Soil Structure

Image
Soil Structure - Sand, Silt, and Clay are defined by their particle size Bacteria and Fungi (B&F) break down Parent Material (rocks & pebbles, etc.) into smaller and smaller particles, resulting in sand, silt, and clay particles. They do this so they can extract the nutrients they need, e.g. Iron, Boron, Magnesium, etc., by producing enzymes; acidic (Fungi) or alkaline (Bacteria) which enable them to deconstruct the crystalline structure of the parent materials and that of the sands, silts, and clays. This process releases nutrients that are absorbed by B&F, which are then on their way to becoming available to plants (plant-available nutrients). Soil results in clean water; dirt results in problems  Thank you for reading.

Two Definitions of soil?

Two Definitions of soil?  As defined by Hans Jenny, the Father of Soil Science:   1. Mineral: Sand, silt, clay - All minerals properly balanced  2. Organic matter 3. (Aerobic) Organisms --- As defined by the “Green Revolution” and scientists trained by the chemical industry:   1. Mineral: Sand, silt, clay - All minerals properly balanced 2. Inorganic, soluble, minerals (NPK) must be added to this ‘inert support matrix’ to supply plants with nutrients --- Conclusion: The corporates have altered the definition of soil.  Thank you for reading.

In olden days, the ayurveda was taught from guru to the deciple, The students needed to graze cows in the forest where they practically learned about the herbs. The cows (native indian cows, bos indicus) used to also graze herbs from the forest. The milk was used to produce grithams (medicated ghee) which was further used by the vaidya to heal the paitents. Other cow grazers used to sell these forest herbs to the vaidyas. The cows in return used to manure the forest soil with their dung and urine while grazing.  This unique bondage between the forest-cow-vaidya-paitent was broken across India over the years by the different governments by imposing bans on the cattle grazing in forests with the view of betterment for the wildlife.  Farmers on the other hand started adopting jersy cows (bos taurus) , the white revolution, as they found it ecnomically viable due to high milk (low nutrition) production. Moreover these cows dont nee...
