MICROBES: The Future of Regenerative Soil, Health, & Agriculture with Matt Powers

All right, microbes, the future of regenerative soil,

food, and agriculture.

This is exciting.

This is the future.

Because when we look at the future,

we want it to be regenerative.

And we're really at a crux.

There are some terrifying things happening right now

in our world.

And things are ramping up in degeneracy.

One of those things is soil.

We're losing soil faster.

And then soil scientists estimate that 57.6 billion tons

of topsoil have been lost in the US in the last 160 years.

1.9 millimeter per year, 0.07 inch per year,

erosion rate that is equal to about 11 tons per acre per year.

These deserts are growing 75% of the earth's land

is already degraded.

Do you realize how much good we can do?

75%?

In permaculture and regenerative soil,

we've got the solutions.

And there are natural processes and these proven methods,

both in the scientific community and in the commercial,

as well as the homestead, gardening.

We've got the full range of expression and replication.

So we have, we have, we've got your life's mission right here.

Like I know that I can just, this is the hill to die on.

This is the, this is the linchment of all life, the soil,

to all civilization, to all business, to all farming,

to all health.

And you know, 90% could be degraded by 2050?

No, it's not going to happen.

It's never going to get that, it's never going to get to that.

Because now is the time that we start with the regeneration.

Now is the time that we reverse things.

And there's a price to all this loss, all this soil loss.

You know, it's, it is the backbone of the economy.

So thus it's, it's the backbone of so much

that we have in our society.

And this is a prediction by 2070.

Okay, there is a price to pay, but we're not going to pay that.

No, we're going to reverse this.

The fields are overtilled.

So when those rains come, you're losing the soil.

There's a rising salinity as you lose soil organic matter

as you provide water that is higher sodium rates.

And it's happening everywhere.

It's very significant.

It's almost a million hectares.

And then most fields are sprayed with harmful chemicals.

So we've all seen these pictures.

We all know about this, right?

Herbicides in the rainfall.

That's 1999 to 2000.

I was a child.

It was just herbicides were detected in the rainfall.

Most sample dates at every location.

Agent Orange was a mixture of chemicals containing nearly equal

amounts of two active ingredients.

Oh, did you notice that 2.4D?

Yes.

It's one of the ingredients.

But that's all, this is all old news.

This is what people are talking about when they're like,

it's an Agent Orange, right?

We're talking about 2.4D, not going to say.

But these, this is really old news.

This 35, 36 year old news.

So herbicides have been systemic since I was a small child.

After Zene, remember that one?

What does that do to the frogs?

Yeah.

It alters mammary gland development and causes them

to be susceptible to tumor.

So cancer and it disrupts the endocrine system.

Yeah.

And there's all this spraying.

And Europe made certain thing like after Zene,

legal like forever ago, and then like we just didn't do it.

Everything is getting poisoned.

And it's rather simple.

Soils are made of fungi, so fungicides.

Soils are made of biology, so biocides.

We have insecticides, but we have positive insects.

We have insects that are biocontrol, like pest control.

We have, you know, like herbicides.

It's like you actually, there are people who are growing

and letting what naturally grows there grow as a cover crop

in between things as a bumper and then crimping that

and having great results.

So it's like this whole idea that like the plants are bad.

Ah, like there are people showing that like,

you just need to be appropriate with your technology.

And even standard fertilizers like nitrogen

and that that kills.

Okay, so nitrogen was at one point advertised

as cleaning the soil for the next season

or removing the fine root hairs in the root

and it's fine roots.

That is what microzole fungicides uses

to travel season to season.

And then sulfur is used as a fungicide phosphate

that prevents the relationship

with a buscule microzole fungicide.

So inhibition, blocking, killing, destroying habitat.

This is all part of it.

I mean, tillage does very similar things as well.

And all of it equals dead dirt.

Soils are often left bare on top of that

and you have the fenton reaction.

So bare soils oxidizing and then, you know,

reduces photosynthesis synthesis.

And you have lower soil organic matter

because of the fenton reaction

and you gas off your carbon and your nitrogen

and your EHN pH go up.

This all kills essential life.

And it all degrades the soil

because the soil is in part the glues, the glomoline,

the physical structure of decaying matter,

the physical structure of high-fay, all of it.

So what does that like look like?

Well, if you're using a microscope

and you're looking at it and you just see minerals,

you just see that this is really, really tight, compacted soil.

So it's just, you just see lots of minerals

and there's bacteria and there are no doubt

but very little organic matter.

And this is an area that kept getting over sprayed

from a neighbor, Grazon,

and so certain things wouldn't grow.

You can see the simplification

and we'll compare it to something really, really nice later

but look how tight it is.

Look how colorless it is.

Look how boring it is.

So when it rains, especially because there's no glue,

when it rains and these fields are planted

up to the edges of the riparian areas,

all that stuff just flows right out

and you can ruin a waterway with just soil.

It doesn't, I mean, the nitrogen fertilized

in the phosphate fertilizer just add insult to injury

but you literally can just lose soil

and suffocate the rivers and streams as well.

So this is just a huge waste of money,

time and resources on top of it being just awful

to the environment and to your health

and to everyone else's health as well.

And then there's the huge fertilizer shortage

and the war that's going to increase fertilizer

and gas prices incredibly.

So these prices have been already rising.

They're going to rise more in a very significant way.

And then at the same time you've got land that's changing

hands, you've got black rock and you've got bill gates,

you've got all these investors, foreign investors,

especially in the west coast.

You've got all this predatory behavior

around farmland data centers, all this stuff.

They literally can be doing these data centers

other places.

There's a lot of land, there's a lot of places

you can just set up giant solar farms.

I believe they're being used to add for serially.

So land is changing hands and it's really sad,

but even as we're helping farmers figure out

how to save money, they have to save

significant amounts of money to pivot sometimes

because they're so far in debt.

Like reality is hitting financially for a lot of these folks.

And they're like, I either figure this out now

or there's no figuring it out.

So farmers are selling their farms to make ends meet.

Farmers are working a second job to keep the farm.

There it is all happening right now.

And government policies are favoring foreign farmers

and poison manufacturers, right?

This is what's literally happening.

You know, and there's more and more regulations

of red tape for American farmers.

And that's my perspective on America,

but it's happening in other nations.

It's no accident that in Europe,

you have one nation making the eggs and milk

for another nation and they don't eat their own eggs

and milk.

What?

And so it's designed to create,

it's manufactured vulnerability.

You know, it's like World War One and World War Two

had all these like tenuous alignments and treaties

and all this stuff.

If you do that with supply chains too,

you get what happened in COVID, right?

You get collapses of entire industries.

And I don't think it's by accident.

I think they've created a system that,

you know, it was incentivized to outsource everything.

And now we've got a terrible situation

where we need to bring everything back

because it's contaminated, so it's done poorly.

And because there's no resilience, no stability,

no independence down this path.

And because of all of us and more,

the conventional ag business model is failing.

It's failing.

And almost everywhere, and I say almost everywhere

because there are good farmers everywhere

too doing the right thing all over the world

in different circumstances and half throughout history.

But there's also large trends.

And those large trends tend to dictate everything.

And that's why we want regenerative ag

to be adopted because the large trend of degenerative ag

is destroying the soil, destroying the food supply

and the landscape and the watershed.

And then culturally, like Peru was doing it right, right?

Like they're doing no-till, agriculture,

the Aboriginal people of Australia,

they were doing certain things that were like no-till.

And so we've done things in the past that have been regenerative.

But now we have the tools to make it scalable

and fast and powerful.

But we have a history.

And this is the thing, people are like,

the past 100 years, blah, blah, blah.

And you, your car, and all this stuff.

The reality is, you truck vacation and desertification

have been happening all over the world

with subsistence farming without mechanical or gas powered

anything over the world for thousands of years.

So this desertification is not just the green revolution,

it's not just farm implementation

that's gone mechanical industrial revolution.

Remember the fertile crescent?

They didn't have chemical fertilizer,

they didn't have machines, right?

