Would you be able to use outside soil and bring it inside to have house plants?
Looking forward to this series especially going into the new year. Do you have any experience or opinion on korean natural farming?

Thank you for sharing your insights. Good information!

Marc – no offense, but you do need to add minerals (from time to time) back to your soil. It's like taking money out of the bank. Every time you grow something in your soil – it's taking nutrients out of your soil. That is one of the reasons why the farmlands in the US today are so depleted of mineral density (that and the chemical farming that took place for so many years). Use Rock Dust, and I would also recommend you look in to Korean Natural Farming. They have a Facebook group. Chris Trump and Drake are the major ambassadors of this method back there in the US. Mastor Cho is an amazing man who has come up with a very simple and inexpensive way for farmers to truly do organic gardening using brown sugar and microbes.
We so appreciate your videos and knowledge that you share with us!!! We often share your information with others… and hope that they start to understand these ideas. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Great video…enjoying many that I am catching up on since I found you…here is my question…I have a couple self watering “containers”…that I do well growing in, because they are in better sun than my little garden, and no tree roots to compete with the veggies. Like everyone here, we want to grow food that is nutritious, and I do add minerals based on The Intelligent Gardener (by Steve Solomon)’s formula. And my “soil” is a mixture of my own compost which does have soil in it, peat and vermiculite. But I do wonder if it is as nutritious as the soil. I hope those refractories come down in price soon so we can test the quality of veggies and fruits we grow. Any input is most welcome!! Thanks!
I envy most gardeners soils, they tend to have worms. Me? The island i live have very little. The only worms i ever seen can only be found in the weirdest place, decomposing seaweed on the beach and said seaweed still gets wet with seawater at high tide. I intend to make use of the stuff and with it, i'll get some worms but what ever kind of worm they are i question if they will be of any real help. They are not thick like red wigglers they are barely as thick as the graphite in a pencil and can grow to be about 2-5 inches long.
Well' if we're going by your definition od soil, what i can get my hands on most certainly is NOT but sadly actual soil is non existent here (which is why worms are hard to find). Is it possible that over time through the use of composts and adding different bacteria and fungi , i can get what you would call actual soil? I may not have soil but i do have access to decomposed seaweed and i can make compost
This is confusing to me. I learned that you shouldn't start seeds in native soil. I was setting up growing medium with peat moss and vermiculite then add compost. I thought peat moss is natural and breaks down into soil. What should I start my seeds in?
Hi thank you for your series. It reaches far and wide even to Australia. I have a question about a Tree. This tree is going to be knocked down and this area will be replaced by other trees that produce fruit. The soil is sandy and compacted by the years the tree has been there. Once the tree is gone, How would you approach the stump and root system? My old thought pattern would have been to dig up the stump and the root system but now after watching your videos Im not to sure. I will be covering the ground with a huge amount of leaves and wood chips to let nature do its thing. But if you could help with my question would be wonderful from Australia. Cris
Great video. Thank you
Great discussion with a bunch of great information,,,there is a great book,,,the title is “teaming with microbes” which goes a bit more in depth in some of your talking points…thanks for this video,,,many many people totally are missing this key component,,,earth
I liked this video. Had some solid info and content.
What do you think about water Super Imploders? Fractal/structured water?
Very nice… support my channel too
hey Mark I have about 8 inches of wood chips 3 to 4 years old rain doesn't seem to be able to penetrate to get to the soil. Any suggestions not breaking down very well either
Hi Mark, this is Michael from Staten Island NY. I need your advice on something; I planted Fava beans and Garlic in early November and before the weather gets bad I decided to make a greenhouse for them. This was made out of PVC pipes and a plastic tarp. I noticed this morning that there's a lot of condensation built inside of it, now my question is, is the condensation something I should worry about? Or, is it normal and not harmful? Please lend me any helpful advice, thank you
It’s like the gut microbiome. Interesting.
This is so great thank you. I watch u from Korea. How about using peatmoss in wicking container but actual plant growing in soil? Not all of us has land like u do. Mine s all rock and terrible windy weather so I have to use container.
I live in Florida St Pete I can't grow anything in this soil. what do I do to make it better?

Would be better if you did a side by side comparison with the peat moss in water perlite floats, peat does too until it saturated …lime probably sinks
Hello Mark. I’ve watched your videos for a couple years now and each one is worth the time. Do you have a video discussing weed preventative methods when converting to no till? Yes, I grow winter cover…but that in no way acts as a weed preventative at this point in my two year old horse pasture
converted garden. Have I missed a video describing this? Thanks, Bill
Greetings to your Weimaraner dog.
Mark is one of the onliest professials about plant production in English language her.
I also recommend the Austrian natural landscape gardener's 'Markus Burkhard' channel which is in German language.
I live in NW Montana by a lake. Soil is very rocky so I’ve been doing raised bed gardening. Do you have any suggestions to grow right in soil?
I’m reading that a good balance of good fungus and bacteria are what plants need. On my Journey I see that this ratio determines the pH and Eh of the soil. In your experience, looking at the soil food web, under a microscope, have you found a way to record the percentages of bacteria and fungus. Or Is this something that can be checked by doing a Ph test, the. adding Amendments to balance the bacteria and/or fungus ratio, Ultimately feeding one of the other to balance.
I hope I’m making sense, if not I’d be glade to reword things. Thank you
I am concidering creating a custom cover crop mix with Hairy vetch, buck wheat, crimson clover and winter rye for my yard, i am hoping these species of seeds will give a wild flower plus benefits of increasing soil nutrition…I noticed you mainly stick to winter rye?
