The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

Dr Elaine my question is pertaining bacteria or fungal dominated soil for cannabis specifically growing
Auto flowers compared to Photoperiod Fungal Dominated soil or Bacteria Dominated Soil which is better for Auto flowers ??? Curious because Auto flowers usually only take 90 days to grow seed to harvest very fast life cycle I would love your opinion. Thank you 💚🙏🤙
Hello Dr. Eileen Ingram, do you have an email that would allow me to contact you for a little correspondence please? I would greatly appreciate a little time to ask you a few questions if I may? Thank you very much Sincerely Richard Bell.
@Richard Bell Sr Thank you for your message. Please email us at info@soilfoodweb.com

Legend. Genius. Savior of my gardens 😊 thank you.. and I love you😊
Elaine Ingham is saving the world.
Saya orang asli indonesia yang menyimak ini, dan itu adalah pengetahuan. Saya berterima kasih.
As they say, a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing.
I have studied some soil science (years ago), but this talk has made me realise I am still a novice with much to learn.
Thank you Elaine for explaining things in such an easy to understand manner. I look forward to watching many more of your video presentations
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
'...I remember thinking, what's wrong with these people?...' Absolutely brilliant! Love this, extraordinary.
Understanding the soil food web has changed my ways of growing. Its helped more than anything.
The O.G. of soil science.
Never fail to learn something from this woman. Thank you Dr. Elaine!
Its official, you saved my compost Dr Elaine!👍🏻🙏😘👌approx 1\3 - 1\2 of a cubic yd. I have installed it on my lawn, and it has immediately shown health, and response. Thank You and the awesome panelists who gave their input, Farmers, biologists, nerds...all off your input and knowledge is gratefully acknowledged, you all taught me sumpin. lol.
🇨🇦👊🏻👨🏻🏭✨💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dear goodness this is an amazing video. Thank you for freely sharing so much knowledge with others.
I will have to watch this numerous times to fully understand how this all works.
Thank you! I am a big fan. I am just discovering your work but really appreciate what you are doing. This very significant work could be the saving grace for our planet!. I hope to take your course sometime soon and help to contribute to the good work you are doing for this planet and for us all.
Welcome aboard!
Me too Dear Dr. Elaine
Inspirational work. Thank you
This is my point of view the soil health is the mirror of the human health.
Fantastic, what a fabulous woman. This is beyond exciting how many people turn to these methods now. Great work Soil Food Web School 🌱
Great job
Thank you!!!
Many thanks 🙏😊
Thanks for sharing
I'm so grateful for your work. Its led me to the desire to pursue a degree in soil science. I cannot get enough interest in the soil food web!!!!
We are so happy you care about soil as much as we do!!
Love this...can't wait to take the classes and get certified...
Thank you Pioneer
Great thank you 🙏
I have followed you little, you are special, you know that you are very helpful, maybe most go out of curiosity to your talks, but it would be nice if it were because they were convinced that you will do something for them in their farming systems, it is what I make known to my present when I make a talk. God bless you.
Thank you Dr!! This was very informative and am a big fan of your work . Thank you v.much !!
Love it. Love it. Love it.
Excellent. What do you guys think of Bokashi? Advanced EM bokashi works with bone meal etc in anerobic compost but also amends soil or makes a soil drench tea or foliar. Wondering if it helps with protozoa along with bad bacteria? Will it effect my friendly fungi at all? From what I've read it's a safe win. So far so good. Just getting some nematodes finally for my no till indoor plants. Seeing this makes sense why they work so well and hang around.
Thank you for the great question! Please contact us at info@soilfoodweb.com so a member of our Science Team can get back to you.
Im definitely going to have to watch this a couple times.
34e minute most important mention! Thanks for this brilliant upload!
Excellent soil foodweb overlay! You are part of the ecosystem "in-situ"!
God bless you
We need to get together people across the state and the country that help and share information for gardening with answers and guidance!
Thanks ... 🇲🇨
Dr Ingham, my favorite soil scientist. I’m a fan girl.

Hi Dr Elaine,
I'm Tien. I'm from Vietnam. I really want to join your school and learn everything about soil from you. Is your school available in Vietnam ?
@Tien Ngo To learn more about our course offerings, please let us know about your goals and interests so that we can help you find the course(s) that will work best for you. Send to info@soilfoodweb.com
An interesting and easy to understand presentation by the eminent Dr Ingham for understanding mistakes that we are repeatedly committing and stripping the Soil and Earth of its basic natural strength to bring food to your systems and build a healthy ecology. The beginning of everything understandably the food systems and our survival vitals.
When is the best time to water outdoor potted plants?
Excellent lecture!!!
That's a wonderful talk!
I have a jack fruit tree over 20 years old located in south central India. It used to give good fruits until 4 years ago until I cut a water harvesting trench about 6 feet away. Since then it's gone haywire and forms very small fruit and few larger fruits mature much earlier and get spoilt or cracked on the tree.
Would welcome any answers and solutions to this problem. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the great question! Please contact us at info@soilfoodweb.com so a member of our Science Team can get back to you.
Sounds like you already have your answer! It needs it's water, divert some back to the tree.
Any thoughts on humic mining . Should we be using it?

