pH Power - Mastering Management of Soil Acidity and Alkalinity

pH Power - Mastering Management of Soil Acidity and Alkalinity

Author: Graeme Sait August 11, 2023 Duration: 1:33:19

In this episode, we are set to dive deep into the intricacies of soil pH. What are the mechanics of this soil test parameter? How are plants and soil microbes impacted by acidity and alkalinity? You will discover that this measure of soil health can have a profound impact on crop production and soil health. Additionally, you will learn how to best counter pH extremes to optimise soil productivity. In the Human Health component of the podcast, our focus will remain on the acid/alkaline balance. Here, you will recognise the validity and potential of monitoring urine pH as a guideline for your ongoing health and longevity.


Graeme Sait has spent decades at the forefront of a quiet revolution in agriculture, and in the Nutrition Farming Podcast, he shares that journey in detail. This isn't just theory; it's a deep, practical conversation about how the health of our soil is inextricably linked to the vitality of our crops, the nutrition in our food, and ultimately, the well-being of our communities and planet. Each episode feels like a focused workshop, where Graeme translates complex soil biology and plant nutrition into actionable strategies that farmers and growers can use to improve resilience and profitability on their land. You'll hear a unique perspective that consistently connects the dots between microscopic soil life, intelligent mineral management, and broader ecological and human health outcomes. The discussions are grounded in real-world experience and the latest science, avoiding simplistic solutions in favor of a whole-system understanding. For anyone invested in the land-from producers and agronomists to gardeners and conscious eaters-this podcast provides an essential education in regenerative principles. Tune in for honest, nuanced talks that go far beyond conventional advice, offering a pathway to farming that truly nourishes.
