It’s long, but packed with the latest thinking on knowledge on plant nutrition and soil biology. The fact that biology even exists in the tissues of the plants and that seeds are inoculated by the plants so they can get a good start just confirms to me that using any type of fungicide or pesticide is going to be counterproductive. I really think the psychological factors at play in farming, the fear of loosing it all, so the desperate reaching for the familiar chemicals, cannot be ignored. For farmers to move away from traditional farming they have to diversify a lot more so that a bad year doesn’t wipe them out. As in the soil, the farmers must have more going on. Is there enough support for that shift?
Always a great presentation by Joel. Listening in from Swift Crrent, Saskatchewan, Canada. Organic farmer Agree totally with multi-species cropping, as we have used this technique for some years now. Cheers Garry and Geri Johnson
One of the best presentations I have seen that pulls so many needed parts together for nutrition and plant health! Bravo!
Excellent presentation! Probably the best available, telling not just how, but why.
