I did all that in five years, you know? Um [laughs], not really.
2:48
Um, yeah, no, thank you very much.

Um, I will be leaving very, very soon, but, uh, yeah, we'll, uh, we'll be back at some stage when, uh-

He was supposed to be in from one, but nevermind.
3:11
That's all right.

Phosphorus.
18:09
Phosphorus.Um, and the reason for that is, so with our soils being...
18:15
Well, if you look at our beaches in Australia, we've got great beaches, and that is because millions and millions of years of erosion have taken off that really, really good high-quality topsoil that, uh, a lot of the world have, and our natives have adapted to, uh, to cope with that.
18:30
Um, so if you give them a lot of phosphorus, um, it will not end well for your natives.
18:37
Um, it's why the farmers use super phosphates on all their crops and paddocks and everything like that because our soils are depleted.

19:44
Now, what they've managed to do is capture those little bugs, and they, uh, they put it into a form of stasis, so it goes to sleep, um, by reducing the pH and things like that, and then when you add this to water, the water then brings them back to life.
