Charlie Clutterbuck, great name,  on Gardeners World talk about soil life, and a quick easy way to check the life in the soil.

Following on from my post about how I think rewilding is starting at the wrong end of the food chain I thought I would add a bit more information about soil life from someone who actually knows what he is talking about.

A Much more detailed presentation on soil life from Charlie Clutterbuck at the Sheffield Wheat Project conference.

 

Charlie Clutterbuck, well really Dr Charlie Citterbuck is also the author of Bittersweet Brexit The Farming, Land and Labour published by Pluto Books. You can read the first part here Bittersweet Brexit

“When we voted, there was virtually no discussion about how leaving
the EU would change what and how we eat, or indeed much else. Yet, the
changes will affect virtually every part of the food and farm chain. Our
exit will change how much we pay for food, who works the soil, what we
eat, how our land is used, and most importantly, where we get our food
from. It won’t just be a matter of losing the directives, changing the laws,
deciding what we do about tariffs, but more a matter of who we want to be,”
