This week we have the opportunity to talk with Matt Powers about permaculture and his new book Regenerative Soil Microscopy. The origins of Matt Powers into a permaculture and regenerative practitioner - 02:0020:27 - Matt explains the Regenerative Soil trilogy of books that he has authored 44:20 - When working with microbial DNA testing are you focused on fungal dominant microbes or bacterial dominant?53:10 - Are endophytes visible under a scope? Are there any known microbes that prefer endophytic life?1:01:13 - Can you please explain the difference between fungal dominant and bacterial dominant in the soil?01:05:54 - What’s a good place to go for soil testing?01:19:35 - Is there a correlation between the good smells in soil and certain organisms?01:27:30 - How is it possible to achieve an environment with microbiological quorum sensing?01:30:50 - How do you remediate high pH clay soil in an arid environment?01:34:37 - Can you talk on paramagnetism and how soil uses that energy?01:41:21 - How does pH and fungal domination correspond? Does mycelium grow better in acidic environments? If so can low pH Natural solvents with yeasts and chitin stimulate its growth?01:44:05 - Are there certain mushrooms that can kill nematodes in soil/worm bins? Do all fruits of fungus reduce nematodes?Join us every Friday night at 9pm est on YOUTUBE (@MIBeneficials) to drop your questions live OR feel free to drop your questions here in the comments.
