About
Regeneration
there is a decent protocol to follow
Soil can be regenerated within one year
We then embark on a soil health protocol and regeneration is not needed any longer
Soil Health
Specific lab testing can be done easily understandable
On-farm physical testing is easy and farmers can do it
Biological testing is not all that hard but training is needed
A protocol for soil health needs to be followed.
Management activities NEED to change to reach soil health
Basically: NO management change = NO soil health
Cover Crops
A large database is available
seeding timing is important
species are important
the right mixes are important
Proper management of the cover crops is CRUCIAL
Composting
we have composting recipes and techniques
we teach how to set up a composting operation
correct monitoring and maintenance are essential
compost quality is key for agroforestry, pastures, gardens, etc.
Site Management
Chemicals
we need and can decrease the use of:
synthetic fertilizers
herbicides
pesticides
it is actually easier than you think! but our regeneration protocol must be followed
Mother Nature
We need to watch how Mother Nature does things
We need to Re-learn from Mother Nature
Biomimicry is a new term but is part of what we need to do. When we re-create nature we get out of trouble. We need to create our management techniques with nature in mind.
