Do you have a parts list of what you used to build this. This is exactly what I want you to do on my farm. Awesome video thanks for sharing and inspiring me to build this.
We do have a parts list, diagram and instructions that we offer for sale as a digital download. We also stock select parts at our warehouse for sale, as well. Feel free to shoot us an email at info@soilworksllc.com or give us a jingle during normal business hours at 605-260-0784 and we can help get you started. Thanks!
The plants that you have groin in your yard today is because of the effort that you made the year before the year before the year before 💧🍎🍏🥭🥕🍠🥔🫑🥦🥭
Sulfur works fine
I have grass growing in my soil, what is the problem?
What is bondweed communicationg? Any ideas, (other than it’s time for a for sale sign?)
Humans have microbiom in the guts, plants in the roots. If you feed micro good, good will happen, if you treat them bad, your health/plant health wil be poor.

Sometimes these "weeds" can be good for your health or your needs.

That's why you dig around trees so the air gets in
Is that guy really named, Green Manure?
Why don't thistles grow out of some cow's ass then.
This is the biggest bunch of bs I have heard in years.....trying to make it sound like the thistles are some kind of benevolent creatures trying to help us. They are nothing more than an opportunistic pest. They grow anywhere they get a chance. My wife's garden, which is not at all compacted, has thistles coming back year after year.
While they might seem like simple opportunistic pests, the idea behind the video is that weeds, including thistles, often thrive where soil conditions allow them to outcompete other plants. In compacted or nutrient-imbalanced soils, thistles find an opportunity because they can handle those tougher conditions. That doesn’t mean they’re “benevolent,” but rather that they can be indicators of underlying soil issues. Even in non-compacted areas, they can be aggressive, but understanding their growth patterns can help us manage them more effectively.
Cow manure, the ultimate compost machines
Ive been implementing his ideas on my small 6yo orchard. I do what i can for cheap or free. I rottotilled the hardpack around my trees. Not suprising, there were no notable roots in the top 8 inches of the soil!!!!! . two weeks later the leaves turned bright green. Ive been amending as i can, next year is gonna be amazing. My apple tree is a differnt plant after 3 months . More updates to come!
This is the first video I saw of your channel, 2 minutes ago. And I hit subscribe. That good
1: No Til 2: Completely Organic 3: Always have a cover crop. 4: Intensive Herbivore grazing paddock to paddock.
Great advice. While not a perfect solution for all soils and all climates, it's a good start.
You will know your soil is alive when you see a lot of worms in your raised beds. Weeds are growing out of place because that soil doesn't have calcium, carbon, phosphorus, etc!
But I eat Dandelions and other weeds that are edible. But, whar is a good calcium?
@@sharonloomis5264 you need to watch all his videos. He explains this. He sells a pure ez uptake calcium. You can get other calcium sources but screw with your ph.balance ...but im a newb dont listen to me.
Love these videos! Great nuggets of information to reflect upon!
Ive been saying this for years! OM is prehumus and one of the possible bridges between is healthy fungal colonies and yet again abundant Ca
Thistles and dandillions. The diferrence is when the dandillions are filled with the calcium from deep within the soil, they they begin to desicate or rot to deposit the calcium on the surface
There is nothing healthy about a monoculture when nothing grows but the trees.
Our customer’s organic almond orchard is very much healthy. The focus here is on building robust soil health & structure, supporting microbial life, and maintaining high BRIX levels. These practices ensure that even in a single-crop system, the soil is vibrant, balanced, and capable of sustaining long-term productivity. It’s not just about what you see above ground; it’s about the thriving ecosystem below the surface. But no worries - we can agree to disagree.
Talking about compaction but does not define it.
Just so we’re on the same page, are you criticizing this TH-cam Short (limited to <60secs) from the longer Conference & Field Walk video (40mins) it’s linked to… because the Short doesn’t include a definition of compaction? Or is this your first time experiencing the word in this context and probably seeing a penetrometer for the first time? Or 🧌
@@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium Compaction is the focus of the video. It is clearly stated in the first sentence. Apparently you do not understand it either.
Glen further defines compaction and explains the use of the penetrometer starting in the first five minutes of the longer Conference & Field Walk video that we produced and share for free. The link to that video is in the description of this Short if you want to watch it. No worries either way. We’re experts at understanding how soil works and are also learning we shouldn’t assume every TH-cam viewer understands how TH-cam works. Happy to help.
Will it help to add molasses when plant goes into reproduction?
Yes, adding molasses when your plants enter the reproductive stage can help. Molasses feeds soil microbes, boosting nutrient availability, especially calcium and phosphorus, which are critical during this time. It also supports higher BRIX levels, which are key for plant health and resilience. And it probably goes without saying that having a high BRIX before reproduction is pretty important, too.
@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium thanks for the info and getting.back to me! Cheers!
Gonna go out right now and stack 10 bricks around my fields
😂
So...aerate?
You can’t test anything that you want. But if you don’t test the newer growth, I don’t know if you’ve used a certain nonmovable nutrients. A plant has some nutrients that I can move around, so your old growth may be getting robbed so that the plant can continue to grow, and some of the nutrients are not so mobile. So once they’re used up, they are used up. Testing older growth leaves won’t tell you about that if you don’t test the new leaves. Kind of makes you wonder what people actually knew about growing food or anything else, before this. How are professors do anything at all about the plants? They were growing, except for symptoms, which they were constantly checking.

I'm just starting my own farm. I'm planting fruit trees and grapes on my property. What can I do to put my best foot forward?
I live in a area with very hard water.. is that the same Calcium?
Would aeration help?
Look at your weeds. That will tell you what your soil is/needs. 🤨
What are GoatHeads after? Or how do you stop them????
So if you raise the brix in a hay meadow will this do away with the army worms?

Within the zones for growing almonds, does the location of the region, avg humidity, etc effect the health and output? I want to grow some almond trees, as I love them.
How far apart do almond trees need to be?
Mustard plants are lovely things to have growing in your garden.
So the un inhabited hills of Scotland are comoacted? By a deer that walked thru last year? Weeds are juat a plant growing in the wrong place (according to human ideas of the wrong place) most olants will thrive in healthy aerated soil, some species are 'pioneers' that colonise new ground and tolerate very poor soils. I used to dump out my hydroponic tank in the garden and some weeds grew huge, plenty of Ca and P in the solution, weeds seemed to love it. (Goal was to avoid using drains amd turn the leftover solution into biomass instead of polution).
Will molasses water on seed potatoes prevent scab on organic potatoes?
What does Spotted Knapweed tell about my soil? Please advise!
