In this Part 3 of our series, discover practical strategies for applying beneficial microbes to your land to boost soil fertility and protect crops.

Learn how they've successfully transitioned from traditional methods, significantly improving soil health and crop yields by leveraging compost extracts, vermicompost, and cover crops.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

The key differences and benefits of compost extract vs. compost tea (24:48)
Why microbial diversity is crucial for resilient soils (27:42)
Practical tips for making your own high-quality vermicompost and thermophilic compost (30:46)
The role of cover crops in building soil health and integrating biology (37:48)
How to optimize your farm operations for efficient microbe application, including seed treatment (46:27)
The economic returns and ROI of investing in a biological farming system (1:01:25)
Adam and Jake discuss their challenges, successes, and the evolution of their large-scale farming operations, proving that regenerative agriculture is not only possible but profitable.

This video is packed with insights for farmers, gardeners, and anyone passionate about sustainable agriculture, soil biology, and fostering healthy ecosystems.

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.

Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.
