  • Soil science and hope

    Iโ€™ve had Jesse in my ear for the last year, and Iโ€™m so grateful. I came for the farming advice, and Iโ€™ve stayed for his incredible attention to what else is possible in a country hellbent on destroying its natural resources.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is it Bad to Water Plants On a Hot Day? + When is a Bed Dead?
Q: Would iodine addition to lasagna-style beds be beneficial for nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, or is this largely unknown and potentially risky?
It's largely speculative and would require controlled trials; iodine is a micronutrient with uncertain effects in this setup, with potential benefits or negative interactions depending on crop and soil context; running small side-by-side trials is a prudent approach.
Is it Bad to Water Plants On a Hot Day? + When is a Bed Dead?
Q: Is there a convincing way to explain why watering in the heat is not inherently bad, and under what conditions might it be beneficial?
Evaporative loss is a concern, but when water is abundant and soil is dry, cooling the plant and soil helps maintain photosynthesis; in hot climates, morning and evening watering is often most effective, with partial shading and cover crops to protect soil moisture.
Is it Bad to Water Plants On a Hot Day? + When is a Bed Dead?
Q: The best way to learn is to teach, right? So how should I answer this question about watering when it is hot and sunny, especially in a high-heat climate like this?
Water when the plants can most efficiently take it up, typically in the cooler parts of the day, and use careful irrigation to saturate soil without encouraging leaf wetness that fosters disease; adjust timing based on climate and crop tolerance and consider short, spaced misting sessions rather than constant irrigation.
Demystifying Vasectomies (Yes, Vasectomies!) + What About the Stuff Growing on My Soil Blocks?
Q: how can I discourage mold growth on fresh soil blocks?
The host explains that ventilation is key, avoid over-moist environments, consider bottom watering to limit surface moisture, using a fan placed above the trays (not directly on the blocks) to dry surfaces, and occasional direct sun to reduce mold growth; also scraping thin layers of algae if necessary and ensuring some airflow helps prevent damping-off risks.
Making Sense of Farmers Markets + Scape Season
Q: What are the practical positives of selling at farmers markets, and how does it fit with other outlets like a CSA?
Markets can be low-stress with flexible commitment, often offering higher per-unit prices and opportunities to reach new customers; they can complement ongoing outlets like a CSA by shifting products in weeks where a certain crop is abundant, thus supporting overall marketing strategy.
