Rick Thanks. That’s not surprising given the soils, rainfall, and fertilizer input. We can demonstrate that easily in Eastern Oregon wheat fields where there isn’t enough water to support a cover crop

Regenerative agriculture / farming and restoration forest management are about systems approaches based on systems thinking. Removal / harvest goes together with replacement via multispecies cover man

Tom, I ran into this article (attached) a few days ago assessing the impact of removing removing crop straw residues from corn and wheat fields. Removing residues reduced yields. The impact with corn

As we receive news and videos from Warm Heart International’s projects in Malawi, Kenya, and Ghana it is gratifying to see smallholders benefitting from biochar they can make themselves. Warm Heart is

Yes Kelpie, it works. As it also works in the Cow shed manure tanks for example, according to Christoph Fischer of EM Chiemgau in Bavaria/ Germany and the many farmers. The stench is gone. In my case

Dear M, No, I don't grow Okra in my garden. However, I believe urine fertilizer can work well on okra too. We have applied to tomatoes and green peas before. For long term storage, you don't need to a

Dear chatter, I am not sure whether or not I already responded to the article. To apply urine fertilizer to corn for best results, apply compost or Biochar as basal dressing to a planting station. Aft

Hi Michael, Thanks for all of your ideas. Are these good instructions: With what crops have you used this method successfully. Thank you, Kevin Kevin McLean, President Sun24 https://sun24.solar Sun24

Sounds good - provided you have enough char. Where you don't have enough to surface dress, we suggest that you dig hole, drop in a handful of char mix (ideally including a fair amount of manure or com

Here is a caveat: If fresh biochar is added to soil, the first thing it will do is to adsorb moisture and nutrients from the bulk soil onto the pore surfaces. In the absence of microbiota having colon

Hi, this is a little part of an article I wrote a few months ago, I think it adds a few point of interest to the discussion. the reason we went for a larger container - 200L drum, is that otherwise th
