Book Terra Preta: greystonebooks...
I started using/making biochar about six months ago, and so far it has been added to all my garden pots, garden bins, and other giant pots. So far I have noticed my plants create better structure in the leaves and in the main stems. The soil is healthier than before, and more worms to help grow all the bacteria to break it down.. Takes time but it is worth the wait
Hey Jeff, how long do you inoculate your biochar? I literally made it for the first time today and was curious how long it should be in compost before using it on/near a plant.
@@zubrismusicadd it to a new compost pile and once the pile has fully composted the biochar is ready. Bear in mind that only after three years due to oxidation will it be in its prime.
This is amazing! Plz keep making more educational vidoes like this. Thank you and mush love!! 🍄🫶
You cannot say that it was not specifically man made and act like it was just a natural occurrence of the Amazonian people. We still can’t remake the soil today, that tells me it’s quite intricate to make.
I have been working with organics since the early 2000's....back then there was zero information out there, hardly an internet...trying to figure out how to make volcanic rock dust work in modern agriculture led me to organics, the soil food web, microbes & mycorrhizae....it is all about microbes, fungi, minerals and storage of such (charcoal is a super high rise apartment block with speed of sound escalators)
Yes the bio bar definitely should be utilized, I think we need to experiment with different forms of aeration as well like volcanic rock, pumice, hydroton or clay pots, even things like vermiculite or perlite just to see what type of complexity can be achieved in a system when you give microbes as many possible homes and storage sites as possible while also having aeration and water holding capacity. Wish I had the space to really research this.
Biochar & Terrapreta is modern gold
And the black earth in Ukraine that BlackRock will own if they win the war.
I am about to build a pyrolisis oven in my forest garden to not only enhance the soil fertility and water retention, but also to make biochar sculptures, which I hope will highten people's awareness of it's potential to mitigate the damage done in the name of human progress ; )
I am a gardener myself, and I refuse to use pesticides. I refuse to use pesticides or artificial compost for my crops I only use what you literally can find in nature unless the plant is previously in soil then that the only thing that changes that and I've noticed that I get better plants using th a t much worth of natural based stuff. (Forest fires are common in areas with lighting storms)
human remains are the key ingredient.
all the "scary sacrifices" we were all told about....made good soil.
FR no shit
@@novelnouvel probably some shit, too.
haha
Our remains are very acidic apparently. I tried to use my dead dad as compost and was told this.
Lyme.... Good for acid soil. And in powder form, the outhouse,.. couple small cups. Each use.
No smell no flies.
full of misinformation. and end result is: we don't know how to make Terra Preta yet.
Thanks for saving me some time
It's a pity not to elaborate on the missing information. Would it be water retention, reduction of labile carbon dégradation by microorganisms, mechanical reduction of lixiviation...? What's the point of such a comment without further explanation.... and not recycling information instead of putting it in the garbage.
It's compost. It's generations of good composting practices. That's it. The magic is in the nature of the microbiome that exists when you have very healthy soil.
Start composting.
Compost. Broken pottery. Charcoal. Terra preta.
@@litterbox2010hey fellow composter! I think you’re probably right. It would make sense that they literally composted EVERYTHING as well which probably created a very diverse -nutrient rich soil. There’s a great book called, “Humanure” if you haven’t read it. Be well 🙂
This was enlightening, thank you!
Very good video
I don't think the top layer is made of hummus, as you say. I do believe it is made of humus, however.
Anally speaking,of course
I would say this is more of ideas and concepts from someone’s personal research. With the new LiDAR events happening all across the Amazon and archaeologists recently this year finding actual monuments, and if you read the actual stories of some of the first explorers accounts they write about the vast cities with the roadways not temporary living conditions. I personally believe that this could have been a portion of the indigenous people was to move from location to location because that still practice today however I do not believe that all of them were built upon that foundation. With only an extremely small amount of limited information available to the general public compared to the vast amount of knowledge that shared between archaeologists it’s difficult to say what actually caused ADE’s soil to be created and what differs it from location to location. My understanding of fermentation with indigenous cultures in the Amazon is what they call mountain microbes as well as anaerobic and aerobic fermentation combinations in order to process the soil. But my information stems from three years of research and I’ve only found four tribes that do this still today. So I say that to remind you that the amount of research is limited when you’re not on the ground in the field speaking with people and speaking with archaeologist yourself.
