Comrades In Farms - A Regenerative Agriculture Podcast

In this episode we covered rain making bacteria if the first part. Then  we moved on to bio-remediation of pesticides and chemicals in soils.  Later we discussed cover cropping systems and tactics and methods for  cover crops as well as a few different varieties. We discussed Buckwheat  as a cover crop as well as a honey crop and green manure crop. We  talked about Rye and it’s ability to build soil tilth and structure, and  we discussed Austrian Winter Pea as a Nitrogen fixing legume and winter  cover crop for fairly cold climates. Finally we discussed some of the  finer details of seed quality especially as it relates to trace mineral  nutrition and seed vigor as well as yield.

Tonight we went into some pretty deep details on foliar feeding plants.  We covered what foliar feeding is as well as how, when, why, and what  effects we get when we use foliar feeds. We also discussed some other  tools in the regenerative agricultural toolbox for working with plants  and soils. We also covered the Plant Health Pyramid briefly and talked  about some of the finer details of plant health as well as the different  pests and disease problems we can address through achieving the any one  of the 4 main levels of plant health.

This episode we covered regenerative agriculture  practices regarding cover cropping and distribution of food systems.  Tied in to that discussion we talked a little bit about water quality as  it relates to foliar feeds and their efficacy as well as irrigation  and even how water quality can GREATLY reduce the amount of pesticides  and herbicides required to achieve the same goal even in conventional  chemical agriculture systems. We also talked about bees and their life  cycle a bit as it pertains to fall nest building and sustaining through  the winter. In the scope of the bee discussion we talked about how YOU  can help the bees in your own way without having to have a bee colony or  understand them on a more intimate level. Finally, we talked about my  greenhouse here in Tivoli, NY and it’s evolution from when I first built  it as a thermal mass in-ground furnace heated system to it’s current  rendition today where I used a wood stove and water tanks as well as a  Raspberry Pi (small single-board inexpensive computer) to monitor and  control all the functions required to manage the greenhouse environment.

In this episode I talked about honey bees and their life cycle as well as some of the dangers of glyphosphate and many other inputs in the current agricultural model. I also touched on some of the ways to avoid using these chemicals and toxic compounds to improve soil health, plant health and consequently human health.

Tonight's guests: Jim and Jessica from The Green Dream Project You-Tube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_7n21RGpsAo9i2N7hN_uAA  Their Website: http://greendreamproject.org/ 

Jim and Jessica are building a Homestead in the Arizona desert. They are masters of working with local materials, adobe, rain water catchment, and so many other awesome things!  You won't be disappointed listening to this one!

On this week’s show we covered a bit about  complex living systems, biology, ecology, and many other regenerative  agricultural techniques and concepts. We also talked a little bit about  amateur radio. Later in the show we went into Critical Points Of  Influence and some other key concepts related to Regenerative  Agriculture.

This was the first ever Truth Frequency Radio  Comrades In Farms show. I talk a little bit about my background and how I  got into regenerative agriculture as well as my honey bees, greenhouse,  mushrooms and fungi, foliar feeds, amateur radio and more. Join me on  my journey to healing our soils and building a better future through  regenerative agriculture!
