@2:20 i would eat / grow radishes, just for the fact they make the soil better. its also a reason people dont eat them, because that is not the dynamic at the grocery store
Dr. Weil is a national treasure but the USDA is a willing accomplice in the murder of America's soils. This video, for me, is an opportunity to hear the message despite the messenger.
No offense but that sounds kind of like what the Chinese were talking about during the Great Leap Forward. The difference being that they were claiming that you had to dig down many feet to get the good soil with the better nutrients, not anything related to water. .
Great but, why is the focus always on Radish's when it comes to deep penetrating tap roots? I know that they're fast growing and tolerate cool conditions but i can think of other plants; Burdock for one, or Parsnip, and there's Chicory....?
James, thanks for commenting - you are correct. I focused on radish simply because it is the species I have worked with the most and it is one of the best performers for biodrilling with seed readily available..and does not tend to become a weed. Other Brassicas like rapseed perform almost as well in a similar niche. I have no data on parnsip biodrilling rates, but I am impressed with its root growth in my garden.
I wish I could see natural springs, seems we got rid of them? I wounder if some even know what they look like, I bet you they would show up in spring and disaapere, I think I did see one close to lake it made a creek, lol
Yea that's great if your soil is 6ft deep and you are in dry areas?? Drought is not an issue where I'm at and even our best soils aren't 6ft deep. I need to till so the top 2 inches are broken up! Yes the top 2 inches that are just a smear from all the moisture. Ploughing dries my soil. If you don't want to create a pan have a crop rotation
I learned a lots with these book of Weil and Brady... am proud to known and still continuous learning about this lovely soil science....
I was gonna say Hey, that's the guy who wrote my book!
Soil is amazing
Is that pit OSHA compliant? J/k Just being a jerk. Thank you for the video.

What about the layer of soil that is below the top soil.
If I add a lot of compost & peat moss or coconut coir to it, can it replace top soil?
add some chocolate syrup, be delish
Cum on dirt ..m mm nasty

have that book
Daikon type radish covercrop can break through compacted layers.
very nice and useful
Hey, that’s my soil science professor! Here i am watching videos on TH-cam trying to figure out wtf is going on in his class
Extremely educational video fantastic. At the end of the video the print is extremely hard to read because it Blends into the background. Nice video

Thank you

Good wark
If you tried to dig that hole on my property all but the top 10 to 12 inches would be rock.
Rock people like watching soil videos for some reason.
DAIKON POWAAAAA!

What did you do for that land
Thank you I found this Praise the Lord Jesus
wow. that was genius
Wow
Y’all just shit all over every OSHA excavation manual!
As far as I know, It's not really safe to step into an unsupported pit this deep
Its safe.
@@ryelor123 no its not
Yes it is.
Good wark