This is a birthplace of agriculture and they destroyed it, right?

So this is not a new problem, they over irrigated, right?

They all used up their water and we have to be sensitive

to water for the microbes.

We gotta be sensitive to the water for our soil health

because if it goes too far, it's very difficult to bring back.

But now they say 55 to 60 harvest of top soil are left.

That's an estimate, that's an average.

There's actually a great range.

But if you look at the Midwest, this number that I said,

the beginning that they're talking about,

the summer's variable between different researchers,

but they're talking billions of metric tons

and they can physically see it.

Okay, so there are people who are doing things to their soil,

people who are not, people are tilling,

people who are not throughout all time.

Example here, there's someone doing it one way on one side,

one way on the other and we can see the difference,

we can see the soil loss.

So we can't keep trying the same behaviors

and expect different outcomes,

especially when we have living examples of people

who have been doing it right the whole time.

Right, like we have to just clearly communicate this.

That's all that's going on.

Like the farmers aren't getting this information

in a way that they can pivot and it can.

And so it's up to us.

Like the way I see things as a teacher

is if my student isn't getting it,

it's not, and they're sincere.

I'm not going to like shame them or something like crazy.

Like no, I'm going to try to do a better job as a teacher.

And so I've been doubling down and focusing on soil,

soil microscopy, on gardeners, homesteaders,

farmers all over the world.

And it's the clear communication between farmers

and the soil that I'm fostering.

But you're going to say, but how?

Well, it comes down to the right test

because the right questions are the keys

and tests raise questions.

And if we're asking the right questions,

we'll open the right doors and make the right decisions.

Wait, who am I?

Well, I'm Matt Powers.

I was a musician.

I met my wife while I was a musician

and she got cancer and changed everything.

But we were able to search a transition

and change our lives, my wife's been cancer-free

for about 10 years.

But she's had cancer over seven times.

And so it was a process.

Like for several years, I was really angry at the doctors.

And I was like, and I would go to doctors,

things with her and be like,

are you trying to kill my wife?

Like the energy I put off was like,

you're trying to kill my wife.

And right, right.

And so I brought a little bit of a heavy like vibe.

And I really had to do work all myself

to be able to come there and just serve the moment

and not jump to conclusions or get frustrated.

Or, you know, and because that's not what my wife needed.

She needed me to be enthusiastic and supportive.

And then in those moments, that moment,

then you ask, Matt, that's the,

so one of the, if you were at unstoppable enthusiasm,

you know there was a moment where I jumped in

and with the doctor was like, could I do this protocol?

And they were like, that's a really good idea.

Maybe try it.

My wife was like, fine.

And then it shrank a growth in her job

from the size of a job breaker to a P.

And they didn't biopsy it.

Because he's the thought he would miss it.

So, so I, it's been a real journey.

And I know I'm like compartmentalizing everything

and doing it really quick.

But many of you have heard it.

So I don't want to like tell the same stories over and over again.

I learned a lot and I have crones myself.

And so my wife and I are kind of a match set, you know,

I mean, we're both a little bit of a canary

in the coal mine for the community.

And so I became Mr. Powers to get healthcare

so that we could do all those annual thyroid tests

and stand up over T3 and D4, right, you know.

And we raised our boys in the guard

and trying to grow the best food possible.

I started writing curriculum for my public school work.

I was a high school teacher and there was no books.

There was no curriculum, I had to write it all.

And then I decided I could do curriculum just in general.

And so I did curriculum for permaculture and exploded.

And then I kept doing it, didn't stop.

And, you know, over 20 books later, here we are.

I'm a best-selling author, an educator, an entrepreneur,

a soil expert, a seed farmer and family guy.

And, you know, it's thanks to you all

that I'm a best-selling author.

You all spread the word about my books.

Thank you so, so much.

I appreciate you so, so deeply.

And it's just an honor to be able to serve the community

at this level.

And in this process, you guys have turned me

into a citizen scientist and in that process,

my mentors have become people who recommend my work

and use my work.

You know, people who have inspired and entire movements

are now using my work.

And folks that, you know, for many folks

are like the pinnacle, the highest level

of the soil science, I was able to go further

and then support their work at the same time.

And so it was like this blue ocean strategy moment

that tied the community together,

uplifted everything, took us to a cutting-edge place.

And that's really what it's about.

It's about creating that bridge to a regenerative future

where we can help each other,

we can help the world and make a living at the same time.

So the right questions, all right?

That's what we were talking about, the right questions.

So how is regenerative better, right?

Like this is the thing, you know,

someone asked me the other day, you know,

like it used to be organic versus conventional

and I go organic loss because they made the mistake

of thinking they could replace herbicide with killage.

And they just destroyed their soils.

And so the no-till movement, you know,

initially started, most of them were starting

with a lot of spray and glyphosate.

And because they were able to get their soil organic

matter levels up and make their soil look really good,

even despite the toxins and the poison that,

man oh man, it totally prevented people from switching.

So it's really important to recognize

that this is not organic, right?

We're talking about something that's better than organic,

something beyond organic is what people like to say, right?

Well, regenerative, the word means, you know,

it's biblical, it means to be born again,

it means to come back, it's the perennials growing back

and spring, it's what Easter is in spring.

This is the return of like,

micro-risal fungi every year, it's regenerative, right?

So that's where that term comes from,

but in pragmatic terms that we can verify and showcase,

it's higher nutrient density,

it's higher soil organic matter levels.

And also finer and more long lasting and beneficial

soil organic matter forms, replacement,

it's the replacement of conventional MDK.

It's, you know, natural Ipmo.

So insect pest management organisms,

so using organisms that are naturally occurring in your area

rather than buying, you know what I mean?

Things that are GMO and all those kinds of things

like we don't need that, okay?

You could be using naturally occurring Ipmo,

but also you can be getting things like Bavaria Basiana

and then allowing it to become native to your area.

And then gripping and herbicides instead of herbicides,

lower input costs, less water used,

biological returns each year, so it's regenerative.

You end up with the microbes returning,

you end up with the beneficial aspects returning.

And what is that equal?

Well, there's less friction.

So you have faster growing more productive disease resistant

and pest resistant plants that are better for you

than conventional ag improbably so.

So this implies a lot of things, right?

This whole thing implies that you have mineral coherence,

biological coherence, right?

Biological completeness, you know?

So it implies a bunch of those things,

but this is what we can showcase.

This is what we can prove.

This is what we can do that is different

and replaces all those things.

Plus, we have no choice.

You know, it's sink or swim right now.

It's go bankrupt or go regenerative this year.

You know, for a lot of farmers.

For most farmers, they're feelings like the pinch

like they've never felt it before.

For a lot of farmers, this is perhaps a year

that could kill the farm.

So farmers need a cheaper way to do business.

Number one, like that's what all this boils down to.

The real pressure they're feeling right now

is they need a cheaper way to do business.

And then they need a substitute for herbicide.

They need to pathway away from MPK.

They need those protocols.

They need hyaluronic matter to hold more water,

to hold more nutrients.

And they need things to be in a better pH range.

They need structuring.

They need to avoid oxidation, avoid deep acidification,

avoid water logging, but also hold enough water.

It's about that goal deluxe range, mineral coherence,

biological completeness and coherence,

a practice of monitoring and tracking their results.

So much of what I'm talking about and like bringing to the table

is a practice for monitoring and tracking results.

Because that has to be part of everything we do moving forward.

Because the world is not just like toxic.

It's sneakily toxic, right?

And so many of these things that we're trying to help people with,

there's these inhibitions, they're like,

oh, well, you obviously have a glyphosate residue.

Oh, you obviously have something coming in that's an antifungal.

And they're like, yeah, the water stinks like sulfur.

And right, you know what I mean?

We have to be monitoring all the things, not just soil,

not just compost.

So what can we do?

Let's remove those glyphosate residues.

OK, sauerkraut juice, electropicillus plantarum.

Am I blocking?

Here, see you go, there you go, as you can see it.

Electropicillus plantarum raw sauerkraut juice

is what the source for that.

