Lawrence Mayhew, “The Chemist of EarthWorks,” joins Joel Simmons for a wide-ranging conversation about humic substances, soil biology, nutrient efficiency, and the evolving science behind Biological Soil Management. Lawrence explains how humic substances moved from being poorly understood and difficult to label to becoming widely used for improving nutrient bioavailability and fertilizer performance.The discussion explores rhizophagy, the process through which plants cultivate microbes, bring them into their roots, extract nutrients, and release them back into the soil to repeat the cycle. Lawrence and Joel also examine the importance of enzymes, trace elements, carbon diversity, micronization, and complex product formulations in creating biologically active soils and longer-lasting turf responses. The central message is that reducing fertilizer inputs requires more than simply applying less product. It requires changing the soil system so microbes, chemistry, and physical soil conditions work together more efficiently.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ EW Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

Matthew 13:1-23 Healthy Soil Healthy Soul Matt Nault

Evan Harrison shares his journey from working in radio, digital media, and live events to becoming the CEO of Kiss The Ground, a leading nonprofit championing Regeneration and healthy soil as a solution for human and planetary health. We talk about the organization's innovative content strategies, like their three feature-length documentary films, mini docs, 5 with a Farmer reels, 11 with Evan series, shopping guides, and the brand collaborations that help them reach new audiences. Then we dive into the $500,000 in farmer grants they awarded last year and their new research that shows consumer understanding of regenerative agriculture has increased threefold in just 3 years! We wrap up with some fun personal questions, and Evan shares his vision for a better world.Key TopicsEvan Harrison's career transition from media to environmental activismThe success of Kiss the Ground films and content strategy$500,000 in farmer grants and their impact on land regenerationThe threefold growth in consumer understanding of regenerative agricultureHow $100 is the sweet spot for community donations and how they put that money to workPartnerships with brands and community engagementRising awareness and understanding of regenerative agriculture Sound Bites“In the early days of the internet, I was the writer, the producer, held the video camera, did the edit – the whole thing.

We need a content approach that can bring new people into the conversation instead of arguing about the details.”“There are now 200 regenerative products on shelves ranging from Costco to independent retailers across the country.”“The $500,000 in grants went across 212 farms, and when we look at their acreage that's being converted very conservatively, it's 73,000 acres."“Your $100 donation will help transition more than 10 acres of land.”“Our inspirational storytelling that reached 20 million people last year and engaged 5 million by engaged.”"Wherever you are, that's the place to be.”Chapters03:00 Introduction to Kiss the Ground and Evan Harrison09:00 Evan's Journey from Media to Regenerative Agriculture15:06 The Impact of the Kiss the Ground Film20:50 Content Strategy and Audience Engagement27:12 Supporting Farmers: Grants and Community Engagement38:40 Momentum in Regenerative Agriculture42:43 Partnerships Driving Change47:27 Innovative Fundraising Strategies50:49 Personal Reflections and Advice54:35 Creating a Better WorldLinksEvan Harrison on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanharrison/Kiss The Ground - https://kisstheground.com/Kiss The Ground on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/kisstheground/Kiss The Ground on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kisstheground/Kiss The Ground on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kissthegroundCA/ Kiss The Ground on X - https://x.com/kissthegroundCAKiss The Ground on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/kisstheground…Kiss The Ground 2026 Research: https://kisstheground.com/kiss-the-ground-research-2026/Forbes Article: Regen Grows 3X in 3 Years -https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewwatman/2026/06/18/new-kiss-the-ground-research-consumer-understanding-of-regenerative-agriculture-triples-in-past-three-years/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio…The Food Institute - https://foodinstitute.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we're revisiting one of Mitch's favorite conversations from the past five years of podcasting. Before regenerative agriculture, cover crops, and soil health became common topics in the hunting world, Mitch had the opportunity to sit down with Grant Woods to discuss food plots, habitat management, and the principles that eventually became known to many hunters as the "release process." Looking back, this episode helped shape the way he thinks about growing forage, improving soil, and managing habitat for both deer and the land itself. Dr. Woods shares his journey from conventional food plotting to no-till planting, diverse cover crop blends, and building soil health through natural processes rather than relying heavily on fertilizer and inputs. Along the way, we discuss deer nutrition, native habitat management, weed control, planting green, timber stand improvement, and how healthy soil drives everything from forage production to wildlife carrying capacity. Whether you're managing a small hunting property, planting your first food plot, or simply interested in becoming a better steward of the land, this conversation remains just as relevant today as when it was originally recorded.

