Helen and Hugo discuss the importance of ground cover in regenerative farming, the role of sunlight in photosynthesis and transpiration, and the significance of soil health for sustainable farming. They also explore the use of compost and other soil-based carbon capture solutions, the impact of carbon levels in soil, and the role of livestock in this process. Towards the end, they focus on strategies for managing and reducing the use of chemicals in farming, promoting soil recovery through natural methods. See the transcript for full details.

How effective is Contact Organics compared to toxic chemical herbicides such as Roundup?
Contact Organics’ Weed Terminator product is a highly effective bioherbicide that kills weeds through desiccation. It dries them out like a hot summer day. It is a contact herbicide that acts very fast. If you spray a weed on a sunny, warm spring day, you will see the results within an hour.

Weed Terminator is used in very large horticultural and vineyard operations. We conducted a two-year study that showed that our product is as effective as chemical herbicides.
