The Importance of Diversity in the Soil

The Nutrition farming podcast is back! Episode 5 of Series 3 is entitled,  “Small Beginnings - the Dynamics of DIY, Living Fertilisers”. In this fascinating session, the focus will be on building soil biodiversity and problem solving with microbial inoculums that can be produced inexpensively on the farm. There is an in-depth look at the often unrealised potential of seed treatment. The rewarding recipe involves a versatile lactobacillus tea. The human health fits the story line in that we are drilling down to a cellular level as a strategy to boost longevity, via awareness of the roles of our telomeres. The Illuminating interview this episode involves revelations from Grant Sims, the innovative broadacre farmer and consultant who was one of the founding members of the wonderful Victorian No-Till Association.
