I was going to try and work in some hugelkultur this year. Assuming this would still work would in this system, I just put the logs and such above the A?
Cool video! Although I'm a bit confused as my gf has a masters chemistry and she is adamant that Cations are positively charged and Anions are negative.🧑🏫 🤷🙏
I wish there was a way to search comments… I have serious pillbug infestation… any tips? Using spinosad soil drench seems to help… hard for cover crop to grow
Links to the places he likes to get supplies like fish brew dot com? Tell him to bring back soil from south america and hawaii and the indus valley so he can propagate it and sell it.
Excuse my ignorance, but this type of system doesn't require the water being PHed, correct? If not, is there a PH that is so absurd that it would require it to be corrected? Im in LA, and currently getting about 8.0 PH out of the tap.
Have to correct you, cations are actually positively charged and anions are negativity charged. If you’re teaching people at least teach them correctly. The way I remember it is, cation has a t in it that looks like plus sign and anion sounds like anti or negative. I do like the concept here thanks for sharing.
perfect timing and excellent video, this guy is easy to follow and understand and I'm in the middle of digging a future cannabis garden. I don't know that I would do all this for my 5 gal pots as I dump and recycle them every season, but for a permanent bed this is perfect and an understanding I've been looking for.
lol, I watched this about four times!
Is just planting into the earth better if the soil is good
Hey Leighton, would large beach style pebbles be ok for E horizon? Lots of colours!

Would hydroton work for the e horizon?
''Dude! I'm a fucking soil engineer!''

This looks like a hell of a lot of work, is it that much better than soil? Are there any scientific test or just anecdotal stories?
What if u had to cut a plant because of bugs or mites would u put it back into the soil?
P horizon. Parent material is the base or bedrock layer in soil horizons
Plow pan is from mecanical compression hard pan is chemical
Where can i just find the pic
he say dont use wood chips in the mix but what about to cover top of the soil?

Nice AMG javelin.
Transporning, hee hee . 🤣
😎
Should have a show with chip Osborn and Leighton

am i tripping or is this a vertical layered system? not sure where horizontal comes into play here