@@soilfoodwebschool Thank you for your very interesting and intriguing answer to my question. I have passed on your comment to Soil Food Web School.
It’s important to understand that chemical fertilizers just wash away. Have you ever wondered why the soil in the woods doesn’t necessarily need to have fertilizer. It may have grown for hundreds of years. Truthfully the microbes are doing such an important 7:13 job for nutrition. The soil is there and is the mineral elements. The organic material being broken down by the organisms through their production of acids in the soil.
They can break down anything:silver, gold, titanium.
Will you be at the philly flower show
Is it best to have a balance of both aerobic and anaerobic bacterias rather than all most or all aerobic?
@billythekid5693 Great question. feel free to reach out to us at info@soilfoodweb.com
Dr. Ingham hello. I graduated 91 In Plant and Soil specializing in golf course turf and construction. We were taught to nuke everything due to weed competition and the pathology in a transition zone is wreched. I guess we were the Empire and I specifically was Darth Vader
Even darth vader had a redemption story.... A lot of people can change learning new processes
Mooi
Smile, everything will be fine)))
Hello mam I have one question is “save soil” project by Sadhguru scientifically sound plan? Also you are on their website so are you involved in this project? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for the great question! Please contact us at info@soilfoodweb.com so a member of our Science Team can get back to you.
@@soilfoodwebschool Thanks for that info I have already sent an email.
FYI: Farmers till to kill weeds, incorporate manure/fertilizer, prepare the seedbed etc. You should know that.
Just wondering if cattle and or other livestock are getting antibiotics which then plays into the end soil biology … then what about dewormers that are given to livestock…horses.. then does that goes into the soil..does that then kill the worms that we need in the soil?
I'm building my compose pile and in zone 6 I am soon to get adding soil from different areas to have diversity after I get the pile heating and mixing 3 times after cooking and cool down add that diversity, Shur hopefully have a good tea Already garden loads of last year compose and 4 inches of leaf mulcher leafs
Elaine hope you don't mind my asking , do you consider yourself a taker of cannabis? I know iam
What happens to the soil when you burn pile of weeds and grass on top then rototill the soil?
I'm growing sweetcorn is what I'm curious about my soil!
Thank you for the great question! Please contact us at info@soilfoodweb.com so a member of our Science Team can get back to you.
Do anyone have any input of using Effective Microorganisms 1 or EM1 on their plant or incorporating it with compost/compost tea for plant?
It is to my understanding that the microorganisms from the EM1 is made up from mostly from anaerobic bacteria (maybe im wrong here but the process of making EM is anaerobic process). And we know most anaerobic organisms produce bad stuff (toxins, pathogens)causing diseases. Yet,most study made regarding the use of EMs show spectacular results increasing plant health. There might be some info that im missing (not a scientist) ,would be glad if someone have an opinion about the matter.

Is somewhere an answer posted to this question? It popped up in my head also, as i was listening to this interresting lecture.
I just thought of something. Do we buy soil to put under the driveway before we pave it with asphalt & add dirt to fhe new raised garden beds? No. Why. Whsts the difference, and now we need to understand further that synthetic fertilisers turn your lawn & garden soil to Dirt. I wanted to draw an obvious line between the 2 products, then pose the argument for showing at least showing an interest in the Soil Food Web.🙏
Why earthworms absent in the soil food web? Thanks
Dr. Elaine just said... Chomping on organic materials for the microorganisms to decompose. But still why is it not part of soil food web?
Great Presentation - what I am left confused about is the claim that your biology in your gut would improve when you eat more soil(-organisms). If I remember correctly most of your bacteria in the gut are obligate anaerobic so not the guys you find in healthy soils. From Jack Gilbert I learnt that soil bactera and gut bacteria are a complete different set of species?
Thank you for the great question! Please contact us at info@soilfoodweb.com so a member of our Science Team can get back to you.
I believe the biology you eat is proper food for the anerobic bacteria, in a bacteria available form, improving gut bacteria.
How can she assert that fungi have existed for 3.5 billion years? LUCA is thought to be that old, fungi were way later. And of course fungi has been around longer than human beings because they are on completely different taxonomic levels. Fungi is a Family, equivalent to Metazoa, and animals have certainly been around for a while.
Is this channel run by Elaine Igham or her associates. Elaine needs to have her name attached to a specific channel dedicated to soil study.
Hello! Yes, this channel is run by Dr. Elaine Ingham and her associates together, under the name Soil Food Web School
@@soilfoodwebschool
Should add Ingham's name to the title of the school.
It is buddy, it's in the logo, bottom left of the screen
@@billiebruv
The logo says 'Dr Elaine's' in miniscule, inscrutable writing. The logo fails to help.
If you go to her channel, it's its readable if you get within 4 inches of the screen...
@@b_uppy Well, you know the logo pretty well now, shouldn't be an issue in the future, and on a PC screen, it's ginormous, 60mm+.

I always hear from you anaerobic respiration is not good.
Pls explain how rice paddy field soil thrives as it seems anaerobic
Paddies are only flooded at certain times. Many species can cope with wet conditions using a variety of mechanisms. The vast majority of plants however, and most food crops need friable soil. Even air pruning for roots is used in some containers.
@@katiekane5247 Interested in knowing more about air pruning in roots.
Does coconut palm tree be classified as one of those tree withstand wet conditions.
Also how to aerate clay soil if you may be able shed some insights. Appreciate your effort.
@@gbaranikumar I think the best way to keep soils well oxygenated and friable, is to prepare the land thoroughly as a once-off: Level the field, then use a chisel plough (it's a ripper with springs that has minimal surface disturbance, and no lateral compaction) to rip and cross rip. The crumbler will ensure a smooth finish.
Never ever disturb the soil surface again.
Try to keep something growing in the field all year around, to increase soil life.
Coat your seeds with a compost tea or some form of biological stimulant.
Your soils will change over time, by becoming darker at the top and more porous - it works in clays too.

Please reconsider your advocacy for disease ridden animal agriculture as it can never be ecologically sustainable.
The loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife. Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment, without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by 75%. An area equivalent to the U.S., China, EU, and Australia combined---and still feed the world.

In the U.S., heart disease is our #1 killer. American cardiologists Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reversed heart disease without any drugs and surgery. This was only possible by fully eliminating all animal products.
