The Science of Soil Fertility in 3-Steps Part 2: Multiply the Microbes That Build Soil Fertility

Learn to multiply beneficial microbes for soil health using Dr. Elaine Ingham’s aerobic composting method. ✅Access dozens of FREE soil science videos here 👉 https://bit.ly/3rwVz3u and learn about courses in soil health here 👉 https://bit.ly/3vqGKk2 Once you’ve gathered the key groups of beneficial microbes from your local area, the next step is to multiply them so they can be used to inoculate the soil and restore biological function. In this webinar, we’ll take a deep dive into the aerobic composting method developed by Dr. Elaine Ingham and refined over four decades of research and fieldwork. This approach supports the growth and reproduction of beneficial microbes while suppressing or eliminating pathogens. We’ll cover how to create the ideal compost recipe and manage the key variables—temperature, moisture, and aeration—to promote optimal microbial activity. You’ll also learn how we use the microscope to assess the finished compost and how we fine-tune its biology to ensure a balanced community of the four major groups of soil microorganisms before application.

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. 0:00 Welcome to Webinar 2 0:43 Meet the Mentors 6:26 Webinar 1 Recap & What's Ahead 9:09 Small Scale Composting Production 11:11 Core Principles of Composting 12:22 Soil Food Web Approach to Composting 14:34 What is a Biocomplete Compost? 17:08 Objectives of Multiplying Microbes 19:08 Microorganisms Under the Microscope 21:46 How to Multiply Microorganisms: Key Considerations 22:38 Temperature Management in Composting 25:24 Moisture Levels in Compost 30:08 Oxygen Levels in Compost 33:09 Fungal to Bacterial (F:B) Ratio 38:09 Compost Recipe 48:42 Turning the Compost Pile 50:20 Essential Equipment for Small Scale Composting 53:40 Large Scale Composting: Introduction 55:28 Quantity of Materials and Equipment 56:39 Composting Timelines 57:26 Windrow Composting 1:02:40 On-Farm Composting Examples 1:05:40 Windrow Turning and Hydration 1:08:48 Compost Application & Results 1:16:59 Promo Video 1:20:25 Q&A: Worms and Microorganisms 1:22:07 Q&A: Beneficial Fungi vs. Pathogenic Fungi 1:35:28 Q&A: Improving Soil Structure in Hot/Dry Climates 1:39:49 Q&A: Compost Temperature Requirements 1:45:00 Q&A: Composting in Hot Weather 1:49:09 Q&A: Composting in Cold Weather 1:51:24 Q&A: Visiting Regenerative Farms 1:53:23 Q&A: Turning Compost into Soil vs. Laying on Top 1:57:56 Closing Remarks & Next Webinars #compost #drelaineingham #soilfoodweb #BiologicalCompost #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #biologicalfarming
