Blue cornflower is centaurea cyanus is a common weed in cereal crops (hence its name). I use it a lot in cover crop mixes. Here in north German it is also winter hard. It's not small though. It's a tall deep rooted herb.

Hey Kieth, casually mention to your neighbor that anhydrous ammonia was used in WWII to harden dirt runways so bombers could land on them without sinking in! Why transport a dangerous material thousands of miles past submarines and dive bombers in the teeth of a world wide transport shortage? It hardens dirt better than anything else.

Excellent insights gentleman. Particularly appreciate your seed treating with worm juice. Thank you both so much!!

Thanks for your great post.

Great talk!

Hi! It is somewhat commoting to discover that plants are so sensitive and intelligent. Thank you again!

Hi John Kempf! This is a great topic! How to plan a farm considering this communication web? What signals to monitor? Greetings from South America

Interesting spacing on the wheat planting

I’ve had the same thought on flooding with the Umatilla River. We’ve lost the water infiltration in the Blue mountains and foothills and now we have this

How is this material made or produced?

For anyone wondering the seed saving presentation mentioned can be found as "How and why we save seeds - John Kempf" on the channel Sustainable Development Solutions. I'm one of those people who follows John into the far corners of the internet. 😂

You may also figure out that what you've done/are doing is better than what everyone else has told you to do. Every context is different and maybe they don't know everything - even the experts - even the regen experts. Keep trying things that make sense in your context, you'll be surprised what you'll come up with. Also, nature/weather is not static from year to year. What worked last year may not work this year. I am constantly surprised that every year some (different) plants yield spectacular results and others (with previous success) just fail. Often, I had made some minor (laziness) or major (experimental) tweak and that was all it took. The smallest details matter sometimes.

Where in Oregon is this? Ion?

Makes sense are you/sure. Dennis

This got me going as a manager that worries about invasive perennials such as smooth brome, cedars/junipers, old world bluestem. They seem to be a giant highly tuned and trained network to mitigate something we've done on a landscape level. We fight these increasers back with grazing, fire, and mechanical disturbance to try and develop more "diverse and resilient habitats" we never get them all though. So those neurological links we missed that remain below ground will continue to learn around our "management" and migrate wherever they see themselves needed? Maybe we need to let the invasion happen?!

"The expert model is broken" - Nick Mahmood (because experts can be corrupted with sex, drugs, money) 🙂

Before our current schlock Internet, we connected to the MICROBIAL Internet: this is one reason why Reiki healing works 🙂

"intention" = listening to our MICROBES & then doing what they tell us to do because the microbes build us each for a reason & we all POPPED up in this garden like our plants do :-) "intention" = We hear the microbes & we do what the microbes ask us to do = intuition = instinct 🙂

"As long as we're growing from seed we'll be Ok" - Nick Mahmood (because we'll be Growing food as medicine & Growing plants as medicine "chemical free" = our EXISTENTIAL Activities & one reason we are here in this mortal life) 🙂

"spiritual" spoken can mean "microbial" :-) Yeshua, for example, was a "chemical free" Natural Farmer 🙂 The greater the variety of plants in our gardens, the greater the variety of MICROBES :-) Animism & Shintoism: a microbe behind every molecule 🙂

In other words, connect to the MICROBIAL INTERNET with botanical medicines grown by MICROBES because the MICROBES are God/Allah/The Buddha/Mother Nature/Mother Earth 🙂

18:30 "Plants don't have kidneys" must be my favourite out of context quote

Very interesting. We have lots of changes in the wild plants growing here this year. Lots of chicory and lots of purslane, fennel, dandelions we usually always get these but more this year, and red fescue and some other grasses. Lots of onion grass. We have less nettles, lambs quater etc but they are still present too but the amount of purslane is off the scale this year. Its delicious so not a problem and it grows low so is covering the soil from the baking UV. This podcast goes someway to helping me understand why we have these changes. Its.been a drought year so makes sense there are more deep rooting plants

What I wouldn't give to have been part of the group at the farm that day!

Excellent topic. I hope you have more videos about it.

Reminds me of 'Fertility Farming - Newman Turner -- 1951'. Which introduced the idea of weeds as a cover crop, now there's a topic for John Kempf "Weeds The Ideal Cover Crop" 🙂

Plant consciousness & intelligence like with humans is MICROBIAL 🙂 "intention" is listening to what the microbes tell us what to do 🙂 "What a plant knows" explains how plants are SENTIENT BEINGS if we do NOT use chemicals to grow them: chemicals turn plants into drugged addicted slaves 😞

So nice to see this subject get more airing. I discovered plants were intelligent - far more intelligent than humans - as a small child more years ago than I care to count and as a result have always gone to them for advice instead of people. It’s perfectly possible to engage in telepathic conversations with them. I have learned infinitely more about the workings of Life, the Universe and Everything from trees than anything I learned studying biology at university, most of which doesn’t even examine the fundamental question of what Life IS. It really is astounding what a stupid blinkered and hubristic species we are!

I saw the movie Avatar. I was so excited to realise that somebody else could see that everything is connected. Here is further knowledge of this. If only we could communicate better with all other life forms. I see in my garden that plants respond positively to my good intentions toward them, versus no thought given at all.

I love her 🤩

Many don’t realize that humans contain the same mycorrhizal fungal network that trees contain (see the work of Paul Stamets). It’s truly incredible the feeling of connectivity I feel when walking my property when I send the energy and intention and receive it in turn.

Sounds like Avatar. I like it.

The final quote is very powerful.

Like to go to a party with a bunch of Aspens and Redwoods. I’m totally serious. Wish I could talk with them.

Every time I listen to these podcasts, I learn something new. Every day, I grow closer to my garden as I witness the subtle changes. The things mentioned in this podcast were things I already knew in my gut. Perhaps it was my gut biome that was speaking to me.

Steven Buhner’s great. His book on Lyme helped me beat Lyme.

Mind blown. 🤯

The plant helps me and I help the plant and I do have conversations with them 😊

This is such a great topic. Love that the man who works to get evidence for everything is going into the edges of science for this.

🥩All That Borrow Life Poses Consciousness🥚 🕊

Wonderful.

Thank you always John for everything and for that beautiful speaking voice!

Привет Джон!

Great topic

A pioneer tree is a little different from a keystone speciea. A pioneer tree helps both above and below ground in significant ways. Above it provides fodder for livestock, as well as seeds/leaves for both people and to sustain larger animals. It may provide additional wind protection and also thorns to prevent over harvesting. It can develop deep, persistent roots that break up hardpan soil and allow water to penetrate deeper, and to get water as well as create deep carbon pathways into the soil. It is a nitrogen-fixer and thus feeds/encourages other plant life. It has a low allelopathic tendency, too. It forms relationships mycelium that function to move moisture and nutrients closer to the surface. It can be an introduced plant. A keystone species can be plant or animal that *a particular biome* is dependent on for general continued function. It's the thing that helps all the landrace plants and animals need to keep their unique relationships...

I seem to remember in the Dr. James White episode that he mentioned an issue with TOO MUCH carbon, and that though it increased photosynthesis, sometimes it caused a deficiency? Up until this point, I would have considered that contradictory. Are there times when we can see increased photosynthesis (I assume because we measure leaf brix regularly) but also an increase of problems in the plant? This benefit of diversity is something that is not well understood in much of the permaculture crowd. I think we need findings like those of Dr. Jones to go deeper! Thanks, -Kat

Well deserved retirement for Dr. Christine Jones!