That's what Dr. Don Huber is using.

It removes glyphosate by 80% and 90% within 67 months.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Yes, enhancing both the yield and quality of corn grain

is silage at the same time.

Yes, the problem is the solution.

Literally, like so many of these solutions,

they're like, oh, and the added benefit

is the food is better for you.

Go figure, right?

We get rewarded.

We get rewarded for doing the right thing.

Isn't it beautiful?

Isn't regenerative beautiful?

And then, oh, look, the number one ingredient pro EM1.

You know, the thing that I recommend over EM1,

you know what I mean?

I recommend starting off pro.

There's a reason.

High performance weed control, firehawkbuyerbicide.com.

Fast acting, non-selective contact, bioerbicide that

works in everything from home gardens and parks

to regenerative horticulture.

It removes the waxy layer on plants.

We have the solution.

We have it.

It's here.

And there's also the lasers.

Get the lasers.

You know, you can be like Dr. Evil with your lasers.

But, but I just have that song starting my head.

It improves the soil and the soil life.

It's Quincy Jones, you know.

That's Quincy Jones, that song.

The Austin Powers, like opening song.

That's legit.

He wrote that song in 20 minutes.

Anyway, tangent over.

I love Quincy.

I'm an old jazz guy.

Anyway, so the Patriot, this is a crimper.

There's so many companies.

There's crimpers in front.

There's crimpers in back.

There's crimpers in front.

So you can have the cedar in back and all that.

They have fun things and strip tillage and all that.

Right?

I'm not advertising Patriot over anyone else.

I just grabbed this.

They're probably great.

I haven't used this one, but there are crimpers.

Talk to people who crimp.

These things can last over 20 years.

You're not buying herbicides every year.

You're improving your soil in a profound way.

Look at this.

This is strip tillage.

Can you see how dark the soil is?

And like, you can feel that.

Like that's like, right?

Like look at that.

That's what I'm talking about.

We're going to build, and you know it's true.

Like when you create this blanket thatch over your soil,

and you begin to just protect the soil over winter,

and then plant in strips like this,

and then have that weed barrier.

It's superb.

And then the amount of organic matter

you're just going to start building and compounding,

and then building and compounding.

Oh, man.

Couldn't be unbelievable.

But if you're like, listen, man,

I've been doing conventional ag for 25, 50 years.

I know guys who have tried to switch in your,

your Arbusica Microwave of Funded, don't work.

No, it doesn't work, man.

We tried it.

It's been a fortune.

Yeah, because you had old phosphous still in the soil

sticking to your organic matter,

desiccating it, preventing life from living in it.

I know.

I've looked at this.

So what do you do, right?

That's the question.

What do you do?

You've got desiccated organic matter.

You've got, you know, little lumps.

They have these really short stubby phosphate crystals on them.

That's one of the tells.

And they're shrunken, and the bacteria around them

is like uninterested because there's nothing there

because they can't access it.

So we need solubleizing bacteria.

Specifically, we need phosphorus, phosphate solubleizers.

And we have them.

Here's fungi.

Here's bacteria.

Here's mobilizers, right?

You need both.

And do you notice how the mobilizers are the microrezae?

So see, start in the bacteria, break that up.

Get that going.

Then you hit it with a barb and boscale microrezae fungi.

You get it.

So this is super prepped for AMF.

You got to prepare that soil.

You got to clean that soil up.

And I mean, here, let me show you guys can take a screenshot.

I mean, look at it.

Basilis Megatarium, basilis subtilis.

You guys know the recipe for that.

I hope the protozoan infusion in my book.

That's going to be a basilis.

You know, basilis subtilis, the hay, basilis.

That's going to be what you promote with that.

Rizobium?

Ah.

Right.

So doing a crop that partners with rhizobium,

a nitrogen fixing one.

See, do you see where we're covering multiple bases here?

Yeah.

Okay, all right.

So I hope that you're starting to see some of the incredible things

that are possible.

And yes, basilis subtilis, you know, in a large amount.

Hey, basilis, it's a fungicide.

No, I know.

So this is why we monitor, right?

So that you don't destroy the fungi that are there

by taking care of one problem creating another.

This is all superb.

It's very easy.

I just like listed a bunch of easy things.

And you might notice that these things are also

in a lot of consortiums that you buy, like recharge and such.

So I keep saying AMF, what am I saying?

Matt.

Arbiscular micro-risal fungi.

And it's specifically part of the end

of micro-risal fungi family.

Arbiscular micro-risal fungi, that's what we're focused on,

an ag.

That's what we're focused on with over 90% of plants.

Partners, yeah, there we go.

And creases root, surface area, 10 to 1,000 times.

Which means bigger roots.

That's what it means.

You just see it, right?

Bigger roots, equal bigger fruits.

And then they provide a third of global carbon sequestration,

which is darker soil, right?

Carbon's block.

So my biochar is jet block under the microscope.

Now, let's put on our thinking gaps together

and look at this.

So this is retain law.

If you like retain law, you know he's good quality.

He's a good guy.

He does a lot of good work.

And the net primary productivity of field corn

is 400 times more than the annual increase

in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide.

Hmm.

400 times the amount of increase of carbon dioxide.

Do you guys see we have the solution right here?

But what are we doing?

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, we're oxidizing it and releasing the carbon.

Right.

And then all the peasants do too.

Yeah.

So phosphorus is the number one nutrient

shared with plant roots by our bus school

in my grizzle fun time.

So get your get your prop fuels going.

It also improves processing of nitrogen.

So I always say, you know, it's so funny

because I don't I'm so deep into this world

that like I'll use reduction.

I'll use reduce.

And people think I say reduce is nitrogen.

They're like it lessens the nitrogen.

So you have less.

That's not good.

No reduction means it adds energy to the nitrogen.

So you get different forms of nitrogen, right?

Oxidation, opposite of reduction

means that you gain in oxygen.

So more oxidized form than ammonium would be nitrate

and it's N-O-3.

These silos of information are often, you know,

controlled by language invocabulary anyway.

I always try to break these barriers down

and explain these things so people have that understanding.

So 30% to 40% more yield with our bus school

of micro-ISIL fungi.

You can buy these.

They're well established.

They extend the root service.

They improve nutrient absorption.

They strengthen the plants.

They sequester carbon.

They create soil structure.

They build soils.

They're literally growth promoting.

They're mobilizers and sonobilizers.

They're iron calators.

They're immune supporting.

They're great for drought conditions.

For bio-control, for fight of stabilization

and you can grow it yourself.

Like really, really, you can just do this.

Just have some of you can win or kill that is micro-ISIL

and then verify it's on your roots.

Don't just guess.

That's terrible practice and totally unscientific.

So now that we have the tool, right, just look, you know,

and verify that it's on the roots

so that you're not like moving forward next season

and be like, well, it's all inoculate now.

And then it's not.

But you thought you should have glowing roots with high pay.

Potting medium becomes inoculate.

These are fast paced, you know, three to two weeks

that's their life cycle.

You can, you know, group them.

You can do multiple of our school of micro-ISIL fungi

together.

You can make a mix easily that's just for you.

You can scale up indigenous microorganisms.

In other words, you can like go out and get plant roots

and then like cut them up into little pieces

and then put them on your seeds

and then put your seeds in the ground and have them connect.

And then you can also combine purchase

and then you can adapt the purchased

our bicycle micro-ISIL fungi to your bioregion

and you have it become regenerative.

And just like heirloom seeds, we want these things

to become adapted to our bioregion.

And they do.

All the dominant micro-ISIL fungi that you can buy

is actually circulated the globe so many times.

It's millions and millions of times.

It circulated the globe on its own.

And the reason they're dominant all over the world

is because they've adapted to every bioregion.

But each one in each bioregion is unique

because it adapters that bioregion.

Just like your seeds adapt your heirloom seeds.

You do open pollinated heirloom seeds sometimes

they just suck the first year.

And you're like, ah, I thought these were good.

You saved the seeds.

And the next year they glow really pretty good.