In this popular episode from last spring, Joanne speaks with author and fruit tree care educator Susan Poizner about her book, Fruit Tree Pruning: The Science and Art of Cultivating Healthy Fruit Trees, and shares Susan's practical advice for growing healthier, more productive fruit trees. About Susan Poizner Susan Poizner is an award-winning author, journalist, urban orchardist, and fruit tree care educator based in Toronto, Canada. She trains arborists, master gardeners, and community and home orchardists in fruit tree maintenance through in-person workshops, online courses, and webinars. Her books include Grow Fruit Trees Fast, Growing Urban Orchards, Fruit Tree Grafting for Everyone and Fruit Tree Pruning. Here are some of the topics discussed in this episode: Fruit Trees Are a Long-Term Relationship, Not an Impulse Purchase Fruit trees require planning, patience, and ongoing care. Instead of grabbing a pretty tree from a garden centre, research disease-resistant varieties, pollination needs, rootstock size, hardiness zone, and the right nursery source before planting.  Proper Pruning Is Essential for Healthy Trees and Better Fruit Susan explains why young bare-root trees should be pruned the day they're planted, how formative pruning shapes a tree for life, and why mature trees can often be restored with thoughtful pruning. Learn the difference between trimming and pruning, especially how over-trimming can create dense, unhealthy canopies.  Healthy Soil, Smart Placement, and Natural Care Lead to Better Harvests To thrive, fruit trees need full sun, enough root space, compost or quality mulch, annual cleanup, dormant spray, and attention to soil health. Good care reduces disease pressure, improves fruit quality, and makes fruit trees more productive without relying heavily on chemical sprays.

The fruit and veggies that are planted in the garden won't grow without good soil. And there's a parallel there to our spiritual life. Fruit won't grow out of our hearts without a heart that is ready and willing to receive the Word. Michelle Akrami, author of "A Good Soil Life: Cultivating a Resilient and Whole Heart in a Hurried World," joins Megan to talk about her book and what she has learned from the Lord!

Then Mike Fransz, Director of Marketing for Nova Naturals, the company that owns and manages the Steaz brand now, shares why they brought the founders back and how it's recharged the whole team and brand. Michael Ham, co-founder of Wild Orchard, then shared the story of the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified ® tea farm and the role they play in this collaboration. We discuss the new product line, the challenges of this innovative and collaborative process, and what's bringing each guest hope for the future of our food system. Enjoy!Takeaways:Steaz was the first certified organic soft drink brand in America.Steaz was also the very first fair trade certified tea.The journey of Steaz began with a passion for tea and health.Reviving Steaz involved bringing back the founders to guide its new direction.The collaboration with Wild Orchard got them access to the world's only Regenerative Organic Certified ® green tea.Wild Orchard was the first USDA organic certified farm in Korea.Regenerative Organic agriculture enhances soil health and product quality.The younger generation is increasingly conscious of health, environment, and where their food comes from.Challenges in R&D delayed the launch of new products.Transparency in the supply chain builds consumer trust.Steaz's 1% for the Planet commitment reflects their dedication to sustainability and regenerative agriculture.Sound bites:“Our five P's, which is what we call the Quintuple Bottom Line Business Value System is rooted in Passion, Purpose, People, Planet, and Prosperity.”“We helped get the first fair trade certified tea estate in Sri Lanka up and running.”“We're evangelists for this regenerative organic certification process, not because it's just the cool next thing, but because it creates really meaningful impact across so many different places around the globe.”“The farm that was regenerative organic had the bees and the birds and the deer running through. It seemed to just attract an ecosystem, like Gaia.”“When we consume foods grown in healthy soil, it's actually syncing everything with our gut microbiome and it improves our overall health.”“At Steaz we call it doing good by brewing good.”"You are what you eat. If the soil is healthy, the plant's going to be healthy and tastier, and then when we eat it, it's going to be better in our body too!”“Everybody loves a comeback story. And this is a great one.

