REthinking Waste - From Recycling to Resources · S2 Ep 22 - George St Orchard - Rory Harding · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

Wa I think once you understand how plants grow in like in the fundamental sense they are building themselves out of thin air.

um carbon from the atmosphere and like when we harvest a um uh creative Vejo's for example, most of that is carbon and water.

So there are nutrients that come out, but we can put them put them back in by composting those skins.

Um so yeah, I g I think it's a different uh the the well the main way you can deplete soil is by tilling it.

And then oxidizing the organic matter and

Going back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

And so No, you needn't do that in a in an orchard and

Yeah, I think if you it in a

The difference to say conventional h um horticultural fruit growing would be single species of tree, herbicide strip underneath it.

So you're not using that um

like derivative sunlight to um capture more carbon and yeah, every different plant that you grow is pumping out a different array of liquid carbon exudates into the soil to um specifically to to curate a a range of microbiology that's gonna work for that plant.

Yeah.

So yeah, I think in there's there's um strength in numbers there and

Yeah, we um replenish the soil by well the living mulch of course, but then all the pronines, um, as much as possible, um, just stay where they grew or around where they grew.

Mm-hmm.

Or we put them to a chipper and bring them back.

Yep.

And um yeah, feeding the soil through homemade compost.

Mm-hmm.