The next third year, fourth year, they're unbelievable.

And sometimes you grow that first year of heirlooms

and that's great.

You grow it again from save seeds and it's unbelievable.

Those are the keepers.

But I understand if you're growing after color

or something fun, you know,

more nursing it through the process,

I've done it many times myself.

And so this is recharge.

Look, we've got a whole list of things that you're like,

ooh, the pummelous, the subtlest, the megatarium.

That was on your list, Matt.

Oh, and then look into our radices,

Maasia, agregatum, yes, yes, yes.

And you just dust it on your seed

or your transplant roots is a bear root tree.

And then the next thing I would say is they need to add endofites.

If you add endofites, the microbes that live

and grow beneficially inside of plants

in the early stage of the plant,

the photosynthetic sugars from the plant,

feed those microbes and promote them.

So they grow as a plant grows

and then they protect the plant and fill the plant.

So like this is like a no brainer,

like using endofites at the early part of the season

on your seeds and then on your seedlings

is going to change your results.

They are bio fertilizers.

So they reduce and replace nitrogen fertilizer.

That's what the term diazotroph means.

They provide nitrogen, they fix nitrogen.

So most people don't know that,

but that's the key word to use

to get through the scientific journals

and find these things.

Bio fertilizer, diazotroph,

these specific names,

and sometimes not even the first name.

So bacillus megaeterium, no, search B dot megaeterium, okay?

Yeah, yeah.

So we can replace these things.

You can do the research.

You can find out that 50 up to 50 to 80%

of the nitrogen for the plant can be provided by microbes.

These new protocols are just emerging as well.

I mean, I literally came up with a new protocol this week

and it combines natural farming

with all the kinds of things I do with DIY bio fertilizers

into a new way to compost and revive old compost.

So it's in a voles rice and all these different things.

So I'm really excited.

I'm about to start the protocol myself,

but there are protocols that are proven

that are out right now.

The protocol just came up with my head

with this week.

It's combination of proven protocols

and the new iteration and process.

But they're combining urea and EM1

and it's reducing nitrogen inputs by 50%.

Because what do we just learn?

Buh-buh-buh!

Yeah, of course they can reduce it by 50%.

Right?

Of course.

So let's listen to this.

How to farm eastern Arizona alluvial soils, right?

That's basically old river soil bits.

When the guy cut his field to prepare planting of jalapenos,

you could see a salt ridge go all the way

diagonally across the field.

It's literally a white salt ridge, right?

And plant suffered.

I'm saying to the guy, okay, we're gonna take this.

We're gonna add activated EM.

That's pretty much the way you're gonna use it all the time.

So add the activated EM in with your fertilizer

and what you do is he's got an irrigation system

so you inject fertilizer in one tank

and you inject the EM in another tank

right in with the irrigation water.

We had him apply one pound per acre of mycorrhiza

to add in the mycorrhiza.

He used hemic acid.

He noticed within his first year,

we started, I didn't mention this,

the organic matter was 0.2%.

Okay, it's desert soil, right?

It went to 0.75 within two applications of the EM.

The soil started to get softer.

How many weeks?

Once he's in two months?

Whoa.

Yeah.

We saw the organic matter start to go up.

His salt, you can go in that field,

you won't see salt anymore.

That salt ridge is gone.

And his moisture content has,

I mean, his moisture retention has increased

in a desert soil where he's cut his irrigation by 30%.

Eliminated his salt problems.

He's increased his organic matter.

We put on mycorrhiza at once, right?

And so this big solution to fungi is,

oh, let's put on mycorrhiza.

Okay, I can feed the mycorrhiza.

Do you know that they feed on myctic acid?

So when you put an EM,

you're literally completing the food chain.

Well, right, let's complete that food chain.

And this is why doing these selected microbes

has all these benefits to it, right?

They're just selected end of fights.

You know, it's a trademark name,

but these microbes aren't trademarked.

They're, and we'll get into them in a second,

but they complete photosynthesis.

They complete nitrogen synthesis.

They're internal nitrogen fixation

and then an immunological trigger.

So yeast, it's gonna feed on those simple sugars

and return things to CO2.

Up to 45% of the CO2 used in photosynthesis

comes from internally, crazy, right?

So yeast, and you look at it and you're like,

holy cow, that's a lot of yeast isolates, right?

And so these things are hypercommon,

proven on some of the bacteria.

It's actually rotosinomonas polesters

everyone's talking about.

It's one of the most abundant end of fights in the world, okay?

Lactic acid bacteria, lactobacillus species.

They're part of the whole life cycle of wheat.

Can you make your own brew?

Absolutely, you can, okay?

I've got a video DIY biofertilizer extension recipe,

variations that's on my YouTube DIY biofertilizer

with EM out of the microscope that is on YouTube as well.

So you have to see me make it

and then you get to see me look at it.

And it's great actually to compare that

to the watermelon EM that's not activated yet

and you get to see, and actually,

the water key for I was looking at earlier today

that I'm gonna showcase later on this week,

you can see the difference between something,

especially with lab that hasn't,

that's been fully fermented like it hasn't had air.

But when it's had air, they're shorter rods.

But anyway, those are on YouTube.

Watch those if you haven't watched those, watch those.

But you may ask yourself or ask me right now,

our farmers really growing them without MVK,

that seems preposterous.

The lasenskies are.

They certainly are guardian grains, no fertilizer.

It's a smart and pragmatic approach

and it's effective and profitable.

So they created a wilderness strip using the NRCS grant

then they did ponds and wild soil

and they combined five buckets, five gallon buckets

of pond water, five buckets of living soil.

They combined that onto their seed and apply that seed

and that's it.

And they're students of mine.

And then Rick Clark, you'd say I'm a student of his.

Rick's amazing, he's also a friend.

We'll be doing an event in early May together here

in Texas with John Kemp, with John Rick and I.

So he's got a nine crop system

and then it's on over 6,000 acres,

no starter fertilizer in 12 years,

no fund aside in 12 years, no seed treatment in 12 years,

no insect aside in 12 years, no PRK in 12 years,

no ag lime applied in 12 years,

no nitrogen applied in seven years.

Yeah, yeah.

This is a living example of all the things

I've been talking about and he's been doing it for a while.

And not only that, all those crimping that you see,

he actually ran the numbers and figured out

that the forage was increasing in nitrogen in days

by that much.

Like literally, like they are seeing,

here's a better one.

Do you see the difference?

So between June 4th and 8th,

the amount of nitrogen per pound per acre jumped

over double.

And so when they're crimping this and letting it slowly

go back into the soil, yeah, some of it's gassing off,

but most of it's going back into the soil,

saving you so much money.

So Rick's gonna dedicate 20 acres of that farm

to the arsehole database.

So the mineral approach, well, I talked about,

we need all these things, so I gotta include this, right?

Right, and so the highest levels of health

are associated with biology, but the lower two,

first and second are associated with minerals.

And so these minerals are directly associated

with resistance to specific pathogens.

And so these sugars, we wanna turn simple sugars

to polysaccharides, monosaccharides to polysaccharides.

When you have too many monosaccharides,

it brings in insects that feed upon that

because the plants start leaking.

Now they call in the bad guys, right?

This is where it all comes from.

It's a lack of minerals.

And the same thing with insects that are coming in,

protein synthesis, if they're not doing it,

they have excess nitrates.

They leak, they bring in very specific,

very specific pests.

And again, it is simply mineral-based.

But of course, there's a process within them,

yeast helps with this.

Lactic acid bacteria turns nitrates into amino acids.

So these processes are aided by those microbes in EM.

And then the lipid stage, who makes lipids,

mycorrhizal fungi, gotta have that in there.

And then the four stage increased plant secondary metabolites.

This is where your smell, your taste, your flavors

are expressing at a higher level.

You can trace those things, you can track those things.

You can also just sense those things.

But how much the rate, all those kinds of things

we can track as well.

So just to make it easy for you, that's something

to screenshot, you want to have these things

at sufficient levels in your plants.

