What They Don't Tell You about Living Soil – Jeff Lowenfels spills the dirt on soil secrets in this eye-opening episode. Discover why living soil—teeming with beneficial microbes, fungi, and other life—is so valuable for your plants. Jeff explains the soil food web principles that make soil a living ecosystem, where microbes cycle nutrients and boost plant health naturally. The conversation dives into the differences between growing in inert mediums (like sterile potting mix with bottled nutrients) versus cultivating in microbially rich living soil. Learn how a living soil can lead to stronger, more resilient plants with enhanced immunity and flavor compared to chemical-fed grows. Jeff also shares practical tips for new organic gardeners (and experienced growers alike), including the importance of organic matter (even old roots) in your soil and not over-complicating the process. Whether you're growing cannabis or organic veggies, these insights will help you cultivate healthier, more vigorous plants naturally. Tune in for advice on brewing and using microbial compost teas, creating water-only super soil mixes, and effective soil inoculation techniques.

I heard a great quote that went something like this: when you're a child, you think your parents are gods. When you become an adolescent, you realize they're human. When you become an adult, you forgive them for being human. When you become wise, you forgive yourself for being human. My guest for this episode is Nick Dugmore. Nick is a winemaker in South Australia for his winery The Stoke. Nick listened to the episode I recorded with Jeff Lowenfels about the soil microbiome, and he's been traveling down the regenerative viticulture rabbit hole ever since. In 2023 he was named Australia's Young Gun of Wine, and then four months ago he was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. He's 39 years old. When you hear Nick's positivity, humor, and joy, keep in mind that he's in the midst of the following treatment schedule: 5 x 3 week rounds of chemotherapy with 1 week of intravenous followed by 112 tablets over two weeks and then a week break. Then 6 weeks of radiotherapy which is 5 days a week at the hospital for 45 mins. Then a 3 month break and then surgery to remove what's left. We talk frankly about his cancer and the fact that his alcohol consumption may have contributed to it. Yet Nick is incredibly grateful to work in wine, and he loves the winemaking community. Both Nick and I can thank wine for the most important relationships in our lives – our spouses. But if his cancer was caused by alcohol, there's a chance that alcohol could take his life. Both are parts of wine, and there are many more. Nick talks about the wine community that has come to his aid, and he talks about the spirituality of wine, and the beauty of Kangaroo Island where he converted 12 acres of conventional vineyard to a thriving regenerative ecosystem. He makes some profound connections between soil health, physical health, and mental health. And at least twice he mentions how busy we all are, and how this leads us to make thoughtless decisions… because we don't have the time to be thoughtful. It reminds me of the famous quote from Bill Mollison's Permaculture Designers Manual: "The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature, of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action." As I think about regenerating wine, Nick has made me think about how important time is. The speed of our lives is completely antithetical to the complexity of life. Look how patiently nature grows an ecosystem, look how it builds complexity and diversity layer by layer over centuries. I want to make wine this way. I want to think about wine this way, and let this perspective inform the decisions I make for this vintage. I want to stop rushing to buy things when I don't know where they came from or how they were made. I want to take the time to observe and learn about complex things carefully. I want to take the time to be grateful. If you're moved by Nick's story, he mentions a go-fund me campaign that his wine community set up for him and his family, and you can link to that here. https://stokewines.au/ Support this episode by subscribing via patreon.

It turns out that you owe a LOT to fungus. Specifically, you get more health and flavor in your food than you ever imagined from something called mycorrhizal fungi. In this episode, we dive into the following:What are these magical fungi?Why is it so crucial for creating healthy soil and flavorful food?What kind of farming disrupts it?What kind of farming enhances it?How do these fungi change the flavor of food?We dive into the topic using the following resources:A clip from a presentation from Dr. Jill Clapperton on soil healthFarmer Gail Fuller from KansasBook: What Your Food Ate by David R.

