Nostr

Sounds like my get rich quick scheme may not be realistic, certainly not the quick part 🥲 Mostly joking with that by the way.

Ok, so my main takeaway is to study regenerative farming if I wanna learn more about this world. Is there a best entry point you'd recommend for the casual learner like myself? No chance I'll actually do anything practical anytime soon, I have a small garden of herbs and tomatoes, not vast amounts of land I can set up any sorts of systems on. At least not yet... down the line it does appeal to me (years away).

If I can walk away with some tips and tricks to apply to gardening, and some ideas of what might be interesting to put into practice later when circumstances allow, that'd be a win for me.

Thanks for the surprise nostr convo, nice to meet you

Nice to meet you as well!

Matt Powers has alot of information available for free that you can dive into.

He also offers courses and books, but as an entry point into this realm, easily one I'd recommend. Start there and see where the road takes you.

I've gone through a few courses over the last few years and really got sucked into the microscopy aspect and biofertilizer creation.

While it's not a silver bullet to fix all the problems in the soil, soil microscopy is a powerful tool that helps you visualize soil conditions in real time to help steer you in the right direction on where to go from ground 0.

Every journey starts with a single step, I started with 120 composting worms and since then I have increased my plant health, soil knowledge, and hunger for information.

Similarly I have a very small area that I take care of, but it helps me build my confidence and gives me an opportunity to try things on a small scale and see where it goes.

Soil microscopy, I like the sound of that. Very good, Matt Powers in the learning queue. May be a bit before I get into it, but if/when I do I'll come back and let you know what I think

Noted. Yeah podcasts might be cool. I've gotta pace myself, biting off a bit more than I can chew with interests lately.

For today I've got to take care of some sort of fungal gnats appearing on my precious little herb sprouts yesterday. Some sort of tape traps and diatomaceous earth I'm told are the remedies. Off to grab that shortly!

Soil matters with leighton Morrison is pretty good too.