You want to be able to look at your plants

at analysis and verify these things

so that you can continue with your journey

and not be stuck, because this will all hold you back.

So we need that right biology to do the rest.

We need to encourage rhizophagy.

We need to encourage endophytes

so that we can have that nitrogen.

And we need to have our busculomychrhizal fungi.

So how to start being regenerative, right?

People are like, where do we start?

What's the first step?

Start with the least change or maximum effect.

And I think it's getting rid of half of your nitrogen,

getting rid of the phosphate build up in your soil

and then verifying everything

and then finding the coherence booth.

You really need to understand these things first, really.

Because otherwise, even if you do them,

you won't really value them in the same way.

But you may be like, Matt, I am a gardener, okay?

You brought me here, talk to me about farmers.

I don't care as much.

I care about the farmers, but I don't care as much

as I want the gardener perspective.

Please just bring this all down to the gardeners, right?

Totally, I'm with you, I get it.

You all need those microbes too.

And you need them to be regenerative.

So what I told the farmers then applies to you too, all right?

But what you need is a little bit more tailored

as a gardener.

You need a microbial regeneration to happen.

You need to fill in all the gaps of the microbes

that should be there at the times and seasons

that they should be there.

And for most of us, we're getting really contaminated soil.

And most people just push through

and don't want to look closely and just hope for the best.

You can't do that with your kids' health.

Not with the crazy stuff that they've got in the soil.

I've got cars and vehicles that will work

on a mechanic's garage that covers most of this area.

You know, until I have a verification that this area

is remediated, I can't do anything, you know what I mean

with that.

So we got to do contamination removal.

This means that, you know, you're going to be checking

for contaminations.

This means you're going to be checking for the microplastics,

for the pathogens, because it's different for contamination, right?

Number three, input monitoring.

You're going to look at the things that are coming in

under the microscope.

Number four, compost calibration.

You're going to like fix that compost

and then you're going to verify that it's fixed

and it's calibrated to your actual soil and goals.

And then you're going to have systemic monitoring

and data compilation in comparison.

And that sounds like crazy, maybe,

but it's just looking at the microscope doing some tests

throughout the season, beginning the end of the season

at the very least.

Because once you start lining this up

and you can see that, oh, we're getting less and less

every year in Boron, Lybdenum, and Sulfer.

Oh, you know, like you begin to understand, you know,

why that thing is no longer as peppery or spicy,

that other thing doesn't have the same kind of character

at once had.

And it's mineral related, right?

Or, you know, you're like, what is this going on?

And you're like, oh, my gosh, I have a nematode

infestation inside this, right?

You know, like there are nematode infections

that get into leaves and such.

So you're going to be able to, and then the root root

nematodes and all sorts of things.

So you're going to want to be able to monitor.

And the reality is for us, gardeners,

we have it the easiest.

These solutions that we can do, we can do way more of it.

You can do it faster, we can respond faster.

We can cover the whole area.

It's, you know, some of these farms,

they need time to do this work.

The soil needs to be right because machinery, you know,

you're just going to get stuck in the middle of the field.

Like there's all these things that have to happen.

So we're really blessed in the garden.

And we can do all this at a totally higher level.

When we have a microscope.

So we get to DIY things.

Maybe you're doing water kefir.

That's your DIY EM.

Yeah, here's some fresh kefir that didn't,

didn't have any air yet.

And it's this guy right here.

Doesn't have any air in it yet.

But man, you can see that there are rods.

You can see fat, you know, the fat round

and all void yeasts, those are yeasts.

And those rods, they're not very long

because that's aerobic right now.

So it's not facultative, it's not fermentive,

it's, you know, lots of air.

So those don't get very long.

There's one above the end right now.

It's pretty long.

It's, you know, respectable.

We know who you are, right?

It's lactobacillus.

But those stereotypical long ones,

that's when there's not any air

and you're keeping it like sealed up

for a week or two or three, more months.

So, so you might be working with keeper grains.

You have excess grains that go in the compost.

I used to make compost teas

and those grains would start to go in there.

It was the combination of these things

that really transformed my original California soil,

which was oxidized alkaline and 140 degrees.

Yeah, it was bad.

Turn this into this and it's because of the pH,

the EH and the microbe present.

So it was the combination of those things

and people using what I teach are able to double their harvests

even with just the book regenerative soil

people are doubling their harvests.

So all these diagrams, the EH pH charts,

the cycles, the what to do, toxicity deficiency,

all of it, all the natural cycles that work,

all the recipes, all the actions,

all the amounts, the timing, the builds,

new tests, new tools, they're all in there.

In my books for regenerative soil and regenerative soil microscopy.

So there's new insights and because of that,

you get new results.

That's really what I was able to bring to the fore

with the regenerative soil trilogy.

But you may ask, hey, I'm in the garden.

So how can this microscope help me?

Well, microbes are the canaries in the coal mine.

And they're going to tell you first when something's wrong.

And so if you're not monitoring the microbe,

something can happen and your food can get contaminated,

something can happen and you won't know

until it's you're experiencing it.

So we want to be able to tell living and death

and that's what that top one is, the darker it is,

the more life, the brighter it is, the less life.

We could also see it with bright field in the bottom

to a degree, but it's so dramatic and easy with side by sides.

And the epiphora is since unit with the right dye.

And then you could verify your inoculants.

Before you use it, is it good inoculant?

Are they glowing propagules?

There you go.

And then you can catch bad product.

Oh dear, this happy frog was not so happy.

You can verify regenerative micro-risal fungi.

Did it come back next?

This is asparagus where it came back, right?

It's glowing, it has the hyphae is there next year.

And then comparison, right?

One is brighter than the other.

One has accumulated way more phosphate than the other

and root hair evaluation.

Are our root hairs filled with bacteria?

Are they releasing bacteria?

Are they even present?

Pathogen and disease, early detection.

Hey, there's a phusarium spore in here.

Hey, that's ultranaria, man.

We have to know what we're looking at.

We gotta have our spore atlas ready, right?

We, we, you gotta know.

And then input screening.

You know, is this good?

Is this have the things in it that we need?

Notice that this is that water key for I just showed you,

but that clumping behavior looks very much like EM.

If you have my book, we're trying to solve my cross,

could be right?

And I suspect prevalence of a bacteria is in there.

And then microplastic detection.

Yeah, microplastics are everywhere.

Everyone's talking about it, but who's actually looking?

Who's actually tracking?

Who's actually detecting?

And then problem is diagnosis.

What's missing?

What's not cycling?

Looking not just at the microscope for the microbes

because their morphology tells you the environment.

Yeah, the morphology, they were, so you have like,

you know how like, why does everything have fins in the ocean,

right?

Why do things on land have eyes, right?

You know what I mean?

Because the environment dictated those adaptations,

they were the most effective, most adaptive,

and most competitive.

So this is why we have the same exact looking thing,

but their DNA is completely different.

You're like, this is fungi, this bacteria,

why do they look alike?

Because the environment, the environment.

So we can diagnose a lot of problems like that.

You can also diagnose reverse, right?

So you're like, okay, total digestion,

plant sap analysis, M3 or all-brek,

and then you test it and you're like,

oh, my plan is not getting this,

but it's there in the total digestion.

It's not in the M3.

So I need phosphate, I need maybe phosphate solubilizers,

I need, you know, iron keylators.

You will need something specific,

and then you can brew that up, you can verify that brew,

and then you can add it.

So good, better, best discernment.

When we can determine this, best practices go viral.

What's going on is people are like,

well, what's good, better, best?

Is it compost?

Is it high compost that Johnson Sue?

Is it just the endophytes?

Is it just this?

It's like, well, with a microscope

and these tests put together,

you can discern that for yourself,

for your site, for your operation,

for your garden, for your balcony, for your indoor grow,

all of it.

And that's what these things do.

They give us the ability to make better decisions

by allowing us to be more informed.

Not a complicated idea,

but it's a simple, powerful idea

that up until now, people haven't been able

to fully grasp or adopt,

but you may ask our people making a living

and an impact with soil microscopy, right?

