Soil Solutions Series | Ep. 05 | Dead Zones in Soil #soilhealth #regenerativeagriculture
Struggling with soil that just won’t grow anything? You may have a high EC (electrical conductivity) or “dead zone” caused by excess sodium and salt. Glen Rabenberg and Dr. Tom Dykstra show how to use an EC meter to measure soil conductivity and explain the levels at which plants start to suffer. They also introduce calcium as a solution to neutralize high salts and restore your soil’s health. This video is packed with practical tips on how to tackle tough saline and sodic soils, from identifying the problem to fixing it for better crop yields.

    Here is where No Till needs to pay attention: The Soil must be able to breathe. How much you can open it without Erosion is the key. No one plan fits everywhere. The No Till experiment has reached it's conclusion on my farm. Will I deep till? ONLY AS NEEDED. I have a horrible compaction zone down to 18 inches in many places. Trying to decide if Ripping is the answer or a deep Chisel plowing of say 10". No more GMO, no more Microbe killing chemicals.

    The problem with sugar and molasses is that it creates a bloom of New microbiology but then they crash back to regular levels once the sugar is gone and they don't stay around.

    So are you using calcium as pH correction or as a floculant.calcium is an important element as far as the up take of essential nutrients and microrganisms being able to convert them .

    This works because you create a temporary flush of activity. And when the energy sources dwindle, the new bacteria die and their bodies become humus and humus has been known forever to increase the E.C. of your soil.
