Yes to whatever Alan Savory, Gabe Brown, et al, says about the importance of hoofed animals.

I know there is a change to pasture grass about June 21 when it switches from growing to thickening, so makes sense there’d be more liquid carbon put in soils after that. Healthy grass depends on healthy soils with mycorrhizal fungi getting plants everything it needs. Nematodes are the most numerous animals that provide bacteria nitrogen to fix. An application of fertilizer kills nematodes. One application of Roundup kills about a quarter of the mycorrhizae. An application of pesticide can harm many of the 72 million insects found in an acre of soil. Dead insects have been found to return to the soil 70% of the nitrogen used by grass (helped by nematodes). So it is imperative that lawn owners stop spending on lawn care and let nature go to work for us all.

They don’t want to be told what has been done was wrong. So instead I explain the merits of 100% slow release fertilizer. These are coated pellets that dissolve slowly over many months only when growing conditions are adequate (not too dry, not too cold). Only one half pound per thousand square feet is recommended instead of the five applications of one pound per thousand square feet of lawn of the fast-release, as stated on fertilizer bags. People are happy to defer to new technology, slow-release fertilizer, rather than rely on nature.

When lawn grass is stimulated it grows more and to get what it needs pumps more liquid carbon into the ground. If you want to fight climate change walk-on the grass, have a picnic, cut it or let it be grazed by rabbits and larger animals. Better to replace an impervious patio with lawn grass turf than to change your gasoline car for a hybrid or electric car. (because carbon at 400 ppm is only 0.04% of the greenhouse gasses while water vapor is 95%, as you know from Christine Jones.)