That human waste thing, yeah, you can make nutriant towers and install them throughout the fields, and there are worms
Hummus is a bean dip. Short U, rhymes with 'hum muss.
Humus sounds like 'Hugh muss.
Can’t do it, it’s the narration
you don't pronounce humus like that chickpea spread for your pita bread 😂
I wonder how someone making a video on soil manages to get that wrong.
you are correct. Its Huuuuumes
@@nonyadamnbusiness9887 Its called AI it often mispronounces words
@@Ron-sj6wv I don't think this is an AI voice..
Glyphosate and fertilizer in the same sentence, really? two different subjects
they are very different subjects. I don't really go into the applications of them in this video. I only really explore the negative impacts of glyphosates and chemical fertilizers which is why they are together in the same section. They could each use a dedicated video of their own.
@@NautilusPermacultureyeah for real man, you made it sound like herbicide and feet was the same thing.
Well done, thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it and hopefully found it useful
I am pretty sure 50,000 worms don't equal the weight of a cow, plus that's an extremely low population density.Maybe you meant 500,000 worms per acre, which is still inaccurate regarding weight comparison but closer. 2.5 minutes in and this combined with the hummus\humus pronunciation thing doesn't inspire confidence in the accuracy.
yawn this sounds like a school homework assignment read out load to the class with monotone voice all the way through
Looks like a generic video made with AI
Is it just poop, or is poop and pee ok too?
Get yourself a rabbit or chicken for manure. Rabbit if you only care about the manure and don’t need much maintenance. Chickens if you want some eggs with it too
@@rephaelreyes8552 Thank u for that, but that doesn't really answer my question, about if urine is ok to put in my compost pile like poop is.
@@BleachedWheatyeah it's been done many times. It'll hasten the decomposition process by providing nitrogen for bacteria to break down the leaves.
@@rephaelreyes8552 Adding urine, will provide extra nitrogen for helping the bacteria to break down the leaves?
Isn't the main issue with human waste the intake of pharma drugs?
You literally flush them in a week. Most drugs are organic and dilute in water.
Solution: when on medication prepare/use a separate waste bucket marked biohazard.
@@Technoanima , you think poisons put into the human body are gone in a week?
You know the majority of toxicity is stored in fat cells right?
@@Bob-pd1wf And they certainly are NOT organic ... they're probably 100% chemical
Sorry, I can't take seriously a video about soil by someone who can't correctly pronounce "humus" and apparently doesn't know the difference between herbicide and fertilizer. Nor do I care for clicking on a video on Terra Pera and getting a sermon on the evils of the ag chemicals that are keeping us fed. Here's what I hate in general about the BS over Terra Peta and the attempts to recreate it. It completely ignores the primary problem with our understanding of soil. Soil is not "stuff". Soil is not a set of things. It is a system of interactions. No one is going to recreate Terra Preta in North America or Europe anymore than they could recreate a tropical rain forest. Terra Preta is a tropical rainforest soil based in yellow clay. Putting charcoal and fish bones in the ground in Massachusetts isn't going to create Terra Peta any more than it's going to grow up in a rainforest of mahogany and howler monkeys.
That doesn't mean that we can't learn anything from it, and try to make something good here.
Hummus and humus are two different things. Humus is pronounced HYOO-muss. And hummus is pronounced HUH-muss
I had to double check that but yeah I concur.
Quite good, - but another "straw-hat" production.
You do not answer the question you are putting; "What is Terra Preta".
A lot of "blah, blah, blah" ... typical ... sorry, but you need critics to come up with something that is 2 - 3 minutes, efficient and "al grano" ... Good Luck!
