*Welcome to Episode 9 of Series 3 of the “How to Do It”* *video series with Graeme Sait!*
This week’s episode offers a deep dive into the *nuts and bolts of soil testing and interpretation* , framed through the unique lens of *Soil Therapy™* — Graeme’s trademark approach that transforms growers into empowered decision-makers.
*Forget the old mindset of just adding inputs.* In this episode, Graeme unpacks the *critical thinking required to truly understand soil health* , explaining why your soil is your *most valuable business asset* . You'll discover why knowledge, rather than just product use, becomes your *ultimate power tool* on the path to greater profitability and resilience.
We explore *key elements often overlooked* in conventional soil tests, such as *chloride, cobalt, selenium, and silicon* — nutrients with profound implications for *crop performance* , *animal health* , and *soil function* . Learn why *chloride is rarely deficient near coastal zones* , and how an excess can hinder potassium uptake and cause toxicity. Graeme also demystifies the often-neglected role of *selenium and cobalt* in animal vitality, and why *silicon* may be the secret weapon for plant strength and disease resistance.
Throughout the episode, Graeme blends *practical field wisdom* with *cutting-edge agronomic science.* He explains how to read between the lines of a soil test and *ask the right questions* — arming you with *real-world strategies* for more balanced nutrition and greater farm performance.
*If you’ve ever wondered why some inputs work miracles on one farm but not the next* , or *why some animals flourish while others falter* , this foundational knowledge may be the missing link.
This is more than a video — it’s a *masterclass in nutrient stewardship.*
*Take notes, share it with fellow growers, and revisit this episode often — because knowledge is not just power… it's profit.*
