    Thank you this is exciting! This is how we feed the world and improve the Earth. If only more people took an interest.

    G'day fellow south Aussies love your videos and the work your putting in, I would love a follow up on your direct drill seeder video also. Both great methods of incorporation however this one is cracking good , I've loved dung beetles since I was boy this method is brilliant, can't think of a single negative and the positives just keep popping into my head, no degradation or pasture down time all just carries on 24 7 while being grazed, no diesel no machines cheapest little love makin dung rollers ever, tractors don't make new little tractors on their own! Keep up the good work,,, more videos please

    Thanks for doing this awesome experiment. Soil health can only improve and folks will want golden fertilizer just like you.

    We have found that very little sweetener is needed to get them to eat the biochar. Some producers just use water.

      Youd probably really have to grind it up and mix it with mash or something.

    The cows look healthy, I been feeding my dairy cows FIR (carbon clay) for many years and they look better, have way less health problems and the manure has a better smell. Biochar is also in carbon clay but from thousands years ago.

    Another experiment would be trying different types of biochar. Like charcoal made at lower temperatures thats used for cooking or made in barrels with low oxygen vs charcoal made at high temperatures thats brittle that has a better absorption rate. And then compare that to activated carbon to see if using activated carbon is better or if its to costly compared to the other type of biochar.

    Why carcinogenic canola oil? Wouldn't it be counter productive to cattle health?

    what happens if charcoal absorbs nuclear radiation? anti-radiation or even keep radiation longer?
    which if a disaster occurs all farmers must dispose of their charcoal that has been planted for decades at a very high cost.

      Yeah what if, what if, then all barbecues will be forbidden as people in summer also heat their steaks on these nuclear charcoals you talk about.

      If there was a nuclear contamination that farm wouldn't be farmed with or without charcoal in the soil. You don't just clean up nuclear radiation. But charcoal in the soil can prevent things in the soil from leeching into an aquifer like if farmers in some areas use to much turkey manure those nitrates may leech into the water. Charcoal in the soil could prevent that and make it so farmers spread less manure over the years. That and in california theyre using charcoal to absorb cadium or some type of bad thing in the soil to lock it up so to speak. Its not removed from the soil, but doesn't leech out i heard.
