Regen Ag School 2026 071 | Why Some Falls Burn Red Leaf Colors

43 views · 2d ago · 12:27

Why do some autumns explode in red while others just fade to brown? It’s not just “the weather.” It’s a precise biochemical gamble trees make every fall — breaking down chlorophyll, unmasking carotenoids, and manufacturing anthocyanins as molecular sunscreen.

Topics: The four pigments that matter · Chlorophyll breakdown & nutrient reclamation · The weather recipe for spectacular reds · What kills the reds (warm nights, clouds, frost, rain) · Why some years are yellow, orange, or red · The anthocyanin mystery — why bother?

Regen Ag School 2026-070 | Three Years from Bulbil to Adapted Garlic

294 views · 4d ago · 6:49

Planting garlic on October 21st, 2026, right where the sweet potatoes came out. The soil was full of worms and loose aggregate — exactly what a fungal crop needs. In this video we cover the full process: why we only work compost into the top 4–6 inches, how clove selection is a breeding program, the soil-temperature window that actually matters (low 50s at two inches), and the three-year path from a missed scape’s bulbils to regionally adapted garlic.

Topics: Planting where the sweet potatoes came out · Compost only in the aerobic zone · Clove selection as breeding · Soil temperature, not the calendar · Missed scapes and bulbils · Clones with different epigenetic tags

Regen Ag School 2026 069 I Planted Potatoes And Grew Soil Instead

635 views · 1w ago · 7:21

Regen Ag School 2026-069 I planted potatoes and grew soil instead. Last week I dug the potato block. The potatoes were basically a bust. A few here and there. Nothing worth talking about. The weeds won. But when I walked out there, I wasn’t discouraged.

Regen Ag School 2026 068 | Terminal Frost, Cover Crop, And The First Harvest Dig

348 views · 1w ago · 24:15

October 7. A full terminating frost. Jalapeños, turmeric, peppers, and tomatoes show it. Cabbages stand. The foliar that was meant for everything goes on the cabbages instead, heavy, then a root-zone drench. They were due. Pressure of keeping crops running comes off. Next work is cover crop seed and tucking the soil in for the next couple of years.

Topics: October 7 — terminating frost · Foliar pivots to the cabbages · October 12 — cover crop and deer on clover · Nectar frames set out for the colonies · Apiary check and entrance reducers · 92 lb of seed, rain set

Regen Ag School 2026-067 | Closing the Bee Season — Consolidation, Formic, and Winter Readiness

501 views · 2w ago · 8:24

Regen Ag School 2026-067 Closing the bee season. Last major intervention before a Hudson Valley winter. Five colonies consolidated to winter configuration. Honey stores assessed. Final call on who is ready for March and who needs help. This is the job that decides whether a colony sees spring or starves in February.

Regen Ag School 2026 066 | Breaking Clay For Crops And Septics

309 views · 2w ago · 27:52

Regen Ag School 2026-066 It rings like a clay pot. Field half of 2026-063. That episode was the plan. This one is the ground. October. Bt on the cabbages. Cooler nights. Rain on the way. Good germination weather, and the block still will not hold water. Hard on the ends. Some of it will not grow a weed.

Regen Ag School 2026 065 | Repotting Citrus For Better Health

238 views · 3w ago · 4:31

Regen Ag School 2026-065 Repotting citrus for better health. Consolidating down for the lab this year, so spring has something to ramp from. The Meyer lemon, the blood orange, and the mandarin have been through several rough seasons in soil that was too heavy, and then the cat got into the pots. That soil gets thrown out. If it is coming out anyway, it gets replaced with a mix that citrus can actually live in.

Topics: Consolidating down for the lab · Why the old citrus soil had to go · Fieldlark mix: perlite, pine bark, kelp, castings · First root ball out · Meyer lemon, root ball smaller than the pot · The 2018 greenhouse planter

Regen Ag School 2026 064 | Keeping The Pepper Account Active

111 views · 3w ago · 9:59

Regen Ag School 2026-064 Keeping the pepper account active. Saturday, October 3. Late afternoon on the block. Two pepper plants selected for branching, stem, and health, dug as root balls, and taken to the lab so the genetics that already proved themselves go into next year as mature plants, not seed.

Regen Ag School 2026-063 | The Year the Soil Spoke

232 views · 3w ago · 9:42

Regen Ag School 2026-063 The year the soil spoke. We came into 2026 with a plan. Eighty-eight heirloom tomatoes. One hundred sixty peppers. Cabbages, sweet corn, jalapeños, sweet potatoes, turmeric. Thirteen thousand five hundred square feet of Hudson Valley clay. A foliar program. Drench recipes. Biological inoculants.

The Side Effects of Regenerative Ag

The Side Effects of Regenerative Ag One of them is this. The deer look healthy, they are grazing the plot, and they are not leaving. I talk through the habits while they stand there. Yelling does not move them. Waving does not move them. They wait until I actually pursue them.

Regen Ag School 2026-062 | Formic Acid Off — What the Double Dose Taught Me

110 views · 1mo ago · 14:54

Regen Ag School 2026-062 Formic off. One colony got four strips instead of two. Fourteen days after application. Removal day. Five hives. One mistake I did not see until the strips came off. Formic vapor reaches mites under the cappings. That is why it works. That is also why the dose is not a suggestion.

Topics: Removal day · Why formic timing matters · How the strips come off · The hive that got four · Queenright, thinner · Precision. Two strips.

Regen Ag School 2026-061 | The Hidden Bottleneck — Soil Moisture & the 2027 Fix

259 views · 1mo ago · 11:08

Regen Ag School 2026-061 The hidden bottleneck. Nutrition was landing. Biology was responding. Then it rained — a real soaking rain and the whole farm stood up. Cabbages darkened. Tomatoes straightened. Peppers flushed. The program was not wrong. The platform was dry.

Topics: Rain changed the farm · Moisture is the platform · Stomata and abscisic acid · The water film and nutrient flow · Dry soil, sleeping biology · North-end Romas — nutrition works

Regen Ag School 2026-060 | Plant Health Pyramid — From Cabbage Worms to Level 4

132 views · 1mo ago · 5:56

Regen Ag School Feed the plant. The pest list shrinks. Not overnight. A staircase. Level 1 — complete photosynthesis. Enough energy to grow. Leaf is still a salad bar. Cabbage worms, aphids, flea beetles treat it as food.

Topics: Feed the plant · The cabbage patch · Level 1 · Level 2 · Surplus energy and the cuticle · Where we are — Brix 8–10

Regen Ag School 2026-059 | Late-Season Nutrition Push — Calcium, Potassium & the September Window

258 views · 1mo ago · 5:02

Regen Ag School 2026-059 Late-season nutrition push. Leaf Brix 8–10. Fruit Brix 5. The canopy is working. The sugar is not finishing the trip. Potassium is the shuttle. Oldest leaves yellowing and browning — the plant is stripping K from the lower canopy to feed fruit. We left K out of the last foliar. The plants said so.

Topics: Late-summer window · Leaf 8–10, fruit 5 · Potassium on the oldest leaves · Tank rebuild + K · Clover foliar for the bees · Rain into the root zone

Regen Ag School 2026-058 | The Soil Writes the Food — Why This Produce Is Different

223 views · 1mo ago · 6:50

Regen Ag School 2026-058 Why this produce is different. A tomato is a record of the soil it grew in. Minerals, biology, sunlight — flavor, texture, shelf life, density. Grocery Brix on a field tomato can sit around 4. Ordinary organic often around 6. These fruit, on a full biological program, run into double digits. That is not just sugar. Esters, volatiles, mineral finish.
