Soil Food Web - and Nature's Soil

Michael Martin Meléndrez takes us on a walk in a wonderful forest of relic Sugar Maples found on a mountain near his nursery and tree farm in New Mexico. He explains the concept of the sites soil building process and how that relates to us in the venues of landscaping and Permaculture, helping us understand the science and the amazement of nature's soil. Michael has a long history of restoring soils and planting trees as that has been his life's work since he was a young boy and today he owns a large tree production nursery and farm that grows and plants trees across the Southwest. Michael is also well known for his coining the phrase and writing the first paper ever on the Soil Food Web titled 'Soil Ecology and the Soil Food Web' in 1974.




This is a must watch video clip for all of us to understand nature's soil building process.

New Mexico has a greater percentage of its total area covered by forest than any western state. It also has the highest average elevation of any state as much of the state is covered with large mountains including the largest National Forest and the largest Wilderness area in the continental United States, the Gila National Forest and Wilderness.
