Changing our DIRT into SOIL on the farm without chemicals!
What happens here
The speaker revisits areas where hay was applied two to three years prior, showcasing lush, green grass where previously there was bare dirt or gullies. This demonstrates the long-term effectiveness of returning carbonaceous material and manure to the soil. A key indicator of success is the presence of earthworms found beneath cow patties, signifying a healthy, nutrient-rich soil ecosystem.
Goal: After several years, observe the positive effects of the hay application, including improved grass growth, reduced erosion, and a return of beneficial soil organisms like earthworms.