Jen Aron is an agroecologist and owner of Blue Raven Farm in Corbett, Oregon. She also worked as a farm educator for seven years with Oregon State University Extension. About five years ago, Jen wrote four articles for Growing for Market Magazine talking about how she built her farm on raw land east of Portland, Oregon, focusing on creating a healthy soil ecosystem and dealing with a whole slew of pest and disease problems along the way.The thread running through Jen's work and her articles is both the wonder and the power of healthy soil to grow healthy crops, and how to deal with the challenges we have in farming through soil-based solutions. So, I wasn't entirely surprised to hear that Jen recently went through an intensive 650-plus hour agro-ecology course with Nicole Masters, which has completely reshaped how she approaches on-farm consulting, education, nutrient applications, biology, soil testing, and weed management. Listen to this podcast episode for a deep dive into soil health and hear how Jen is applying what she's learned at the decade mark of Blue Raven Farm. Connect With Guest:Free article by Jen Aron from Growing for Market Magazine: Microbes for land repair: A 5-year eco-farming trialWebsite: blueravenfarm.orgInstagram: @blue_raven_farm Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Seven Springs Farm Supply is a farm-based supply company focused on serving market gardeners and has been in business for 35 years.

Changing course is never easy, especially if the change requires a complete overhaul at the most basic, fundamental level. Dr. Robin "Buz" Kloot of the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health and Soil Health Labs talks with Eric, Mary, and Jeff about this paradigm shift among farmers and within the soil science community.Buz explains how the shift in thinking and paradigms occurred. In many cases, people were focused more on the symptoms rather than the cause, for instance, soil loss through erosion or poor water infiltration. Understanding the underlying cause required a whole-system approach. For Buz, an open mind to farmers' stories and experiences, and a beginner's mindset as a scientist were required to truly grasp the dynamic nature of soil.         If you are beginning your journey with soil health and cover cropping systems, the featured length Under Cover Farms video, Buz and his team produced, provides a good introduction and uplifts the initial experiences of farmers in South and North Carolina. As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies; avoid bare fallows;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage as much as possible in your field or garden;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, high-quality food, farm enterprises, and livestock integration. The 4 The Soil team recently commissioned a new set of art posters to help people remember the four principles of soil health and celebrate that “We Are 4 the Soil!”.  If you would like to learn about the history of the art posters and access a link to purchase an individual poster or the set of five 4 The Soil posters, please visit our recent blog post: Spreading the Message for Healthy Soil with Posters!If you have questions about soil and water conservation practices, natural resource concerns, and soil health principles and practices to restore the life in your soil, call or visit a USDA Service Center, a Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District office, or your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office.  4 the Soil: A Conversation is made possible with funding support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The Agua Fund.

This week on the Local Food Report, a Korean Natural Farming teacher on the relationships that create healthy soil.

A project that aims to use kelp extracts to manage nutrients more efficiently is underway with a partnership of experts funded by Innovate UK. The project, 'Assessing Sugar Kelp Extracts as a Nutrient Management Tool' (or SKE-NMT), is in its early stages and is led by Algapelago Marine Ltd in collaboration with project partners The James Hutton Institute, Atlantic Mariculture Ltd and the UK Agri-Tech Centre. This project responds to the need for more efficient nutrient management in agriculture by adopting a biological approach, valuing the importance of microbial and fungal communities in the breakdown, cycling and retention of nutrients in soil. Through application of seaweed biostimulants under reduced mineral fertiliser application, this project aims to confirm new nutrient management options through stimulating plant responses and promoting healthy soil biology. Kelp extracts to manage nutrients more efficiently Seaweed supplements (due to their uniquely rich profile of fibres, micronutrients and bioactive components) enhance the growth of specific microbiota in soil, which leads to a cascade of biological functions with beneficial impacts for productivity, resistance to abiotic stress and resistance to pathogens. This approach is relevant across a wide range of crop types including broadacre, horticulture and top fruit. As such, use of seaweed biostimulants meet multiple biotic and abiotic challenges to transition to more sustainable and resilient farming systems. This will unlock further research opportunities to explore larger-scale field trials to confirm the ability of kelp biostimulants to improve Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE). How does it work? Rhizosphere microbiota is a collection of microorganisms that live in the soil and around plant roots and plays an essential role in the degradation of organic matter, nutrient retention and recycling. Previous work has shown seaweed extract application improves microbial diversity and community structure and benefits crop yield and quality. The SKE-NMT project builds on an ongoing Innovate UK project, called 'Optimising Low Energy Extraction of Kelp for Soil and Livestock Nutrition', and is assessing the ability of biostimulants and livestock feed additives, again derived from sugar kelp using a novel low energy extraction method, to influence feed efficiency and improve soil health. The seaweed extracts are novel, firstly because cultivated sugar kelp (a type of brown alga native to UK coastal waters) is a new species in the seaweed extract industry with a unique biochemical profile. Secondly, these extracts are produced using a novel low-energy fermentation and extraction process. Cultivated kelp offers a sustainable and scalable alternative to wild harvested marine biomass. However, the potential of novel cultivated seaweed biomass, particularly in applications like biostimulants, remains underexplored. This project aims to establish an innovative supply chain where cultivated seaweed biomass serves as a cornerstone, significantly contributing to the global transition toward sustainable agricultural practices. The new SKE-NMT project will quantify the ability of these low energy seaweed extracts to improve nutrient use efficiency in stringently designed crop trials. This will explore yield responses under reduced nitrate and phosphate conditions and correlate improved uptake of Nitrogen and Phosphorus under fertiliser limitation with impacts on microbial diversity and community structure. The project will combine the development of new technologies (novel seaweed extracts) with further means to improve nutrient use efficiency in arable and horticultural systems. Wider impacts Conventional nutrient management systems depend on high mineral fertiliser inputs, leading to high input costs and environmental issues. Incorporation of seaweed supplements can improve NUE with significant implications for carbon emissions and soil fertility. This project tests the hypothesis th...