Rubberhead's the road.

Well, let me tell you about Ryan Noss.

He may still be here.

He was here at the beginning.

If you're still here, Ryan, thank you for being here.

I appreciate you.

He's a soil ambassador.

And he works with people like Raya Chaleta,

people like Elevate Ag, people,

there's so many people, Dave Olson.

You name it, Ryan is providing ingredients

for other people's things.

He's going to farms, he's growing things.

He's making large-scale innoculence.

Look at how happy that man is.

Thank you, Ryan.

And then he's making tanker folds and delivering it.

He's training people on how to use it

and then applying them.

He's doing the work.

Then he's teaching farmers.

They're steving can't well.

He uses my books to teach.

And I'm so honored by that.

And he sells boxes and boxes of them.

It's an absolute honor to be able to provide for the community

and be able to support soil consultants

who are out there doing the work.

So a consultants like Ryan Noss.

And you can see Laura Kavanaugh there.

You can see my books down there, bottom right.

It's just really, really an honor to be able

to be part of this community, to support this community.

It's just really wonderful.

So he's also creating products.

Like I said, that foundational fungi,

that's Ryan.

So he built that and he's like with green cover

Elevate Ag, SGS.

You know what I mean?

All of these people, sorry for the less of people.

There's so many people he works with.

Ah, and many other responses.

I love you all.

But he does testing with a microscope always

and forever all the time and trains the farmers

to use the microscope as well.

And he wants to do an in-person training

for working with farmers that pairs with me

and my microscope training and the way I think

and the way I consult.

So it'll be like a hybrid of the two,

our two worlds coming together to help people

get the training they need to then go and help Ryan.

Because Ryan needs other people to be taking on

some of these jobs and working for people.

So it's gonna be a way to get those skills,

those pragmatic skills and to prove yourself

and we can plug you in.

Appreciate you guys being here.

So Ryan is a student of the introduction

to Regina So my cross could be joined as way back when

and some of his amazing work,

the soil-beap connection you probably have heard of.

Dr. Allian Williams has been talking about this.

This is the most in-depth nutritional research

that's ever been done and they're starting with soil.

Well, one of Ryan's clients, Chad Minder's approved

and proteins was part of that study.

And this is his actual readout.

This is just his, right?

But that study that Allian Williams talks about

that everyone's got really excited about

or it's like 85% more nutritious, we're seeing here.

And if you got my email about this,

you already know about this, but Ergo Thion and this is

a very special, it's an amino acid,

it's a rare odd chain fatty acid.

And this is a building block for amino acids,

become peptides which become proteins.

So it's a building block for your body

that was not part of meat ever growing up

unless you ate wild, hunted meat.

So orcrop in another country

like that where they were doing things regenerative.

So in America, the feedlot,

the conventionally raised beef just did not have

what nature wanted you to have,

where your body was designed to accept

and then build a healthy body with.

We are being denied our birthright of healthy food

to the point that we are missing fundamental building blocks

to our health and it starts in the soil.

And Chad and Ryan, I've been able to really showcase this

and communicate this to a lot of people.

These meat sticks have a grass verified Omega 3-6 ratio

that is near two to one.

So that's like Pacific, you know,

or Alaskan salmon, right?

So it's really, really, really, really good.

Wild caught salmon, right?

Not anything else.

So this is gonna become the standard,

they're gonna test things.

So it's gonna be my cross could be plus DNA,

plus mineral trusting, plus soil organic matter,

plus pH, plus relevant nutritional compounds

and metabolites in there

and they're gonna connect the micro to the macro.

And this new holistic testing

is what is giving us all this insight

because healthy soils create healthy plants

with great healthy animals and people.

And this truth is finally circulating.

My friend Todd Harrington, I talked about him the time before

this is what happened with Governor's Island.

He transformed it with like he did the compost part

for as part of this effort with a larger company.

If you've not seen this video,

there's a full version of it on Todd,

just look up Todd Harrington on my YouTube.

But I was actually in house making my own vermicompost.

I had a lot of control over it, you know?

I could control certain parameters

and I was kind of custom making it for this project

because that's what we do.

We make custom vermicompost for a lot of my projects.

So I don't really sell it commercially,

but I don't really promote it

because I'm making batches for my different clients.

And I know based on their soil chemistry tests

and their crops that they're growing,

I custom make it because I mineralize it.

I've been doing a lot of mineralizing vermicompost

with biology and you got to be really careful with it.

But because I had my own lab,

I was able to test the compost for decades.

So I've been mineralizing for a long time

and that's I'm still doing quite a bit of that

with my clients now,

but you got to be really careful with that stuff.

What kind of minerals you're using?

I rather use permits and plant-based minerals,

but I don't know, I go off on a tangent, I'm sorry.

So back to governors, it's kind of hard

when you've been doing this for a while.

So sourcing out compost was a real challenge back then,

but because I was in the business and I had a lab,

I knew a lot of people were sending me stuff to test.

So I knew these different companies

that were producing compost and I said,

oh, I remember he had really good this

and I remember this guy had really good that, you know what I mean?

So I sourced out several different compost,

we blended it together.

And then I had another thought, I said, you know,

there's no way that I can mimic

what plant roots exudates mimic making compost.

So, you know, you go through a thermal phillic,

we were doing thermal phillic

and then we do mesophilic with the earthworms.

Then I wanted to take it to another level

because there's no way that you can mimic

what the root exudates are feeding in those microbes.

So then I said, let's build some eco piles.

Now, I know there's stuff out there now

on the web talking about the eco piles,

but this is back in 2014 I was doing this

and I have videos and I have proof.

So I have all these small little wind rows

of different plants growing in the wind rows

that we're pulling sand,

this is the finished combined compost

that we started putting all the plants in

from the landscape project.

So you know how they have a nurse area

when they bring in all the plants

for a project like this, for big lands.

So I had them install different groups of plants

and different compost.

So let's just say we had more deciduous,

we had them over there,

we had the conifers over here in this pile.

I was doing a bunch of turf.

So we were put turf inside these cages

that had the compost in it.

And so then we would source the compost

out and make the LBAs from that exudated compost

that finished, so you know about curing.

So now after curing,

we go to the next stage

and we actually pump the exudates in there

for those particular plants and to those compost.

So now you're gonna get,

I would say customized specific

more indigenous heritage microbiology, right?

For those, that's what you want.

I mean, that's how you get really good

to eat complete biocomplete compost, right?

Or ecologically complete compost,

is you actually have those exudates feeding the micro.

And man, what a difference was on a microscope.

When you would sample that

and you'd throw it on,

you're like, holy macro, what a difference.

It's like someone turbocharged that compost,

or it was like a compost tea almost

before you're adding all the food in your area

for 24 or 36 hours.

I mean, it's just like,

because you'd pull it, you know, literally

I had them pull the plant out, shake it out

and put it in the brewer and then brew it.

And what a difference that made,

because man, we got results like that.

I mean, we saw things that I hadn't seen before.

And so the three year project

was squished into two years

and it just, it worked really well.

And I got to put a lot of credit towards Andy Don

because he was so into the project.

You know, the guy that I worked with for Brightview.

He's still with Brightview,

but he went above and beyond everything I asked him to do.

You know what I mean?

Like with the field guide,

the preparing everything,

and you know, the food sources for the extract

or the compost teas,

and even doing the applications.

Instead of, you know, an application a month,

we were doing them like weekly.

I mean, we were super aggressive,

but it was great they had it in-house

because every time they would plant,

they would do the LBAs on the root balls

and then plant it.

Ooh, before they lay the sod,

they would saturate the fields and then lay the sod

or even spray the sod down.

I mean, we were putting this stuff down like crazy.

And because they had, this is the key.

They, when I started that project,

I said, how much,

what do you have budgeted in for the LBA?

You know, and back then,

I was probably like a half a million dollars, dude.

It was like, wow, you really?

Cool.

I mean, you know,

and my next project after that with them

was the gathering place in Oklahoma.

And I said, well, how much is this one?

