Three years ago, faced with a seemingly barren 50-acre landscape, Cathy and Ian embarked on a mission to rejuvenate their land for optimal fruit production. Their current plan involves cultivating fruit trees, consisting of about 50 varieties in total, of different types of apples, plums, peaches, nectarines, and crabapples. The fruit trees are grown alongside nitrogen-fixing trees, for a total of nearly 600 trees. Join us to see how the soil has undergone a remarkable transformation, is pulsating with vitality, and provides a promising sign for the orchard's future.

----------
The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

I live on 11 acres in Montana on the side of a hill. I feed the corvids and other birds in bird feeding stations. In short the birds feed as well as deers, elk, moose, and bears, coyotes, fox, skunks etc. by endlessly feeding the birds etc, they fertilize the whole property, while I watch them. Food is a currency. All I have to do is feed them and they do the rest.
This is wonderful, thank yousuch. We can save this lovely earth
Thank you kindly for your response above… One big question, I’m pretty sure you guys and Elaine have looked into Terra Preta from the Amazon Jungle, have you made a video or documented it’s contents? You know the Pixie Dust Effect of being beyond regenerative? What microbes and fungi are in it that make it SO special? Thank you in advance, it was Elaine and Vandana who opened my eyes to the magic of Living Soil.
Awsome, thanks! About coated seeds i use to soak 12 hours in biological inoculants from compost plus amendments, after drain and mix with lime or bone meal, diatomacea earth....and runs pretty well on broadcast seeder.