We are thrilled to introduce our guest, singer, songwriter and author, Alex Woodard. Alex has toured nationally behind several critically acclaimed albums, earning a few prestigious industry nods while sharing the stage with some of his heroes.  His most recent release, Ordinary Soil, written in collaboration with triple-board certified MD turned regenerative agriculture warrior Zach Bush, follows a generational farming family haunted by a ghost from the past. Amongst early endorsers is Woody Harrelson, who offered "Ordinary Soil brings to haunting life the desperate realities of the American heartland, but also offers a glimpse into a better future... a call to action for all of us.” Alex lives with four horses, two dogs, two chickens, and two beautiful humans on a small ranch near the California coast. In this conversation we dive into:  How our current conventional farming system is damaging our soil. Why it's important to examine our relationship with the earth and the environment and to pay close attention to what we put into our bodies. How as a society, we have become deeply disconnected from nature, leading to the degradation of our soil and food systems. How and what action to take today. Don't wait until it's convenient or we have more time. How to improve soil health, which will ultimately improve the health of our planet and all human beings on this earth.

This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are joined by the passionate and insightful Vice President of Development at the Rodale Institute, Annie Brown. As a true specialist surrounding all things organic agriculture, Annie shares with us how the Rodale Institute was founded during the boom of chemicals being introduced to the farming industry and how one businessman's intuition led him from the hustle and bustle of NYC to rural Pennsylvania; where he studied agriculture practices of Indigenous populations that grew successful crops without the need for synthetic chemicals. From here, J.I. Rodale taught himself and his family how to effectively grow food without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This led to the founding of the Rodale Institute in 1947, and the revolutionary term,“regenerative agriculture”, was coined. From the Rodale Institute's inception nearly 80 years ago, the fight for accessible organic agriculture persists strongly in the present day. Through partnerships and consulting with like-minded businesses, Rodale creates a clear path forward for those seeking to make the crucial transition into organic agriculture by providing research, farmer training, and consumer education. Mountain Rose Herbs is a proud partner of the Rodale Institute. Together, we are working to create a food system in harmony with nature by paving the way for the future of healthy soil, healthy food, healthy people, and healthy planet. As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are so honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are an invaluable piece to our podcast. Send us an email at podcast@mountainroseherbs.com to let us know what solutions we should uncover next within the vast world of herbalism.  Learn more about Annie and the Rodale Institute:

This week, Jeff and Jonathan are discussing healthy soil structure—particularly the role of worms. As the true engineers of the soil food web, worms bring organic matter from the surface down into the soil. This action creates burrows that hold air, water, and organic matter, forming the building blocks for a thriving organic soil structure.After the break, the duo addresses a listener question about the differences between applying chemical treatments versus concentrated organic substances to soil.Finally, they highlight the importance of maintaining a gardening diary or journal.All that and more on this episode of Teaming with Microbes!**********************************************Have a question?
