Part 2 Soil Microscopy with Organic Alexa (@organic.alexa on IG and http://www.organicalexa.com)
This week we slow it down and start by looking at unhealthy, traditional agricultural soil that lacks bio-diversity in microorganisms. Alexa then shows an active and bio-diverse sample of cedar leaf mold.
We dissect the organisms that are present in the healthy soils and get a better understanding on how a diverse soil can be mimicked in compost teas, extracts and other inputs.
Alexa does an amazing job and really breaking down the nutrient cycle by explaining the different organisms: bacteria and fungi are the food for the protozoa and nematodes and by these organisms being present and processed, they are essentially cycling the nutrients in your soil.
Understanding how to 'steer' your teas to be more bio-diverse (bioactive) and what it is to look for in those inputs is a great way to elevate your game.
Then we get into what different inputs look like under the micrscope (compost teas, compost, worm castings)
The community questions this week:
53:00 - When scoping a tea, should one collect a sample of foam or the liquid? Is there a protocol for tea that differs from scoping soil?54:40 - What's a good starter microscope?56:30 - What books you would recommend to reference different microbes?57:40 - Why do mycorrhizae makes bio photons?1:01:20 - Thoughts on adding green sand and grasses versus using a diverse cover crop?1:05:00 - What am I getting by just using castings in a short/soak extract (compost extract) rather than a bubbled tea (aerated compost tea)?1:11:55 - Whats the bigger difference between compost tea and worm tea?1:15:45 - Is using a compost tea better than top-dressing compost?You can support this free show by supporting the small-businesses that run this show:

Cuauhtemoc Villa is an educator and pioneer in the regenerative community who not only teaches, but SHOWS people how to unlock the power of healthy, clean soils using Effective Microorganisms (EM), Bokashi and Bio-Char.
Cuauhtemoc has nearly 20 years of experience preparing EM with an ability to help YOU UNDERSTAND why it is a miracle in regenerative agriculture.
Topics Discussed:
What is Effective Microorganisms (EM) and How Do You Make It?
How can EM be used in bio-remediaton of soils and waterways?
What is Bio-Char and Why Is It Important?
How Do You Make Bio-Char?
What Kind of Information does the Carbon in Bio-Char Hold and Transfer?
Questions Asked:
What rate of Sea Water is used to re-mineralize RO?How Do I Make EM at Home?Is RO Water considered "Clean Water" or lifeless water in your opinion?Do You Like to add anything additional to your bokashi after ferment?When worms get that purple sheen, is that the abundance of Purple Non-Sulphur Bacteria (PNSB)?Can you explain Super Ceramics powder?When you use molasses, should you put it in hot water before using it?How can I remove viroids in my soil?Is any wood OK for making biochar?What are the best woods to use for biochar?Could there be any benefits to making bio-char with driftwood as opposed to other woods?What is a DIY Terra Preta compost pit?How much bio-char would you suggest using in worm and insect bins like isopods?Support this FREE show by supporting these amazing small-businesses:

This week we have the amazing opportunity to chat with Chris Trump of Biomei Solutions (biomei.solutions) and learn from a guy who has been teaching and SHOWING people how to succeed in natural farming for decades.
Topics discussed on todays show:
Indigenous Predatory Micro-Organisms (IPMO) - how Chris stumbled upon this preparation and how it is applied virtually anywhere in the world with amazing success. How to make IPMOHandling spider mites using natural farming inputsCommunity Questions:
Can you make IPMO with dead pest carcasses and how to effectively collect pests from your grow area to use in an IPMO preparationWhat are the best plants to use to detoxify soil and what should I do with that plant matter afterwards?What inputs would you recommend for a small home grower to use in a city without resources to go full KNF or Jadam?Has Chris Trump ever used predatory insects?Can you keep taking IMO1 collections from IMO3 and still have the efficacy of IPMO?For making IPMO, would taking dead bugs that have mycelium on them from inside your window sill and adding that to an IMO box be useful to collect more predatory fungi? If I have already made the KNF wetting agent, can I add herbal extracts such as rosemary, thyme and sage oils I have made, or could I use them in my OHN?Can you add insect frass to LABs to make a similar thing to IPMO?Is there a specific type of rice that works best for IMO collection?Are there any inputs that you use with cedar wood? Can cedar bark be used as an OHN ingredient or part of an IPM spray?You can support this FREE show and the people contributing by supporting these small businesses:
