Soil as a Battery: Johan Voragen on Conductivity, Microbes and Electroculture

As host, I sit down with Dutch regenerative farming adviser Johan Voragen to explore farming as a living, resonant system. We dig into soil as an electrical battery, plant–microbe sugar exchanges, and how reducing salty synthetic inputs (especially blanket nitrogen and fungicides) can restore conductivity, balance and resilience. Johan shares practical transitions for farmers—split urea applications, multi‑year soil rehabilitation and working with field “leaders”—alongside more experimental frontiers such as electroculture, cloud‑busters, TimeWaver information‑field analysis and intention‑led land stewardship.We range from Avebury’s ancient energetics to modern controversies—policy pressures, the demonisation of CO2 and the squeeze on smallholders—while keeping the focus on grounded steps any grower can take: reconnect with your soil, observe, measure, and move from force to flow. Whether you have a thousand acres or a window box, this is an invitation to cultivate vitality by working with nature’s signals rather than against them.'The Bases Project' (official site): https://thebasesproject.org/about/BASES TV (official streaming platform): https://www.basestv.com/Johan Voragen – Kavel E12 (regenerative agriculture consultancy, NL): https://www.kavele12.nl/advies-johan/TimeWaver (information‑field systems; official site): https://timewaver.com/international/en/Healy World (wearable frequency devices; official shop): https://us.healy.shop/English Heritage – Avebury (site overview): https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/avebury/English Heritage – Silbury Hill: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/silbury-hill/English Heritage – West Kennet Long Barrow: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/west-kennet-long-barrow/English Heritage – Alexander Keiller Museum (Avebury): https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/alexander-keiller-museum-avebury/National Trust – Avebury: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wiltshire/aveburyStonehenge & Avebury World Heritage Site (official coordination unit): https://www.stonehengeandaveburywhs.org/NASA Science – Cydonia region of Mars (image brief): https://science.nasa.gov/photojournal/cydonia-two-years-later-4Nick Pope (official site): https://nickpope.net/wpte19/Laura Eisenhower – Cosmic Gaia (official site): https://cosmicgaia.org/Brad Olsen (official site): https://bradolsen.com/Maria Wheatley – The Avebury Experience (official site): https://theaveburyexperience.co.uk/Lynne McTaggart (official site): https://lynnemctaggart.com/What Doctors Don’t Tell You – podcast page: https://wddty.podbean.com/Ringing Cedars / Anastasia – Anastasia Foundation (English‑language hub): https://anastasia.foundation/Wilhelm Reich Museum (Orgonon): https://wilhelmreichmuseum.org/museum/visiting-the-museum/Royal Raymond Rife (background): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rife
