Treating the Farm as an Ecosystem with Gabe Brown Part 1, The 5 Tenets of Soil Health

Looks like you spend more time talking then growing anything

People are finally beginning to become humble and realize that Mother Nature knows what she is doing much better than we do. Much better , in fact, that we will ever be able to do. Trust her and she will take care of you as well as the earth.

i've been watching lots of videos on regenerative agriculture, but what I fail to grasp is how I'm supposed to sow seeds into a terminated cover crop mix. how do I make the seeds touch the ground if there is a thick layer of "armor" on top of it?

Those who are used for row planting can instead seitch to a finite geometrical pattern for planting mixed crops .eg 3 crops= triangle, 4 crops= diamond,, 6 crops = hexagon.... and observe whether both harvesting and maintenance is easy without compromising upon quality but adding some aesthetic beauty into the land.

Clean land = Lush Green land new world economy mantra.. here we must emohasise the fact that Green = Sustainable Green.

So the least resistence path to the natural cycle with careful and calculated monitoring will definitely bring excellent quality healthy food.

Old world economy behaviour pattern was show your head towards your cities while show your bCk towards your villages.
Now new world economy demands just the opposite ie show your head towards your villages and show your back towards your cities.

ThankQ and Crush on...

Saw one no till farmer suggested ringing the pig's noses- stops them rooting and tilling your soil armour. Have you tried it? Curious to know. Seemed to be working for him.

I’m the two pictures of the first two shovels full of soil in the No till examples or low till samples, it’s the same picture zoomed in and angled a little differently. Same exact picture. That’s why they look the same. That said, everything else he is talking about is great. (Around 38 minutes in or so

Why are farmers always so fat

Should have learned from the dust bowl, but didn’t!!

Too bad industrial farmers don’t do this too!

Youre just a problem solver. Planting what helps sustainability.

Look for the parts 2 and 3 as well.

It's strange hearing a white guy talking about nature and not once has he mentioned it's spirit. 🤣

Thanks for helping me to understand that science is man imposing it's Will upon nature.

This is amazing, very important and complicated.

Absolutely excellent presentation! Thanks!

And this my friends is how you fix global warming, this will sequester 20 tonnes of carbon per hectare at a minimum!!

We are the Carbon they want to reduce because they know that higher CO2 levels leads to higher biomass. Same reason the medieval warming period led to the renaissance population boom and subsequent disruption of the balance of power in society from the established order...so too would the American people become independent from the "Monsantos" of the world. We become a power block with healthy soil leading to a lack of need for medical, food, and government support.

GABE BROWN IS A GIFTED COMMUNICATOR. ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD.

Fought 2 acres for years mowed plowed and weeds and stickers grew great. Neighbor put Barbados sheep on the two acres year later place looked like a fine lawn nature worked better than me.

Wow! Excellent presentation easy to understand complex material 👌

🥰🥰🥰

Thank you

Turf, Trees, and Wetlands are the skin of the above-sea-level body of our planet. Everything that has been disturbed is a wound that is just trying to heal. Everyone knows picking scabs prevents the wound from healing. So leave those scabs alone.

Hello! I truly believe, you can save a whole country ( Srilanka ). They suddenly banned synthetic fertilizer without learning basics what you narrate here. Pls guide them.

In 2017 I took a course in Prairie Horticulture from the University of Saskatchewan and this was one of the required videos.
I've watched this over again through the years and still recommend it to anyone getting started on their soil health journey.

what about controlled burn?

I’d love to see you in person if you ever get to Houston,Texas. We just bought a property in Hockley, Texas. I love the idea of having land and was thrilled when we got this property. The back yard/pasture gets run-off from all the other properties around us. So we have crevasses from the flow of the water. We also have hard compacted sandy soil. I’m trying to figure out how to absorb some of that run off so my soil will get healthier. I’m just not sure how to start if I can’t disturb the soil that’s so hard. I’ll keep doing more research. This was excellent. I knew this deep down. I knew I had to find something to grow to improve my soil… and seeing this video validated what I just knew was the right thing to do. Thank you.

Interesting

If u are having such a hard time farming with hail storms y, r you carrying so much weight.

❤️‍🔥

Do you have any contact information for Gabe? Also looking for contact for questions for regenerative ag and cropping for Alabama area.

so how do u control root maggots in the garden ,in cabbage,

No inputs? Where does the P & K come from?

This is literally one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in years.

Ground Breaking Information. This man should be a “celebrity”. It’s sad when you realize how backwards and harmful humans are as a whole. This has to be huge part of our future or most humans are going to die off. Go back to rural living people. Remote work makes it possible. Start learning how to live in balance with nature. Most of the city dwellers will perish or live in hell on earth in the future.

💚

Great presentation! And, lots of comon sense

🇧🇷 awsome!!!!!!

Great video so far. I was surprised about the foam on water after soaking soil. That’s nitrogen?? I tried to find other sources that corroborated this face but could not. Can you post your source please?
