- For any grower interested in achieving a healthy & organic crop, the full video of Glen's conversation with Jon Justenson and Joe Harp is a must watch - particularly for any grower with walnut orchards in compacted soil high in magnesium.
Great explanation
Chemistry has left the chat.
Enlightened farmer
did he say Ca wants to grab onto Na and Mg?
Yes
This guy needs a chemistry lesson.
I'm pretty sure his other job is selling equipment 😅
It can group woth those things with anions like oxygen which would sit between the metals. Although It wont "want to" grab onto that stuff if theres water.
Yeah. Is it fake and dumb?
Bet an Electro culture atmospheric antenna would help the electrical charge if the crops need a little boost
I bet an Ecosystem would help it too😂
This is hippy dippy nonsense
And an alfoil tin hat on each tree?
Any such thing available in the market?

@SoilWorksLLC is there a way you take our hard water and do something useful with it?
Why not use powdered eggshells ??
They are calcium carbonate, Plus, they have other minerals that will enrich the soil.
Tell us where you can find 44,000 lb of eggshells?

No one said not to
Are you adding lime (CaO) or calcium carbonate (CaCO3) - this is where you are confusing people. Does your process turn limestone into lime? I have no idea what your product is or does.
So tums are better soil amendments than gypsum?
Calcium doesn’t bond with magnesium. And by “salt” I assume you mean sodium? Calcium doesn’t bond with sodium either. Did I misunderstand?
Where can i buy this product i live in Sweden
Limestone is in every garden nursery in Canada. You must have them in Sweden?
@@gracegwozdz8185 yes but not soilworks productd
You're almost there. Missing a few key ingredients. Julius Hensel's book BREAD FROM STONES.
You either do it right or it's just guess work.
What ingredients? I’m truly curious.
@@recruiter8323 the most popular search engine has this book freely available.
So could this be used to charge bio-char
Dolomite lime works well also.
And you get magnesium as well.
A heavy soil( lots of clay) usually has an excess of Mg.
Adding more will just make the soil tighter.
@@williamevans6522this is why clay soils need gypsum and organic matter with a strong cover crop rotation
Gypsum works great and doesn't harm ph
Gypsum
I never thought about the electro-function of soils before. I suppose in the same way I need electrolytes, my plants need that too.
Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
How can I add calcium to my garden without buying an expensive product?
Compost dandelions before going to seed. Compost egg shells.
Check out water soluble calcium recipes based on eggshells
@@PerennialGrowth How do we know how much is needed?
@@evoliveoil you would have to get soil or plant test to see but these are generally applied in parts of the crop cycle where demand for calcium is high. There are dilution ratios available for most preparations. These are usually 1:1000 if I remember correctly.
Grow weeds
So egg shells= calcium carbonate
Calcium is Ca2+ and it will lock only with negative charge. 😂
While I admire his energy, and while he may be correct in the sense that his soil management may yield good results, his chemistry is so wrong as to discredit him.
While Glen’s approach might seem unconventional, many growers have seen positive results with our methods. We’re always open to discussing and improving our practices based on constructive input. If you have specific chemistry concerns, we’d love to hear more and address them.
@@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium I think the main concern they had was the assertion that calcium would grab on to other metals (sodium and magnesium), when this is not how ionic bonds usually work. Metals like Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium tend to lose electrons during the ionization process, giving them a net positive charge that allows them to bond with negatively charged ions like carbonate, fluoride, or chloride. Ions are attracted to other ions, but only when they have an opposite charge, which metals will typically never have with each other, and therefore they cannot bond, or otherwise "grab onto" each other, as was suggested in the video.
Now, negatively charged metals CAN be SYNTHESIZED in a lab setting, but it's just not something that typically happens in nature, which is why people are saying their chemistry was incorrect.
His chemistry is totally wrong, but the calcium obviously has other positive effects on the soil that he thinks is calcium grabbing other metal ions and doing I don't know what to them.
One thing I do see is a lot of bare soil.
Is there any scientific base for those claims? A lot of anthropomorphisms "it wants this, it wants that".
Hydrated lime would be cheaper and dolomite would do the same job, but you do you and chemistry doesn't apply in any field near you.
I like his science better than the "science" from the "scientists' forced on top of humanity!
Cant belive I believed this guy at first. The more videos I see the more full of crap he is. Never seen someone so right and so wrong at the same time.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We understand that agricultural science and practices can be complex and sometimes contentious topics. Our goal is to provide information and solutions that have worked for many farmers, as demonstrated on our research farm where we test and validate our products and methods. We encourage you to keep questioning and exploring different perspectives.
@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium I have a bachelor's degree in agronomy lol thanks though
@@TMacDo243yeah what do they teach you just keep using chemicals??
Do all the solutions have to be chemical company approved?
@scottprather5645 the methodology I learned was no till, and back when I was in college the idea of variable application rates was just starting to become me technology. So no... not at all. We learned to diagnose soil fertility and compaction, how to amend and solve the issues using both chemistry and physics. Industrial ag uses a lot of chemicals, that's no secret. But the alternative would not feed as many people per acre/ total energy used.
@@TMacDo243 okay that sounds valid I'm just a home Gardener I am 100% organic I just put the organic nutrients in and nature figures it out and it works incredibly well My garden is like a little nature sanctuary honey bees butterflies interesting insects etc . I realize doing things on a large scale is a different ball game I live in California I've seen the massive agricultural fields in Central valley imperial valley, Blythe etc. flood plain of the Colorado River etc. All these soils that were once incredibly naturally fertile but have been depleted over the years and now require the addition of chemical fertilizers. I also realize there 's no way you could have a big enough supply of organic fertilizers to farm on that massive of a scale.
He looks so untrustworthy. Lots of gesturing, not much information in all the words and scenery chewing.
Milk works too. You don’t need his products.
While milk can provide some benefits for small gardeners, it’s really not practical or economical for larger agricultural operations, especially the large orchards that many of our growers are managing. GSR Calcium is specifically formulated (grams per acre) to address soil health issues efficiently and effectively, making it a more viable option for small, medium & large-scale growers. For what it’s worth, the GSR Calcium can work wonders for small gardeners, too! Cheers!
is he joking? is this a joke? really, I'm not sure.
Load of crap
It's a gross oversimplification of a complex process to help someone wildly ignorant begin to understand the principles.
You have a lot of reading to do.
@@asbestosfibers1325interesting name but the simple thing is that he’s talking bs
Agree. I'm a chemist and he is 100% talking nonsense. So many things wrong and 90% of what he's saying is completely made up on the spot.
No, load of Calcium
But for every 44000 load you get 3800 lbs of bs. Lo
When will America stop being so damn stubborn and just speak in "metric" ??
