We’ve heard and talked about compost and compost teas. We’ve also discussed all the different ways to make your own compost and compost teas. But say that you just don’t have the time to make your own - you’d probably just hop on over to the mu
Carbon sequestration, carbon emission, carbon building. Soil carbon, organic carbon, and accessible carbon. They all keep popping up here and there in the farming space, but what exactly do they all mean? With carbon being thrown around everywh
What if your soil test just came back, and suddenly someone tells you that your soil’s nutrient values will stay consistent regardless of whether or not you put amendments? Understandably, you would find that hard to believe. You’d probably ask

With how far science has come, we’re still at odds in the face of finding the holy grail of agricultural research: finding nitrogen-fixing bacteria that affiliate with non-legumes. The search has been going on for 50 years with no luck. And thi