They go a million dollars for the LBA program.

I'm in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right?

So it wasn't just compost.

It was compost plus micro-ize,

and it wasn't just regular compost.

It was compost that was to re-minorize with worms

fed precisely the proper minerals

and foods to amend the soil.

So they let it sit,

they look, it looks very Johnson's suit, doesn't it?

Doesn't it?

And then it was compost with correct plant exidits.

Look at that.

They've got the trees, the target trees

that are inoculated with micro-izle fungi

releasing exidits into the pile.

Yes, they're keying it precisely.

And they're doing extraction

and then they're applying it liberally.

So it was all verified with the microscope.

This is how he's doing it at the largest scales.

Millions of acres.

Him and Todd, they're working together.

This is what they're doing.

And they're going to be using the our soil database

for at least my part of it.

And so we're all going to be working together on this.

And this is really just the beginning.

When the database launches and you all are included in that

if you're in regenerative soil and regenerative soil

microscopy, it's going to change the world

because it's going to provide clarity

so that they can do quality control

and just ramp it up.

So Michael Stangle, Michael Stangle is doing,

he's doing a portable compost extract.

My microscope allowed me to see soil

for what it really is.

It's a living entity that all plants

and all life are supported from.

Looking at soil, I started discovering

what was going on within our own consumers' lawns.

So since 2015, I was actually looking at our customers' lawns

and seeing the actual regenerative process occurring.

As well, I was creating static compost

and within that I was trying to create teas.

So since 2015, when I got my,

or we got our first microscope here,

we've been using the exact same one to date,

looking for life.

As you can see here, bacterial feeding nematode here

in this, I'm not sure if you can see this video,

but it's there.

It's interesting what life you will find.

But I was mentioning that we started creating

or calculating our biomass,

but we created a data field going back.

And I like to use calendars.

So my first calendar is 2014-15.

And we look at every day on this calendar throughout the growing

and you'll find that we've got numbers

through May all the way every month

of what the compost we use,

what its biomass ratio was,

what the biomass ratio would have been in the tea,

what the biomass ratio would have been extract.

We did teas from 12, 24, 36, 48, 72.

I experimented with every length of time

to see what would happen within the tea.

We have all that data here.

And like I was mentioning,

if we go to, this is 2018,

we can go in and we can see all the numbers.

We were looking for nematodes, Perzoa,

anaerobic to aerobic conditions.

And so this gives me a huge confidence boost

because of the microscope allowed me to see our outcomes.

Whereas in lawn care itself,

when we put a fertilizer on,

we're very limited to the visual field.

And within the visual field,

you put fertilizer on, it grows fast,

the consumer sees that it works

and that's what they constitute as working.

Long and short, it's not working, it's just an outcome.

And I always say this,

when you move into a new home or at any home,

you really have a legacy issue from the developer

who created that house

because the mainly the front lawn of any home is where

the heavy equipment would have been put,

the loaders, et cetera,

where the painters would have cleaned their paint

or brushes is basically a dump site.

And so I've always said that builders know how to build,

but they know dirt about soil.

When they put sod on coming from a chemical field,

it's they're expecting the consumer

or a company to come in and fertilize with chemical

because that's the only way you can get an outcome.

When you go 100% organic,

you really gotta look at what you're putting on

to meet the expectation of the consumer

because the expectation that consumer is unrealistic.

With regenerative lawn care,

you can get some really tremendous results.

There are specifics that you're gonna need to know

that I've lived through,

this is my 44th year I'm gonna be going into.

We've got some really good response.

We do use a lot of carbon,

a lot of kelp, a lot of fish,

and what we're looking for, what kind of outcomes,

and we follow up by using the microscope,

but strategic or what's instrumental

in every application is putting the biology

off from the Johnson suit.

Johnson suit is strategic with every application.

As well, I should have mentioned,

I do make lab lactosepacillus,

and I put that in with every application.

I communicate globally,

so I'm always talking with, say, Jerry Gillespie,

and he was the one who got me on the lab,

Graham State, the coal masters,

Elaine, oh, way back when we were conversing

back and forth, David Johnson and his wife,

James Wright, Matt Powers.

I mean, we're not just, as the coal masters would say,

there's no one teacher in anyone's life.

There's most of both teachers,

and I thank everybody for allowing me

to be involved with this,

and it's exciting to wake up every day

to try to do something better,

as well as frustrating because you do get consumers

who will jump ship and go back to the chemical

because their expectations were never met.

But that is something I strive to bridge that gap

to get them to understand that the outcome

is not based on the visual,

but it's based on a microscopic

that comes to the visual field,

and with that,

where genitive is here for a long time,

and I'm gonna be doing this for a lot more many years.

So he was literally doing Johnson suit,

doing extract,

and then bringing the Johnson suit extract back

and putting it back and recomposting it,

getting finer and finer and finer compost,

having stronger and stronger effect.

So he collects all the leaves

and the grass clippings from his clients compost them,

and then makes compost extract and returns

as a true feedback loop,

a true regenerative feedback loop,

that information, that nutrition, that biology,

that organic matter, super fine, back end.

And this feedback loop has just created such good compost.

And look at that, unbelievable.

Just incredible final product,

and it keeps getting better.

So yes, pH eight still,

you gotta use some EM,

but if you're like in Montana,

you're like, give me that.

Let me have it just the way it is, right?

So we gotta know what we want, why we want it,

how we want it, you know?

And then we gotta tailor it, calibrate it, monitor it.

And so let's look at it, let's look at stangles.

Yeah, let's do it.

So just some beautiful,

in the bottom left, testing the Meebe looks shattered,

that looks like a little rough,

but the pink one on the right, that one's fine,

but look at it, look at it.

You guys see, it's eating spores.

So yes, we can verify these things are eating spores

and eating bacteria, they're omnivores, right?

And then look at those little dots.

Notice how some of the yellow circles, right?

So notice, those are bacteria,

but notice how some of them are paired up,

some of them are grouped up.

That's because the ones that are grouped up

are vibrating or spinning around each other,

and they're exchanging information

as horizontal gene transfer, they're exchanging genes.

And in response to their environment,

they're literally changing.

Now the red circles, those are spores,

the large blue circles, those are test data Meebe.

They're huge and beautiful.

The orange circles, a nematode, the blue circles,

we're not very close, we're kind of far away,

we're at 100x.

So those are likely test data Meebe,

but we got to say likely at this point.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

It's like important when you're at this thing

to be non-definitive, but that's what those likely are.

And then the larger ones here,

the larger, the turquoise circles, they are all fungi.

But the smaller ones, I'd want to get close

and look at them and verify that,

but the bigger ones, it's easy, verify it,

but I also have the series of images

and I already verified them.

Now here we look at test data Meebe.

The one in the far right is you can see the mouth

at the bottom, but it looks like it might be a little damaged

or crushed, but you can see the mouth at the bottom.

So we've got already a huge diversity,

huge diversity of test data Meebe,

which is what you want to see.

I also see Lactobacillus in there,

we've got some rods, beautiful rods.

We also hyphae on the sides

and then red around that giant spore.

And then here's red around spores,

but then that one spore, the one in the middle

at the bottom, when that's like an oval football shape

with like a dimple on one side, that's likely alternaria.

And of course, the blue circle up top,

that's a test data Meebe, Meebe.

And so he's doing bricks on grass

and seeing levels that most people

aren't even getting their tomatoes at.

So this is like primo forage, you know,

if it was for animals, that he's doing all naturally.

So what about large scale?

Well, people are doing large scale composting

in Canada, Michelle Bisson.

There's another one of my students,

Michael Stangles, one of my students as well.

And this is really wild, right?

This is all Johnson Sue.

He's also using the microscope to monitor it

and to do quality control.

So we're all in communication,

but what's most important is that they're in communication

with the microscope to the microscopic world,

to their soil at an appropriate level,

so that they can catch these things early on.

And we're all in growth mode because it,

because we are able to monitor our progress

and stay in growth mode.

We're regenerating soil together.

I believe great things come from community.

This is my vision for the future.

