowding, Robert Hart, Jim Hoorman, Dr. Eric Berg and Suzanna Crampton.
If you're interested in digging deeper into this subject, I highly recommend the easily digestible book, 'Teaming with Microbes' by Jeff Lowenfels and also 'The Hidden Half of Nature' by David R. Montgomery & Anne Biklé

Hiya folks, thanks for watching, and hope you're enjoying this latest series of little documentaries. Let me know know what the soil around you is like, your relationship to it. How long you've cared for it and if it needs help, what you plan to do with it. ✌️❤️🌳🦔🪱🐝🐌🦋🐞🦠🌻

We definitly need more of these documentaries!

This is really important for anyone starting to grow things. I remember been so overwhelmed when conventional growers at markets would tell me my cabbage looks like this because it misses X type of fertiliser. I was wondering how will I learn all these different requirements of different plants. I still haven't got a clue what a tomato needs vs a cabbage. I just learned how to make good compost and everything grows its self. Just feed the soil.

@BoscosGarden Ай бұрын

So true. I was much the same, overwhelmed by needing to know every detail to do with nutrition, pests, and diseases for each specific plant, but it really does simplify things when we step back and see it with whole systems thinking.

Lovely film. Thank you! Charles Dowding really is the most beautiful soul isn't he.

@tavascarow Ай бұрын

You've not told me anything I didn't already know. I've been a fan of Dr Elaine & Charlie D for a few years. But you have certainly put together a very professional production that will hopefully educate and inspire those less informed. Good luck.

Its is all so very sensical. Too many people do not grasp what nature can do without human interference.

@BoscosGarden Ай бұрын

As humans, though, we can also dramatically speed up the regeneration process when we understand the soil and help it to do what it wants to do.

I started doing some soil restoration in 2020, we had built a new house and they stripped the topsoil and we had only subsoil left, and it is very dense red clay. As you can imagine in our food force area, the soil has dramatically improved.

I believe it is also affected by what kind of pollinater got to it whether it have been a 🐝 ,or a dragon fly,butterfly,ants,moths,birds,etc. also temperature and wind. Even a few inches difference can result in different amounts of sunlight and rain

We take the soil so much for granted. This made me look at it in a whole different light. Also the uses of the compost..

The universe is filled with rocks full of gold and other precious metals, but only one planet we know of has soil that can grow trees, flowers and food.

Wonderful video, filled with so much valuable information. I did find it really distracting to have music layered in over the various dialogues that were taking place however. For instance the conversation between Charles Dowding and the other fellow. Why that music? It was really difficult for me to hear and clearly understand what they were saying. I found it totally annoying and distracting. That was frustrating as I really, really, really wanted the information being delivered. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. I could have brought it down a notch perhaps. Here is the full conversation, if you want to check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsuWmcmF2a69oqs.htmlsi=Wh7WGVdCSAFWDs_W

@dianehunt695 Ай бұрын

At one point weeds are described as horrible plants but they are highly important plants which nature puts there to repair soil as well as break up or hold together compacted or loose soil. They also act, for us, as soil indicators. If you have dandelions they are working to break up compacted soil and will go away once they achieve this. Bindweed is providing nutrients and dragging down other plants to help with this. If it is cut above ground, chopped up, boiling water added and steeped for a week then added to water you're watering with, then Bindweed goes away as the nutrients it is there to add have been provided. Thorny plants are there to protect a bad soil area and repair it. Plus weeds are the original plants our food was created from. Understand your weeds. They aren't horrible but helpful. You can chop and drop a lot of them (not bindweed) prior to their seeding to feed your soil.

@BoscosGarden Ай бұрын

I think Dr. Elaine might have been done an injustice in the way I cut that.. She of course knows this, but is just pointing out how weeds signify poor soil, and like you said, they are there to do a job.

@Megalyssa007 Ай бұрын

What does Bermuda grass do that is beneficial?

@dianehunt695 Ай бұрын

Aka couch grass. That one is quite invasive. Mainly introduced although there are often native varieties depending where on the planet. To be honest I don't know much about it other than its invasiveness and that people try to smother it with layers of cardboard or carpet. Another invasive grass is Barnyard grass originally from Asia, is utilised there for all sorts of things including animal and human grain, a cure for hair loss. Couch and possibly barnyard look like they can be used for roofing, flooring and mats! But elsewhere in the world isn't, so is viewed as invasive pest. Plus when grown elsewhere a plant can change properties a bit. All plants contain various properties which are the building blocks of life though and many were utilised but much of the knowledge has been or gets lost. Rediscover it, I guess.

Why did you add a soundtrack of smooth jazz over the conversation between Dr. Berg & Charles Dowding? I found it difficult to follow the dialogue with that distracting music. Very strange bit of video editing there!

I have constructive criticism. I am autistic and between tinestamp 10:40 - 13:40 the video was almost unbearable to watch. The dodgy music overlayed with speech and the random cuts to a smiling nodding head were so overstimulating I couldn't process what the guy was saying. Feedback meant in good faith. Great video overall. Take care x

I too liked the content but won't subscribe as I couldn't stand the loud music over all the good talking and information. Too hard for most people to extract what was being said from the distracting music. You do not need that music.
