    A great place to learn about soil/soil science.
    I've listened to approximately 10 podcast episodes to date, and will work my way through all of them. Diego interviews some of the most knowledgeable soil scientists and citizen scientists, asks relevant questions (i.e., how does your knowledge relate to our soil health, human health, excess atmospheric carbon crises?) that reveal and distill the current relevancy of their work. My only complaint: more please!!
  • Pshhyee2
    Amazing soil insights!
    These are dense episodes, but well done and filled with amazing insights into the soil world!
  • 8ix
    Please please please
    Keep more of these! Love an in depth science soil based podcast loved each episode so much already
  • ThrowerDown
    The Best Soil Information
    I absolutely love this podcast. Certainly my favorite. Such great information on Soil Topics. Please keep it up. I would only have one recommendation: I find the in depth, in the weeds conversations regarding soil chemistry just the best. I would love to hear full podcasts on an element/nutrient (silicon, phosphorous, zinc, etc.). Thank you for such a great product.
  • Mekias Solomon
    Very informative and well organized
    Keep it up and would love to see you continue the podcast. Cheers!!
  • Alistair B in Texas
    Great information articulated well
    I’m returning to farm operating after many years and am learning that the old ways are not the good ways! Diego has a great interviewer mind and hosts a diverse, high quality range of professionals that result in compelling content for those interested in regenerative farming. Good for keen gardeners through to industrial scale farmers. Thank you Diego!
  • P Wargo
    Hustling and crushing it!!
    My go-to podcast when wanting to dive deep into the realm of soils. As a market gardener that’s focused on building deep, sustainable soils, you can never have too many plays in your playbook. I’m always taking away something every time I listen and re-listen to Diego’s podcasts. The questions he asks are very thought through and the experts he has on the show are some of the best in their respective fields. Cheers to all the soil needs out there. Thanks so much Diego!!
  • Zukeep
    The best in-depth soil discussions!
    This podcast is best I’ve heard on the subject of soil, the keystone of any healthy garden and ecosystem. I’m a permaculture designer, environmental educator, and ecosystem restorationist. I have listened to basically every related podcast I can find. This one is the best for diving deep with world renowned soil scientists. Diego asks insightful, informed questions that go beyond the surface and gets answers that we can use on, and in the ground. Thanks Diego!
  • Laura5298104
    Loaded with info
    Great information and interviews! Diego Footer asks insightful questions.
  • Panther201
    Good info
    Lots of interesting topics filled with great information
  • joedinn150
    loving the new podcast!
    Been a fan of Diego’s other shows, Farm Small Farm Smart, and Grassfed Life. This is a great new focus, and expertly done. Diego has put a lot of time into this field, and he still has a great way of having conversations with guests in a way that presents accessible information to people all along the spectrum of familiarity. They are also a pleasure to listen to. Thanks Diego!
  • BmwGuy91
    The support we need!!!
    I have finished Diego’s first ten part series and I can’t wait for the next. His guests are always relevant and the information is up to date and accurate! So much so that I use different clips in my AG Ed classes. Thank you so much! Look forward to another set soon!!!!
  • Nlewiscopeland
    Great information
    You give great information, I don’t want it in “clips” please just post the full interview. You are doing 2 podcasts I follow both, but you give a “clip” in one and don’t post the full in the other...
  • charlos1
    Excellent
    As a self taught organic gardener I’ve been hoping for years I was at least going in the right direction. Diego asks excellent questions and the guests he has on are easy to understand. I don’t think I’ve rewound a podcast so many times. I will be re-listening to all of these. Thanks, Diego
  • @nativescapesdesign
    Intense and Skeptical! Love it.
    I've been a listener since year one of Permaculture Voices. D-I-E-G-O is far and away the OG in this space, a seasoned amateur in the grandest sense, one of the greats. His vault of conversations with experts is extensive, guided by a curious mind, and often on point with follow-up questions and professional tone. His newest show is in search of soil, but it's really in search of the truest knowledge to increase productivity and live well in harmony with the earth. Well worth it.
  • Larrysgarden2
    Challenge your beliefs about SOIL!
    This Podcast will get you rethink your current beliefs about BIG AG, and how we SHOULD be treating our soil. Thanks for a wonderful new podcast Diego. I appreciate all the time and effort you have put into this.
  • Phx29er
    Solid - Best gardening related podcast
    Too much content for one listen. You will listen to again and again. Diego does an awesome job interviewing interesting people who have the necessary information to take the world to the next level
  • Lafayette11
    Helpful
    I always look forward to the content put out by Diego Footer. It is easily consumed, continuing education for farms and people that grow food.
  • myonstark
    Top Notch
    I have been listening to Diego for years. He constantly improves and takes his shows to the next level. This new podcast is his best yet. I find myself agreeing with his guests when they say over and over again, “yeah that’s a great question.” Diego please keep asking those great questions!
  • AEAFAN
    Soil
    Good show. How about contacting John Kemph he is A great communicator on regenerative ag. On all levels from market garden to conventional farms. Nutrient density / healthy plants make healthy soil/ Produce crops that are disease an pest resistant/ ways to increase photosynthesis/ food as medicine. Thanks Diego for all you do.
  • dirtydan419
    We are soil farmers
    As we progress towards a resilient agriculture, the need for a holistic picture of soil life and interactions has become critical. Excited to hear more of these conversations and continue learning how to build soil life for nutrient dense produce. Thank you Diego and all involved in the making of this series!
  • Ray the Farmer
    Gold mine of knowledge!
    Diego has done it again. Providing farmers, growers, and gardners with practical information to help us all make the world a better place for all of our children.
  • DanielGreenvilleSC
    Yay soil!
    Finally a podcast all about soil. I am exhausted from having to search the podcast world when trying to learn about soil from so many different sources. I can’t wait to listen each week and learn from the experts themselves!
