Title: Re: Holmgren Collected Writings
Hoping to get a usefully rollicking discussion
going here...
I'm sorta working with a nursery in the area
(Hawaii) that is staffed by a pretty traditional crowd but is owned and run by a
guy who's willing to try new things. So far, I'm turning the cuttings, etc
into compost, trying to phase out vermiculite for the (locally available)
cinder, brewing compost tea, etc.
I've heard, mostly through anecdotes and
biodynamics texts, that silica is an effective remedy for mildew & fungus
diseases. Currently, the nursery is using some sorta biocide spray for
this (we're on the wet side of the island). When the ironwood discussion
came up, Robyn posted a quick and simply ironwood tea recipe for fungal
spray. This would be cool, cheap, local, etc but I need some sorta
reference to back up these claims. Does anyone know of any studies,
reports, books, etc to that effect?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Elijah
