SOIL HEALTH PRINCIPLES

       Over time I have viewed a lot of video around and about soil health.  Occasionally you run across a jewel.  Recently I came across the 'Merit or Myth series'.  These are a series of short videos (≈3min each) produced in South Dakota through cooperation between ARS-USDA, various researchers, and growers around the state.   < Merit and Myth website >     
       These videos do a good job of explaining what goes into improving soil health.  This series is also a good introduction to Dr. Elaine Ingham's, 'The Soil Food Web', --the need for improving the biology of the soil.  Her video links can be found at: < Dr. Ingham's video link >  Some of the venues are hard to hear.
      These videos are compelling discussions on principals of no-till and soil health, but they don't tell us how to apply them in the Palouse.  The Principles are sound, but we have to figure out how to apply them in our climate conditions.
