Great video. Love the down to earth approach by which you present some complex topics.

I try to add molasses to my nutrients regime, especially on nitrogen heavy crops. Sure seems to help make organic fertilizers work faster. My favourite inoculent is 4 parts oat meal, 2 parts fresh worm compost, 2 parts wheat bran mix in with a drizzle of molasses. Leave it in a dark warm place for a week. Boom your soil will darken and have life again, nutrients will cycle. 1gallon covers 1000sq ft.

Great presentation Sir! I now understand what is soil pH philosophy.

A brilliant video! Informative!

Sulphur, you should use lime that sweeten the soil and usually brings it back to good pH

The problem is that most municipal water sources are working against you. Most municipal water is a bicarbonate buffered system (like the ocean) with a pH of around 8.0. So you are constantly adding bicarbonate to the soil in addition to things like trihalomethane and chloramines.

You are right in your comment. Municipal watering systems add nutrients with a high nitrogen and phosphorous content because they support plant growth and it is necessary. But if you find a natural source and supply that helps the soil and its pH to move towards a natural ecological balance, then you do not need to apply bicarbonate regularly. That nature-based material exists.

I need someone with this much understanding come take a look at my backyard to see where I'm at, and what I need to do so that my shade trees could thrive....(beside water lol) 😎

🇬🇧 great information thanks mate 👍

Very well presented

Amazing info

So what would you recommend for growing blueberries in a native soil that isn't between 4.5-5.5? Make sure it's well oxygenated?

Great presentation.

Do you have some videos on methods to accomplish these parameters for microbial activity? Let’s say my soil compaction is too high; what do I do about that? Or my EC is too high, what then?

Southern Ohio dirt is 5.4-5.8 and a high magnesium….solution? Fertilizer? Great job!! Thanks in advance.🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻

I wish my soil ph was 7.0 cause it was ph 4.8! Got it up to ph 6.0 now!!!

Does amending with sand help any in the this process?

What if I'm trying to raise the ph , 4.9 ,5.1 5.5 ?this is where my soils are.

Great video thanks Glen. We have reasonable calcium (65-75)% but relatively high Potassium (15%) and low exchangeable hydrogen soil's (

very high K in your field and may be displacing the calcium. what is your pH? K is 2 times more effective in raising pH than calcium. magnesium, 1.6 times more than calcium. sodium, 4 times more. in the end though, tis not the pH. tis the ratio of minerals to each other. in the Albrecht system, K should occupy only 2-5% of base saturation. Glen's company has 2 calcium products with different functions - one to sort of break up tightness of soils mostly due to high magnesium and the other for the present calcium needs of the plant...blessings

Thanks for the feedback Paul. Our pH is around 6-6.5. which is not too bad I would have thought. We haven't kept it up in recent years but we did a lot of liming here in the name of Albrecht but could still never get that K to budge. We don't have K in our fert anymore, but it's still crazy high everywhere we go. I am curious if we need more exchangeable hydrogen to kick the calcium off the carbonate to get some action perhaps. Despite all the liming we still see a lot of weeds and disease etc. It's a real head scratcher

@@grahamstevenson6417 wow! what a curious state of soil! tested with a penetrometer? you don't have to have one. just any steel rod will do - if it slides down easy or resists and would not go in except for forceful push down. how's the biology of your soil? microbes i mean. have you tried to push the microbial function with perhaps the Johnson-Su compost extract. Glen mentions their calcium product which aerates the soil a pound of which covers acres - i forget the rate. could help but of course do this after you have considered all the factors...

Thanks Paul. I am trying to get a hold of one to have another look. Typically the tilled cropping paddocks with stay loose enough for the season, down to the plow layer at least. But these will crust immediately after rain. Will see some holes from biology during the fall winter months, but as soon as the sun comes out in spring they run away. Pastures will ultimately settle and hardset like concrete ( which is a potassium thing I believe) after a couple of years. The loamy hard setting nature of these soil mean they tend not to swell and crack like clays do I guess. I gather the air would soon be mostly cut off. Gave "EM" microbes a go for 6 years , but nothing. From watching Glen's video's I now understand our 8-10:1 C:N ratio is not helping there. Wish I knew that gem earlier. Would love to try some of Glen's brews, but not sure they have then here in Australia. Glen maybe may enjoy a trip to Australia for a look? I'll put the kettle on hey? Really appreciate the feedback Paul 👍. I hope you are kicking goals with it all.

Why so?

Soil biology is the answer, stop dissing regenerative agriculture, all you want to do is sell your products.

Would it be accurate to say 16 to 1 "organic carbon compounds to nitrogen, aids in soil respiration and fertility? I understand biochar being pure carbon (mostly) is inert at normal soil temperatures.💯✌️🦚
