What if everything you’ve been told about soil compaction is only half the story?

In this episode of Regen Radio, Denver Black and farmer Craig Harding tackle one of agriculture’s most assumed villains: compaction. From deep ripping to gypsum applications, we unpack whether the problem is really physical—or if it's chemical, biological, or even electromagnetic.

💥 Hear why:

Cover crops may outperform ripping over time
Compaction might just be an emergent property of poor chemistry
Biological tools like LAB, worm teas, and soil amendments shift the entire paradigm
Water treatment tech like the Rainbox AOP system is unlocking structure without steel
We challenge the dogma around tillage, and explore real-world data comparing mechanical versus biological intervention on clay and sandy soils—including stunning results from banana fields and wheat pivots in Zambia.

🔥 Plus: Discover how weeds like amaranth might be nature’s way of punching through the lie of compaction.

👉 Don’t miss this conversation if you’ve ever questioned the return on diesel, the need to rip every season, or whether you're just fighting symptoms with steel.
