Dr. Elaine, thank you so much for your work and for sharing these case studies in detail! As far as site recon and research prior to planning, is there any method of determining the presence, prevalence, and species diversity of dormant/latent fungal/bacterial spores in the environment? Would it make sense or be practical to "transplant" and culture biology from desirable contexts? Was grazing a component of the project in Texas/? Sorry if I missed it. Also, bioturbation is discouraged in agricultural and pasture settings. This probably contributes to a lack of topographic complexity and water catchment, leading to moonlike surfaces with primordial puddles fostering anaerobes... Oops, rambled. Thanks much for the inspiration and for sharing your work!
Hello Diego have watched a few of your videos now and really enjoy them and find them very informative. I don’t know if you have already found this out but in one of your videos you were saying about no matter how many holes you drilled in a trash can you could still get anaerobic compost at the bottom where it stays wet I think this is down to the perched water table if you put a Wick in the bottom you can direct the leachate to a container if you have it raised of the soil, if the bottom with holes in is in contact with the soil gravity takes over and it drains. Hope I’ve got this right and I’m not telling you something you already know.love the videos 👍
For the air pump, would a solar-powered aerator pump with diffusers work? that way the tea never passes through pump nor tubing. The bubbles just constantly aerate.
`i made my first batch of compost tea. We have had heavy rain daily this week. Will that harm/ wash away the micro organisms that I (hopefully) inoculated into my garden?
Cheguei aqui estudando sintropia, acredito que unindo as duas práticas, promovendo a biodiversidade cima e baixo teremos o melhor caminho para seguir!!! Um abraço, camarada! 🌲🌳
How do NONE of these compost tea videos mention that you can make it without an aerator if you brew it for a week stirring twice a day... Found that out randomly looking up homemade calcium remedies. I had been waiting on buying a pump but now I've already started my first batch in a bucket today.
You can not get oxigen in a bucket with just stirring it twice a day. If I have a lot of fish in a bucket you can keep them alive with a areation pump to give oxigen, with stirring 2 times they will be gasping for air, eventually die. Same for bacteria
I think the point is that of course you can do it all different ways, but the growing conditions (temperture, oxygen level, food, pH etc) will determine which organisms and how many of each kind are alive and thriving at the end of the brew.
I don’t think you can expect the same results this seminar is describing with that method, but it’s probably something? A couple challenges with the method you’ve described would be that your brew either wont have enough or consistent enough oxygen to sustain a dense population of aerobic microbes, if you have too much food in the solution your microbes will over populate and consume all the oxygen, and a week is probably too long to try and maintain an aerobic environment. It sounds like a better option for you might be to do a compost extract by taking good compost, flushing good water through it, and using it immediately.
Why? Because in a week most beneficial biology will dead and you'll be mostly be feeding aneorobic pathogens. You need to aerate to keep beneficials alive.

Hey Diego. Where did you go dude?
much love brother hope all is well
Diego!! Where you at!!!
Love the educational side of this!
This example of greening a parking lot is w9nderful !
Absolutely wonderful information...Appreciated the video.
Where in the world is Diego?
Right? His content just stopped...
I didn't realize that spraying compost tea on leaves would be so effective at preventing some of the diseases.
She goes over it in another video, the bacteria actually create a protective layer so things can't even attack the leaf tissues. How neat!

Is Diego ok? I noticed it's been months since he posted?
I hope he's ok. Diego, we miss you!
He does his podcasts regularly. Don't know why he stopped posting on YT
@@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb found him! In search of soil - of course. Thank you!
@@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb Thanks! Where can I find his podcast? Do you know the name of it?
Where has the Dr been. No new videos in a long time
She hasn't looked healthy - hollow cheeks.
Wondering the same thing
Thank you for the amazing video series :)
are you coming back to youtube

Where specifically in Dubai is Dr Elaine and Geoff Lawton doing these projects. I live in Dubai and I would like to visit their work/projects
`i made my first batch of compost tea. We have had heavy rain daily this week. Will that harm/ wash away the micro organisms that I (hopefully) inoculated into my garden?
wow
Hola, maravilloso proyecto, por favor mira sobre agricultura sintropica te va a cambiar la vida!!

More lecture, can we not get actual video footage of this subject. This lady is boring
Different strokes. I find it absolutely fascinating!
@@alexrottb Me too
What would the video show? It's educational not entertainment
