I'm a 3rd year student at SRUC in Edinburgh, studying Garden & Greenspace Design. This is a great refresher class - easy to understand and enjoyable to watch.
what a passionate and factual lecture for learning about soil. thank you professor. this explains a lot around whats going on with my trees in my garden.
A Great lecture and very easy to understand. I live in Deland, Florida on 5 acres of woods ( pine trees / oaks trees / on a dirt road / with a natural slopped property ). I am keeping my property natural, while also creating an area to grow foods. NOTE: I just retired at the age of 55 yr / after 26 years; I sold my dealership ( Tractors and Mowers ). Now, I have been studying my own soil / maybe I should be a Pedology. An extra " Thank You " from this Marine... I plan on subscribing to your "channel ." OH YEA !
I'm in love with soils! Thanks for the beautiful explanation. Need more teachers like you who are passionate about their subject and instill the love for seeking knowledge in their students
Excellent video. I am taking a soil sustainability class right now how would I personally go about obtaining information on soil sampling right now. One of the exercises in the class is a question about what is in the soil of our home towns.
Great video Sir. I would like now to hear your advise on how to improve our soils. Our lawn of our newly constructed home (1.5 acres) isn't doing so well. I know it is mostly clay. Soil sample will be done next spring. But I am confused with all the options contained in videos on TH-cam that tell you how to improve it. I plan on annual aerations followed by adding organic matter into the soil to improve the topsoil horizon. Again, this video was very informative.
What a great lecture, thanks so much. I have a far fetched question, if for example, i grew bananas in soil that had been depleted of potassium, would that then mean that the bananas grown in that soil would also be depleted of potassium? Thanks in advance.
What about the e horizon between the a and b horizon? Where eluviation occurs. And the r horizon below the c horizon? Also, you keep mentioning hummus instead of pronouncing humus. Hummus is a food but humus is referring to soil.
It is kind-of humourous, how people talk about the 'dirt' under thier feet, the truth is that without it, the entire globe would come to a Grinding halt.
Speaking as a fifth-year student of soil science, the information you're presenting is way out of date and in some cases wrong. For example what does "humus" look like under a microscope? Hint: this is a trick question because no one can answer it.
Thank you. However, please pronounce humus correctly so that those watching do not learn to also pronounce it incorrectly, and then look like fools in front of an interview panel. You are pronouncing it as if it is the food hummus (blended chick peas with tahini, garlic, lemon). It should instead be pronounced hyoomuss. I also heard you pronounce incorrectly once as perkyoolation.

I appreciate soil. I classified and mapped soils for over 30 years
May I have someof these maps?

I really enjoy this.. this was an eye opener. Thank you
Do you have citations for the arable land loss trends at 5:20? I'm very interested in this.

Hey man loved your video. I have been so excited about the topic lately and this was exactly what I needed. Can't wait to check out your other stuff.
Very nice!

yes
What about having "soiled" oneself, isn't that a pretty dirty connotation?
Hippie view of a serious subject
Thaaanks 👍👍
You are amazing. Excellent lecture.
Hi Ian ,i feel haunted at the taught of soils and this intro really cemented a perception of mine so tks again . Your loyal subscriber :)
Excellent ...love this.
Very informative for leaners and farmers... thanks
job mate
For the most part, the majority of food we need to survive on grows on the top foot of the earth.
Take a look see on regenerative agriculture. In 2 years, make rich soil for the farm or garden.
👌🏾
All the best
l learn lots about soil great video
There are vitamins in the soil?? ..that the plants consume so we get them later??? 0:47
Can someone please help me with this module
Soil is meant to be used, not to have it in a museum for a 1,000 years.
What about the e horizon between the a and b horizon? Where eluviation occurs. And the r horizon below the c horizon? Also, you keep mentioning hummus instead of pronouncing humus. Hummus is a food but humus is referring to soil.
i'm sentimental over sediment
"dark brown. yeah, good stuff, dark brown."
are we building houses or plants...lol
It is kind-of humourous,
how people talk about
the 'dirt' under thier feet,
the truth is that without it,
the entire globe would come to a Grinding halt.
Anyone having trouble with this/soil science should go watch Dirt! The Movie. Then study.
this is political soil doesn't give a damn if it kills us as the history of geology
1970 called. They want their pie chart back.
Good video but the world population is expected to top out at around 10 billion.
28:23 Out of context tho.
soil would do fine without people
Suddenly, a bucket of sand is actually interesting.
I teach my students soil is NOT renewable because it isn't renewed in a human's lifetime. There are so many definitions of renewable/non-renewable.
