The Soul of Soil is Community
David Yarrow
In the Circle of Life on Earth, soil is the beginning and the end.
Today, this Circle is broken, and one consequence is a plague of degenerative diseases. Our cure isn’t pills or potions, but the regeneration of soil. Essential ingredients of living soils are carbon, nitrogen, minerals & microbes. Carbon-Smart Farming provides a simple recipe to create fully fertile soil to grow nutrient-dense food and show us what true abundance looks and tastes like.
We will learn & practice how to regenerate soil to grow Nutrient-Dense, High-Brix Foods by balanced elements, added biocarbon and inoculation by a full diversity of microbes. Like baking bread, soil building requires the right ingredients in proportioned amounts, combined & applied by proper procedure.
MINERALS: Soil begins as rock. Primary elements from rocks are The Mineral Foundation for biology. Complete minerals, properly balanced, sets soil pH (acid/alkali balance = voltage) to optimize plant growth and fire up immunity to make disease and pests irrelevant. We will learn how to boost and balance the seven major minerals and complete the trace elements.
BIOCHAR: We will use fire to make biochar, a special form of super-stable carbon that increases storage and cycling of water, nutrients, electric charge, bacteria, fungi & earthworms. Fresh-made biochar is bone-dry and sterile, so we will prepare biochar for soil with the 4 M’s: Micronize, Moisten, Mineralize & Microbe inoculation.
COMPOST: Soil is a digestive organ to feed bioactive compost to breakdown organic matter into nutrients, and also deliver minerals & microbes. We will learn how to make Premium Quality Compost able to inoculate soils and deliver steady supplies of natural organic nutrients.
ORGANIC MATTER: Soils need shade & sugars from mulches & cover crops to provide a cool, moist environment to conserve moisture, shelter microbes & nurture roots. Living soil covers provide a Green Carbon Pathway to assure sugars, amino acids & other bionutrients to sustain soil microbes and plant growth.
MICROBES: Our ultimate goal is to nurture & culture thriving, living Communities of Micro-organisms in soil. Microbes are “cheap labor” to maintain stable pH, build soil pore structure, digest rock minerals, cycle nutrients, and assure vigorous, healthy plant growth.
WATER: First & final ingredient is water, whose gift to life is to flow and move. and form electrolytes with minerals. Water not only delivers chemistry to microbes, seeds & plants, but also Structured Subtle Energy to activate minerals, organize molecules & biology.
DRUM CIRCLE: After dinner, a Drum Circle will synchronize us together to the heart of Earth and beat of the land.
FIRE CEREMONY: As darkness descends, we will gather for a Fire Ceremony of Purification & Renewal, a simple seasonal ritual, and to burn a batch of biochar to regenerate New Harmony soils.

"What you think upon grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind
you magnify in your life. Whether the subject of your thought be good
or bad, the law works and the condition grows. Any subject that you
keep out of your mind tends to diminish in your life, because what
you do not use atrophies. The more you think of grievances, the more
such trials you will continue to receive; the more you think of the
good fortune you have had, the more good fortune will come to you."

This course sounds amazing. I could definitely come prepared to camp.... and will just have to see about borrowing or renting a car to come down from Montreal. And.. since I have an adolescent daughter --- "wizard" and "water angel" are definitely in my lexicon! ;-)

If i survive saturday, Sunday we will flip hemispheres and study ley lines & the dragon path the crosses temple rock at the south edge of the farm. I'm a master dowser of 4 decades, and I'm growing in belief the farm sits on a "sweet spot." And maybe a precolumbian earth & stone temple.
Monday we take a field trip to Dan Kittredge's nutrient-dense farm practicing biological methods 7 years.