On this episode, we're gettin' down and dirty with sheet mulch. Sheet mulching is a no-till, no-dig gardening practice of removing unwanted vegetation and building fertile soil by layering organic matter and letting it compost in place. While the layers suppress weeds by blocking sunlight, subterranean soil biology goes to work to break down the layers into new soil. The beauty of this simple practice is that you can do it at any time of year with materials you have on hand (like cardboard, shredded paper, and leaves) or can source for free from local sources (arborist wood chips, coffee grounds, and spent mushroom substrate). We discuss the reasons for sheet mulching, when and how to do it, and what to use. Then we dive into the corrugated controversy around cardboard and ponder the role of science in gardening. Mentioned in this episode: “Pocket Prairies with John Hart Asher” (Horticulturati podcast episode, 2022); JHA pocket prairies ep of Horticulturati; Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture by Toby Hemenway (2001); “Fungal Vision with Daniel Reyes” (Hothouse podcast episode, 2018); Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets (2005); Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis (2006); “Mulches: The Good, The Bad, and the Really, Really Ugly” by Dr. Linda Chalker Scott (presentation to the Clackamas County Master Gardeners, 2019); “The Cardboard Controversy” by Chalker-Scott (Garden Professors blog, 2015); “Permaculture - More Concerns” by Chalker-Scott (Garden Professors blog, 2010).

Jeff Lowenfels is the author of several award-winning books on plants and soil, and he is the longest running garden columnist in North America. Lowenfels is a national lecturer as well as a fellow, hall of fame member, and former president of the Garden Writers of America. In this episode, Jeff shares a wealth of knowledge on organic gardening, nutrient density, and talks about his best selling books on organic farming. About Jeff Lowenfels books: Smart gardeners know that soil is anything but an inert substance. Healthy soil teems with life—not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. Teaming with Bacteria shows how, by working in conjunction with these microorganisms, gardeners of all skill levels can learn to improve their soil and cultivate its complex food web. In Teaming with Microbes, award-winning author Jeff Lowenfels revealed the fascinating facts around the soil food web, all the tiny organisms that live in soil and aid a plants growth. In Teaming with Nutrients, he explored how those organisms aid in the uptake of nutrients. And in Teaming with Fungi, he detailed the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi—the most important organism living in the soil. In his final book, Teaming with Bacteria, Lowenfels digs into the new science behind how endophytic bacteria supply nutrients to a large array of plants and explains, in accessible language, how this information applies to home gardeners, small-scale farmers, and cannabis growers. This conclusion to his Teaming quartet focuses on the cutting-edge science that will help gardeners increase plant health and productivity. A must-have addition to every organic gardener's library, Teaming with Bacteria leaves gardeners with the knowledge they need to cultivate healthy—and lively—soil for years to come.

We talk with Jeff Lowenfells about his book on the soil microbiome, Teaming WIth Bacteria. Then we revisit some of our best interviews of 2022. The post Jeff Lowenfels, TEAMING WITH BACTERIA & Best of 2022 appeared first on Writer's Voice.
originally aired 10.04.2022
In this episode, we're joined by the one and only Jeff Lowenfels to talk about soil science, the future of soil science, and unconventional growing practices which are far more efficient, sustainable, and practical for indoor growing. What does the future of soil science look like? If you're not familiar with Jeff, he describes himself as an “reformed lawyer”, who also happens to write the longest running garden column in North America, having never missed a week in 41 years. The combination of garden writing and law earned him the moniker of “America's Dirtiest Lawyer,”. He is the former President of the Garden Writers of America, a GWA Fellow and in 2005 was inducted into the GWA Hall of Fame, the highest honor a garden writer can achieve. Jeff is also the founder of a now national program that started as “Plant a Row for Bean's,” the soup kitchen in Anchorage, and is now “Plant A Row for The Hungry.” The program is active all 50 states and Canada and has resulted in millions pounds of garden produce being donated to feed the hungry every year. As of this recording, Jeff has just released his newest book of the Teaming With Series. You might be familiar with Teaming with Microbes, Teaming with Nutrients, but his newest book, Teaming with Bacteria, sheds an entirely new light on some of the most cutting edge soil science research, and that's what we're here to talk about today.

In this week's episode of the podcast John chats with Jeff Lowenfels who is the author of a new book “Teaming with Bacteria” described as The Organic Gardener's Guide to Endophytic Bacteria and the Rhizoghagy Cycle” Now this sounds quite scientific but when you hear about bacteria and the function, they have in the soil then you will begin to understand why it is so important to nurture them so that you can reap their benefits. Jeff's other books all under the Teaming with series include Teaming with Microbes, Teaming with Nutrients, and Teaming with Fungi. In this episode you will hear all about how these mighty garden friends can help you in your garden. What is clear when you are promoting the soil food web in your garden. Through mulching, compost adding and especially using no dig gardening you are providing all your plants need. The microbes, fungi, and bacteria become your garden friends and will provide so many benefits many of which you cannot even know until you see it. Benefits such as higher yield, healthier more resilient plants, and super healthy soil. So, it is becoming clear to me, and I hope to you that we need to nurture our soil to start getting the benefits in our gardens.