I believe the RSOLE database is going to transform everything.

So imagine this.

What if farmers tested before,

farmers tested the inputs that,

including their methods, timing and amounts,

then farmers tested after.

And a 360 degree testing, biology, minerals and physics,

micro-demacro-minorals and toxins and heavy metals.

This is the number four part of a general soil microscopy

in a nutshell, any additional test methods.

And I mean it.

Look, MBK, slendety, pH, DNA, you know, all of it,

all of it, all of it.

Because when we put it together with plants app

and antishuanalysis with yield per acre,

we get farmers going and then they start sharing their results.

They see what works and why.

They discuss their results and methods

and then things go viral.

They adapt their actions.

The most beneficial and powerful actions

are going to become viral.

And farmers everywhere will profoundly benefit

and thus people will everywhere as well.

So what if we help farmers transition?

We show them the microbes that matter.

We let them see it.

We give them the ability to believe in and support

this inoculation but actually seeing it.

And then we'll start building some serious soil.

We've got to bring them into the process.

It's win-win when they can do the color coordination

just like any child can and when they can physically see

these things move.

We need to co-create these solutions and spread comprehension

and the appreciation for our work will only exponentially grow.

By microscopists supporting other microscopists

who are supporting farmers, we will change the world.

In this webinar series, we've only scratched the surface.

This works all about results

and that's full genetic potential, the most abundant,

the deepest colors, the most intense flavors,

the most nutrient dense because nutrient deficiency

is vulnerability to pest diseases and viruses

and we've seen it time and time again.

And we can verify it all.

We can showcase that.

We can see that for ourselves and prove that to ourselves.

So what if you learn all the microscopy methods,

you confidently test and evaluate your soil and compost

with a microscope from home,

you consistently verify that your methods are beneficial.

You help others evaluate and understand

their soil, bio fertilizers and compost.

You're part of a community of citizen scientists

focused on soil, water, fungi and compost.

You can do this.

Your challenge is to join the full course.

Regeneresome microscopy begins Monday.

Science closed at midnight.

It's incredible offers.

We have payment plans, folks.

And it's 20 weeks of pre-recorded video

with 20 weeks of live sessions, additionally.

So you could take the whole course self-paced

but then you can join us for the live when you can

or this season or next season

or because you have lifetime access and do the lab work.

So it's lifetime access to all the course materials.

There's video training.

There's audio downloads.

We have live Q&A.

I've got a survey that goes out.

So I never miss your questions.

They end up as a replay.

You always get your answers.

And then there's live microscope training.

You can hook up your camera directly to Zoom

and then we can look at it together.

I can answer your questions and you can showcase

what's going on and you can also help other people.

We have an online community.

It's an incredible, exclusive community.

And then it's one year from your membership

of the RSL database and it's digital guides,

rulers, grids, and rubrics.

And of course, the exclusive Regeneresome across

could be e-book because that's not available for purchase.

So I'll send out that survey on Fridays.

Saturdays, we're gonna have live Q&A, 1 PM, 4 PM central,

usually, but sometimes it's Sunday.

It's in-depth learning.

You're gonna go through everything.

We're gonna teach you the full range.

I have hundreds of Elaine Ingram,

Swale Food Web graduates that come to this course

to expand their learning, to update their learning,

to go deeper with their learning.

And a huge part of that process is small group learning

so that you get that small classroom environment feeling

and it incorporates deeper with your learning.

We also go down to the original source material.

It's student centered, so it's your projects,

your samples, your site, and thus your breakthroughs.

Plus, you learn all those additional microscopy methods.

It's not just bright field,

and then you develop fluency in it.

And you get to work with me.

So what are the students saying?

They love this course.

And it's working with others really for a lot of folks

that really helps them go deeper.

And so folks really enjoy taking the course multiple times.

This is a teacher at Boise State University.

I've learned so much these past few weeks

and indeed this past year in both courses,

you're truly a gifted teacher, a very gifted teacher,

and I've inspired me to try even harder

to be a better teacher myself.

I'm narrowing the end of my formal teaching career

and was starting to lose steam,

but I am now feeling energized to take it to the next level.

I love teaching teachers, and I love helping folks

that are just starting this and need it to be in bite size,

pieces to make it clear.

And that's what I did here for Alisa.

So I do both and that's the thing is educators

see how I'm breaking it down and it allows them

to break it down so that they get clarity

of their understanding.

The way I do it is very, very different

from everyone else.

People are just loving it, right?

This is as good as it gets the whole family's cheering.

There's lifetime access to the course in community.

But why is it different?

Well, it's real time.

You get to train in real time.

You get to go over your samples.

You get to see over a dozen other samples

along that theme, that week.

So if it's like soil, you're going to see

over a dozen samples of soil from all over the world.

If it's hot compost, you're going to see over a dozen

hot compost samples, you know?

And we do that for weeks and weeks.

You get to share your microscopy images

through a camera over zoom in real time.

This is what's missing from the industry at large.

The sharing of the actual information

we're actually seeing.

And then connecting it to the actual results

to show that it actually worked.

This is what's been missing.

And with our students, with our farmers,

we're able to showcase all of it

and to show these benefits so that people can...

Because there's been a lot of uncertainty.

There's been a lot of ideas that sounded good,

but were not real.

And we need that transparency

because we can flip everything around.

It's different.

Like I said, it's a difference between people going bankrupt

and people making money this year.

It's stark.

So we have to be transparent.

We have to show it.

It has to be real.

It has to be strong.

It has to save the farm.

The only way to do that is to show it,

to show that this really does work as a community.

And so I invite you to participate in that.

And then get the practice you need

and the individual feedback

and the small group feedback

to really gain that competency

that turns into solid bedrock confidence.

So you're gonna be debunking.

We're gonna be demystifying.

We're gonna be exploring a lot.

And we're gonna be discovering.

There's so many discoveries that keep happening.

I'm so excited about it.

And new protocols.

So you can start your home lab.

You can start your community lab.

You can protect your community.

You can protect your family.

Unlike the highest levels of health.

Get your feedback from me

on your microscope work and interpretations.

And submit a sample and review and get feedback

so that you can earn your regenerative cell

microscopy certification.

We have special options.

We got a notebook option

because if you already bought it, I get it.

But then there's bonus course options.

There's double bonus course options.

Plus, where are you gonna put all the data?

How are you gonna organize it and analyze it?

How are you gonna showcase your project

or showcase your work with clients?

There you go.

It's our soil database.

That's how we're gonna do it.

We're gonna elevate the entire industry

of soil microscopy and soil consulting

so that you all get shown in the best light

so that your wins get recognized

so that the community can see your hard work.

My guarantee is I always deliver it.

This is my 24th book.

This is my seventh Kickstarter.

There's a 30 day money back guarantee of course

as with all of my things, well, we start Monday.

I hope that you join us.

This is a game changer.

It's never been this amazing set of clothes at midnight,

but what about the cost?

There's course payment plans.

So you could spread the payments out for the course

but then you're like, but the microscopes are expensive.

Well, you get 34% off LWB scientific

through the rest of the month

and I say month all March because something else is happening.

That's right folks.

The payment plans are here.

So the HPAC, the microscope, it's how happening now.

You can do payment plans on everything.

So the payment plans are going live Monday,

15% off the HPAC, 30% off LW scientific products.

So in other words, the microscopes are 30% off

with a payment plan.

So you'll be able to make easy payments.

There's 10% discount off any of our items on the website.

The extractors, the verma flow, the HPACs.

So if you want to go farm scale with an extractor

or home scale with an extractor,

soil consultants, portable labs, microscopes,

the payment plans and the discounts are here for you finally.

This has been something we've been working on.

I've been waiting on.

I've been wanting to tell you guys about this

for so many weeks.

So learn regenerosoil microscopy,

learn the protocols in depth,

live practice weekly with us and live groups,

start that lab, unlock your soil, help the community.

You can do this.

Join us in the 20 week course.

Regenerosoil microscopy, it starts Monday.

I hope that you join us.
