> Hi all!
> Since I mentioned to my e-mail to Dr.. Elaine Ingham about the culture of
> indigenous microorganisms for agriculture, a lot of people have e-mailed me
> on the booklet.  I am then posting the details on this booklet:
>
> Technology of Culturing Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms and
> Bionutrients for use in Agricultural Crops and Livestock
>
> Last January 23, 2003 Gil Carandang of Herbana Farms, a leading organic and
> natural farming advocate from the Philipines and who recently completed
> Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture at the University  of California
> Santa Cruz, had just conducted a workshop on Indigenous Microorganism:  
> Grow
> Your Own at the annual Ecological Farming Conference in Asilomar (Monterey,
> California) on full-packed crowd.
>
> Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO):  Grow Your Own
> The recent interest in building microorganism populations for fertility and
> pathogen control has given many farmers food for thought.  Compost teas are
> now becoming extremely high in concentrations of beneficial microorganisms.
> This interest is not so new in Asian countries, however, where "Nature
> Farming" and "Effective Microorganisms" or EM Technology has been popular
> for years.  Buying starter cultures of beneficiaal microorganisms can be
> expensive for farmers.  Now a relatively new movement is empowering farmers
> with knowledge about culturing, increasing and applying local or
> "indigenous" on-farm beneficial microorganisms.  Learn the basic theory and
> techniques for growing these farming companions to help increase yields and
> reduce problems.
>
> "The best workshop I had in 18 years!"

>  Camp Joy Gardens
>  Boulder Creek, California
>
> Learn to culture Lacto Bacilli, the workhorse of the beneficial indigenous
> microorganisms.  Lacto Bacilli arrest foul odors and improve digestion,
> nutrient intake.
> -Forest microorganism.  Culture diversed, powerful beneficial indigenous
> microorganisms from the forest and apply them to your garden and farm and
> improve soil fertility.
> -Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms produce enzymes and natural 
> antibiotic
> that control pathogens like e. coli and salmonella.
> -Bionutrients.  Fermented plant extracts to improve soil fertilty, control
> pests and diseases, increase microbial diversity and ecology.
>
> Did you know that you can gather plants in your farm and use them as
> fermented extracts to improve plant growth serving as natural growth
> promotants?
> ... and many more!
>
> The booklet on this amazing natural farming technology is now available.
> You can organize your own workshop to learn this Asian Natural Farming
> technology empowering farmers, self-generating their own inputs through the
> culture of these Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms and Bionutrients.
