Also the rye cover crop plowed under gave you compost n nitrogen !
Saving the world.
Simply explained soil biology ! Easy to understand ! Can you tell my if my plan is good ? 52×18 feet plot. The soil is super crusty because the guy before rototilled it every year. I'm in zone 4B. I plan to sow winter rye in October or November and then cut it a couple weeks before planting around June 1st. Ill use the rye for mulch. Is this good to repair the soil and add organic matter ? Thanks !
Always a great video
Nice job Mark, you always explain so well.keep sending us oxygen from your great garden!
Natures way is always the best way humans are so arrogant thinks we can do it better
Mark love all you show us
Thanks for all of your information on the soil food web, Mark! Thanks for the content and education. Lovely work.
Great job, thank you for sharing.
Those are some wild results, thanks for all the teaching you do on this stuff.
i really wanna hear your thoughts of JADAM. Im first year realy small scale gardener and i dont have space to do test and trials so i use it in my entire garden and i see very good results. Im starting whit very poor soil.
Great explanation about the microbe cycle.. I saw a recent interview with Dr. Ingham on the Search for Soil YouTube channel and it was full of information. I know you mentioned balancing fungi and bacteria, but it gets a bit more complicated, depending upon what your growing. For instance, tomatoes requiring more fungal populations, than a crop like brassicas. I was also intrigued by perennial understory companion cover crops. Planting a low lying perennial cover crop, that comes back year after year in an annual bed production. Like a creeping tyme, Corsican mini mint, etc..
I've planted zinas, and have a lot that came up from seed that I planted last year. I just toss the spent blooms in the garden.
the only thing i dont agree with is mixing soil with organic matter, i beleive the organic matter belongs on the soil surface wher it breaks down faster because of more oxygen etc
Good job Mike. What do you think about oxidation? I mean mineral oxidation in aerated soil. I am confused especially manganese bioavailability anaerobic condition. Sorry for my English. I hope that you understand me. Thanks.
A very easy explanation to understand what could be a very complex subject!! TY much!!
Wood chips are plentiful here in the NW. Leaf mold requires some processing on our side to capture and mulch. Would you recommend one, the other, both, and in what situations? I see that wood chips are good at knocking down weeds where you don't want them. Leaf mold is a great planting medium (especially if you have worms living in them).

Love zinnias. They just give and give
Mark this is my second year for my raised beds and the worm population is exploding, used winter rye last late summer and will do the same this year ,fantastic moisture retention with huglekultur method along with leafmold in raised beds. Soil keeps getting better and better. Thank you for your vids my friend, regenerative agricultural is the way of the future building healthy soil, and people.
Mark I have to sincerely thank you… this year I took your advice and planted my entire garden in a foot of pure leaf mould… I was very skeptical this spring but I must say the plants are doing better than ever before and the entire garden in thriving and yielding to an almost unbelievable degree the plants are so incredibly healthy and vibrant and taste so flavorful
Wow, thanks again Mark for a great presentation on the organic web. Very valuable to have this in our system.
biggest problem I had this year was dealing with getting rid of the cover crop. It was a pain. Please cover that a bit more and show some different methods.
Thanks Mark
This is so cool ❤️
Thank you for this video!
Mark are you doing anything with wood chips?
Great photos explaining soil ecology. Ty vm
