This week we have the opportunity to talk with Matt Powers about permaculture and his new book Regenerative Soil Microscopy.

The origins of Matt Powers into a permaculture and regenerative practitioner - 02:00

20:27 - Matt explains the Regenerative Soil trilogy of books that he has authored

44:20 - When working with microbial DNA testing are you focused on fungal dominant microbes or bacterial dominant?

53:10 - Are endophytes visible under a scope? Are there any known microbes that prefer endophytic life?

1:01:13 - Can you please explain the difference between fungal dominant and bacterial dominant in the soil?

01:05:54 - What’s a good place to go for soil testing?

01:19:35 - Is there a correlation between the good smells in soil and certain organisms?

01:27:30 - How is it possible to achieve an environment with microbiological quorum sensing?

01:30:50 - How do you remediate high pH clay soil in an arid environment?

01:34:37 - Can you talk on paramagnetism and how soil uses that energy?

01:41:21 - How does pH and fungal domination correspond? Does mycelium grow better in acidic environments? If so can low pH Natural solvents with yeasts and chitin stimulate its growth?

01:44:05 - Are there certain mushrooms that can kill nematodes in soil/worm bins? Do all fruits of fungus reduce nematodes?

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:

1. 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?
2. 54:40 - What's a good starter microscope?
3. 56:30 - What books you would recommend to reference different microbes?
4. 57:40 - Why do mycorrhizae makes bio photons?
5. 1:01:20 - Thoughts on adding green sand and grasses versus using a diverse cover crop?
6. 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)?
7. 1:11:55 - Whats the bigger difference between compost tea and worm tea?
8. 1:15:45 - Is using a compost tea better than top-dressing compost?

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:

1. Indigenous Predatory Micro-Organisms (IPMO) - how Chris stumbled upon this preparation and how it is applied virtually anywhere in the world with amazing success.
2. How to make IPMO
3. Handling spider mites using natural farming inputs

Community Questions:

1. Can you make IPMO with dead pest carcasses and how to effectively collect pests from your grow area to use in an IPMO preparation
2. What are the best plants to use to detoxify soil and what should I do with that plant matter afterwards?
3. What inputs would you recommend for a small home grower to use in a city without resources to go full KNF or Jadam?
4. Has Chris Trump ever used predatory insects?
5. Can you keep taking IMO1 collections from IMO3 and still have the efficacy of IPMO?
6. 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?
7. 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?
8. Can you add insect frass to LABs to make a similar thing to IPMO?
9. Is there a specific type of rice that works best for IMO collection?
10. 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?

This week we are talking with Josh from @yellowskunkfarms who has dedicated the past year to building his aquaponic-inspired, regenerative garden ecosystem.

Josh opens up the book on his instagram for how he has made his permanent structure up until this point and we get the opportunity to pick his brain, add insight and vicariously become a part of this amazing project and homage to natures beauty.

By incorporating a stream, with flowing water and natural species of aquatic life, he will be able to provide nutrient dense water to his plants which will grow around the perimeter and in the center of his ecosystem.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of microscopic life as we take a close-up look at Neoseiulus californicus, a species of predatory mite, under the microscope.

These tiny warriors play a crucial role in pest control, especially in the fight against spider mites in agriculture and home gardens. Join us as we explore their anatomy, behavior, and the benefits they bring to integrated pest management.

We dig even deeper by exploring the different shape between a reproducing female a male Californicus and discuss the extremely subtle differences between the Californicus, Fallacis and Occidentalis mites.

Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a science lover, or curious about sustainable gardening practices, this episode offers a unique glimpse into the hidden wonders of the microscopic realm.