In this feature from the Isn't Life Curious? podcast, we meet virtually with gardener and author Jeff Lowenfels to discuss the magic that occurs in the microscopic world just beyond our eyes. Jeff just published a new book, Teaming with Bacteria, that unveils the incredible role of the Rhizophagy cycle by which plants act as "ranchers" to tend bacteria, bring them in for shearing, and then send them back to pasture for a time before the process starts again. Jeff explains how plants feed on these bacteria in a mutually beneficial way to get nitrogen and growth hormones while the bacteria get a safe space to exist with minimal competition. But what does all of this mean for the common gardener or farmer? It means we can grow plants in an even smarter, mindful manner that takes advantage of the Rhizophagy cycle to reduce the need for fertilizers and excess inputs! Check out Teaming with Bacteria (as well as the other three books from the "Teaming..." series) from Timber Press: https://www.workman.com/products/teaming-with-bacteria/hardbackLife is a curious thing.

Teaming with bacteria. Now there's a title sure to send the casual gardener to another podcast. But bear with me, please. What if I told you that the future of plant fertilizer was not fertilizer? It will be… bacteria. That's according to Jeff Lowenfels, author of the book, Teaming with Bacteria. Today, America's Favorite Retired College Horticulture professor, Debbie Flower, geeks out on garden science with Jeff, who, for the last 20 years or so, has written other garden books about plant nutrition, microbes and fungus. As you might imagine, Debbie Flower had a wonderful time talking with Jeff. Me? I was busy thinking about buttered popcorn. You'll have to listen to find out why.

On today's episode of Acres U.S.A's Tractor Time sponsored by microBIOMETER, we're going to live under the soil. We want to invite you too. Imagine a world where you could peak under your crops and see and hear what is going on. Where you could look into your flowerpot on your windowsill and see a whole universe of life. What you'd see would not only resemble Times Square, but Times Square Times Times Square times Times Square … or something like that. The cycle of life and the intelligence of nature is fully, and beautifully, at work. We are joined today by Laura Decker, the owner and operator of microBIOMETER, Dr. James White, a professor of plant biology at Rutgers, and Jeff Lowenfels, the author of several books, including a new one, Teaming with Biology. In our conversation, you will hear us try to establish why microbiology is an important topic for all farmers and ranchers today, and then go deep into what we know. How nutrients are brought to plants. How water can be stored. How nature resists some technology we are trying to force into it today. In the end, you'll hear Jeff Lowenfels compare mycorrhizal fungi to the free love concept, we (unofficially) nominate Dr. James White for a Nobel Peace Prize, and Laura Decker talks about the future. Lowenfels is the author of the latest book, Teaming with Bacteria. You can find it, and all of his books, at AcresUSA.com. His entire collection is 30% off right now. Shop here" https://bookstore.acresusa.com/products/teaming-with-book-bundle Dr. White will be speaking in December at the Eco-Ag Conference & Trade Show in Covington, Kentucky. Laura Decker will be there too. So will I. We'll see you there as well. You can register at EcoAg.AcresUSA.com SPONSOR MESSAGE: Improving the health of your soil is essential to increasing your output, but how can you tell if you are making progress? Research shows that microbial biomass — fungi and bacteria — is the leading indicator of soil health. Living soil fixes nutrients, improves plant immunity, stores water more efficiently and builds soil structure, therefore, a healthy level of microbes increases productivity while reducing inputs. There are more microbes in a handful of living soil than there are humans on this planet. We are just now starting to understand how vital the symbiosis is between plants and these microorganisms. microBIOMETER® is a low cost, fast, on-site soil test for microbial biomass and fungal to bacterial ratio that allows you to quickly determine the health of your soil. Order direct at microBIOMETER.com. Frequent retesting provides you with the data necessary to assess your soil management practice.
Our understanding of the soil food web has increased rapidly in the 21st century as microscope technology improves and soil biology research continues, and this opens new doors for gardeners and farmers to employ organic solutions for healthier, more vigorous crops. To explain how soil bacteria play an irreplaceable role in our gardens, my guest this week is gardening columnist and author Jeff Lowenfels.
