    Regen Radio - 🪨Beyond Soluble P: Rebuilding Phosphorus with Soft Rock and Microbes.🦠

    Welcome to Ep. 8 of Regen Radio, the podcast where we confront conventional agronomy and champion regenerative solutions that restore soil, revitalize farms, and release abundance. Powered by SoilCraft, our mission is to lead innovation in regenerative agronomy—empowering farmers to grow food that heals both the land and its people. In this episode, we dive into the dirty truth about phosphorus—one of the most essential yet mismanaged nutrients in modern agriculture. 💡 What You’ll Learn: Why phosphate addiction is real—and how years of MAP (mono-ammonium phosphate) may have broken your soil’s biology The overlooked role of phosphorus in energy and microbial function The importance of soil testing methods (Bray, Olsen, Mehlich) and how to interpret them regeneratively Why soft rock phosphate, when supported by biology, can outperform synthetics over time The tragic loss of legacy phosphorus in dead soils—and how to unlock it without spending more How mycorrhizal fungi disengage when synthetic P is overused A balanced approach to transitional phosphorus programs using both short- and long-release strategies 🔥 Key Insights: “It’s like discovering a hidden bank account in your soil.” “You might be paying for MAP every year while losing calcium, biology, and long-term availability.” “We raised phosphorus levels without applying any phosphorus—just biology.” 🌿 Whether you're in row crops, specialty crops, or soil restoration, this episode will challenge you to rethink phosphorus, availability, and your relationship with your soil’s microbial bank. 👇 Engage & Regenerate: 🌍 Learn more at SoilCraft.com 📺 Subscribe for more Regen Radio episodes 💬 Share your thoughts in the comments or tell us what you'd like us to unpack next

    Regen Radio - 🌱♻️ In Defense of Compost 🌾

    Last week on Regen Radio, we threw compost under the bus—backed over it a few times—and left a few folks wondering: “Do these guys even like compost?” This week, Denver and Craig set the record straight. We love compost—but only when it’s used for what it’s truly good at. 👉 Compost isn’t your bulk nitrogen source. But it IS: A microbial powerhouse 💥 A carbon-rich soil amendment 🌿 A tool for increasing water-holding capacity 💧 A way to revive tired soils and restore communication underground 🪱 Perfect for nurseries, drip lines, and as a base for vermicast teas 🌱 They dive deep into the real economics of composting: 📊 Why bulk spreading is expensive and high-emission ♻️ How using compost as an inoculant or for sheet composting can transform your fields 🔥 The surprising half-lives of urea vs. compost 🌍 Why on-farm compost production beats hauling it in 🐄 And why livestock and trees may hold the ultimate key to soil regeneration Craig even shares how he uses Johnson-Su compost for seed inoculation and fertigation—priming his soil biology without the massive carbon footprint. 💡 “The problem isn’t compost—it’s how we’ve been using it.” Whether you’re all-in on organics, swear by synthetics, or are somewhere in between, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on building life in your soils… without falling for the pitfalls of dogma. 🎧 Tune in and rethink how compost fits into regenerative systems. 📌 Don’t forget to subscribe for more Regen Radio insights! 🌐 Learn more: https://soilcraft.com 💬 Got thoughts on compost?

    Regen Radio - The Law of Unintended Consequences ⚠️ 🔄 🧨

    🎙️ Regen Radio Podcast EP.4 — The Law of Unintended Consequences This week on Regen Radio, Craig Harding and Denver Black tackle one of the most quietly devastating forces in modern agriculture: the law of unintended consequences. What if the very tools we use to fix a problem — fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides — are creating bigger issues downstream? From caterpillars colonizing amaranth to fall armyworms striking on cue, the guys unpack the biological backfire that comes from applying nitrogen too early or spraying herbicides with hidden side effects. You’ll hear real-world examples of MOP (muriate of potash) gone wrong, how a seemingly helpful input can trigger pest explosions, and why certain inputs are acting more like biological landmines than solutions. But it’s not all doom and gloom. They dive into: 🌿 How carbon balancing reduces pest pressure 🧬 Why calcium and sulfur might be your secret weapons 🔥 What happens when you stop using fungicides—and don't get disease 🌱 Why the answer is rarely "more input," but often "smarter biology" The message? You're not crazy—you're just caught in a system where symptoms pile up because the causes are overlooked. But you don’t have to stay there. 📩 Share your own stories of unintended consequences in the comments or email us directly. Let’s learn from our mistakes—and each other. 📡 Subscribe to stay updated with Regen Radio, where every week we break down what’s happening in regenerative agronomy, one conversation at a time. 👇 Connect with Soilcraft 👇 🌐 www.soilcraft.com 📧 denver@soilcraft.com 📍 Based in Yakima Valley, WA + Zambia
