permaculture

["Frances and David" <fdnokes@hotmail.com>]

I thought perhaps it might be a good idea to share something from the other 
side of the picture... Non-vegetarianism.
Coincidentally, or shall I say, synchronistically? I just happened to receive 
this particular link.
This blog is written by a young man who has taught himself to live in the 
wild.

P.S. Have read that many horrors have occurred in the name of producing more 
tofu.  Biome and habitat destruction, and more.  Not a respectful activity 
when it involved culling the local people!

I would say so if you are familiar with making compost tea. As I
understand it you have fungal dominated compost and bacteria dominated
compost; fungal starter sourced from forests and bacterial starter
sourced from fields. Aerate the soil, apply compost, control moisture
levels.

For good answers subscribe to the list:
compost_tea · Compost Teas, The Soil Food Web & Soils
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/compost_tea/
"This list is for the discussion and dissemination of information
primarily about modern compost teas, compost tea making and related
topics such as composts, compost extracts, the workings of the soil food
web and soil microbiology as applied to gardening and agriculture. It is
a moderated list so when discussions get too far from the main subject
the moderator will step in. Polite interactions are a must at all times.
Rudeness and disrespect can result in immediate banishment. It is highly
suggested that you buy and read Timber Press' "Teaming With Microbes: A
Gardener's Guide to The Soil Food Web" by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis
(with a preface by Dr. Elaine Ingham), available from Amazon.com. It
explains the soil food web in lay and fun terms. In addition, you should
review materials available from Soil Food Web, Inc at
www.soilfoodweb.com, particularly the Compost Tea Manual. Finally, if
you would like to see pictures of compost tea organisms, good tea and
more, check out http://www.microbeorganics.com/ and order the CD when
you are finished."

and read the very excellent book (get the latest edition, well worth
having in your library): "TEAMING WITH MICROBES: THE ORGANIC GARDENER'S
GUIDE TO THE SOIL FOOD WEB" by Jeff Lowenfels and any information you
can get from Soil Foodweb's Elaine Ingham, now working for Rodale ssuch
as her publication "Compost Tea Manual" which is being updated and will
be available on the Rodale website.

Earthfort
Earth Fortification Supplies Company (nicknamed “Earthfort”) is an
agricultural business with expertise in the management of soil biology
for agriculture. Earthfort labs and offices are located in Corvallis,
Oregon – the heart of the rich Willamette Valley. The company has been
working with farmers from around the world since 2005.
The story we hear from farmers everywhere is the same: Farming is hard!
Your crops are your livelihood. You control what you can in your field,
now Earthfort gives you the tools to manage the microbiology in your
soil. Your knowledge of farming and our expertise in soil biology
combine to improve fertility, water management, yields, and more.
In an unmanaged system, such as a forest, no one is fertilizing and
there is no crop rotation yet the plants grow and the soil is not
depleted. Microbes in the soil breakdown the organic matter that falls
to the forest floor and cycles it into a form of nutrient the plants can
use.
In managed systems, such as agricultural systems, landscapes, and
horticultural systems, the products and practices can damage the
biology, limiting their ability to cycle nutrients. We know there are
beneficial microbes in the soil; and because Earthfort can measure these
microbes, we can now manage them to the benefit of the crops.
Crop protection products are effective; they are also not selective.
Follow-up treatments with Earthfort technology will restore the balance
to your healthy soil.
Earthfort believes in a three step process:
EDUCATE  •  EVALUATE  •  REMEDIATE
Educate – Earthfort provides training and workshops about the role soil
microbiology in plant health. The workshops are offered both in-person
and through the web. http://earthfort.com/training-education.html
Evaluate - The Earthfort lab processes soil samples from around the
world. If you can measure it, you can manage it.  The results of the
soil evaluation will help determine how to manage the soil microbes to
meet the needs of the target crop.

Remediate – Earthfort technology provides the tools to manage soil
health. Soil ProVide returns beneficial microbes to the soil. Soil
ReVive encourages beneficial microbial growth.
