Title: The EFA Comments Section Exploded - Ewan Answers everything
The EcoFarm Aotearoa Podcast
In this Q&A episode, Stephen and Ewan respond to listener questions covering soil minerals, silicon availability, nitrogen use, and electrical processes in farming systems. Grounded in observation and on-farm results, the conversation challenges conventional thinking and focuses on what consistently delivers healthier soils, resilient pasture, and better financial outcomes.
From cyanobacteria and mineral activation to fertiliser accountability and system feedback, this episode connects cause and effect across soil, plants, animals, and policy. Rather than reacting to symptoms, the discussion highlights the importance of accuracy, honesty, and addressing limiting factors within the system.
We discuss:
• Why observation and real-world results matter more than theory
• Silicon sources, activation, and the role of biology
• Nitrogen traceability, carbon loss, and diminishing returns
• How weeds and soil softness reveal underlying imbalance
• Reading land correctly to improve function and profitability
This episode is a practical look at how understanding mineral systems, biology, and electrical charge leads to healthier farms and more confident decision-making.
