Soil Science was compulsory as a horticultural student in the 80s in the UK. Since then it has largely been dropped. See the result? History teaches us lessons
Are the classes all day long? I can only find where it says Saturday 9:00. What time do the others start and how long do they last and can we watch replays if we are unavailable at the time of recording?
For the Introduction to Regenerative Soil course, I'll be releasing videos on Mondays and we'll be doing LIVE Q&A on Saturdays based on Surveys that go out on Fridays, so I can answer everyone's questions and give them the time to fit it in where it works for them.
Thank you Matt. Soils are truly fascinating. As I'm still wrestling through Weil and Brady's 'The Nature and Properties of Soils', I'll have to keep this one for a bit later. But you seems to have done a lot of thinking on it. The illustrations look great! On one thing we surely agree; the world is in a precarious state. Don't give up though. (as a by the way: saw Joe Jenkins book being listed together with yours, somewhere at 22.40? Will his cause be taken up in your course? I believe here's a man worthy of most praise, and I mean that) Greetings
Hello Matt, I’m seeing that your teaching background is really helping to get all this, sometimes rather dry material, out there. It’s so important. I’m based in Spain, and on your website it says overseas shipping for your ‘Soil’ book is “sold out”, not sure what that means. I’d like to get the book to use as a resource to pass on this knowledge, and to acknowledge and give thanks for what you have done. I’ve just watched the end, doh. Soil science, the carbon cycle, the chemical side, can all be a bit much for lay people, your explanations and illustrations really help. You are right and I wish people like Bill Gates listened to you and Elaine Ingham (among others) rather than going down the ultra technological route, SOIL IS THE ANSWER. Can you imagine the power of turning 250,000 acres (Gates’ supposed acreage) over to regenerative agriculture, and teaching others to do the same? Producing nutrition dense, clean food. We need to get this knowledge out there, no till, more cover cropping, more growing plants and more biology. Wishing you and your family all the best 🌱🌱🌱
Regenerative Soil's back pages has the references BUT I don't have the biosphere stuff in there ;) that's just a good example and the articles are easy to find with the titles and dates up there. I think you'll dig the book & the deeper research - it was 42 pages of references 12 pt font single spaced before I shrank it for the print copy ;) www.thepermaculturestudent.com/shop/regenerative-soil-science-amp-solutions-manual-pre-order
As I was listening to this video, you gave me the answer on where I needed to plant my blueberry and strawberry plants (that are currently waiting to be planted because of all the snow we have on the ground.)
Yes for sure :) I'm even thinking of doing another run through shortly after I finish this first session (I'm building as I go in a feedback loop with the students so it's a lot of work but it'll be exactly what folks need and I'll be able to better share what's in it via video clips once it's completed). For example, I've never done animations prior to this course, but I'm now doing them more and more and I think folks will really dig it ;) So stay tuned!! More to come!!! :) :) :) - Matt
I know you touted Korean Natural Farming, but I asked Elaine Ingham about it once in a webinar and she seemed very antagonistic towards it. She said it was anaerobic and therefore not the kind of bacteria that we want to produce for the soil. What are your thoughts on that?
It's wonderful that people can learn, grow, and adapt - Elaine's revised her opinions on a lot of things especially lately. Did you catch her touting EM in one of my last videos? (the feared anaerobic brew according to her from not too long ago - she's studying more and gaining understanding in areas outside her original works).
Hey Matt cracking presentation, Very interesting. I’ve got a question for you? Have you written or can you recommend a book that’s kind of a small cheat sheet reference book on permaculture. A lot of the books I have are gigantic tomes that I struggle to use for quick reference. I have ready many book on permaculture and understand the why and how to some degree but I struggle to remember the finer details like a the various ratios for making fertiliser tea or earthwork construction guidelines for Swales or what understory plants make good nitrogen fixers etc any help would be greatly appreciated....... a kind of permaculture cookbook, that’s what I’m after 😂
They also accidentally unknowingly introduced Brazilian Ants to the Biosphere. Refused to eat the animals that were provided for that purpose and threw the whole system out of whack.
Great job on this presentation Matt! I really appreciate all the hard work you do. Your changing lives brother more than you'll ever know.
Inspiring. I think you are scratching the surface of changing the world.
You actually make SOIL exciting! Thank you!! Yes! I have your book, several of them, in fact!
Absolute legend matt ,keep ripping mate.
You're an inspiration to all Matt, you have a beautiful energy with you. Much love 👍💖
Epic! Awesome work.
I bought the book love books this one def going to hand down to my kids

Matt, well done. Do you have a link for your presentation materials?

That's awesome!!
are you going to have your online course again
Yes for sure :) I'm even thinking of doing another run through shortly after I finish this first session (I'm building as I go in a feedback loop with the students so it's a lot of work but it'll be exactly what folks need and I'll be able to better share what's in it via video clips once it's completed).

Kinda of topic question but can you apply permaculture in houseplants?
Houseplants can be grown in living regenerative soils :)
