Very many people in NA appreciate American Indian culture and they
contribution they made
to those who understand the value of their culture and lifestyle, in total
harmony with Nature.
This is so inspirational and so indispensible.

Well said, Steve. With much of that you are preaching to the choir.
The compost tea discussion in question involved exploring ways to keep AACT,
aerobically activated compost tea, aerobic through the time of field
application.
Court mentioned a study done that showed flowforms oxygenated liquids
flowing through them.

Aquaculture and aquaponics done right is completely permacutural, natural
and biodymanic
and of great value to individuals and communities needing to source their
food locally and from systems that are sustainable,
regenerative and natural. What about paddies in rice terraces that double
as aquaponic systems hosting fish and ducks
and a harvest of edible plants besides rice. I think that in some cases
rice paddy prep involves spreading and tilling in a large quantity of
manure,
maybe fresh. The planting of rice not only provides a crop but remediates
and purifies the paddy soil and water. See the Japanese film Satoyama
to watch rice farming, fish raising and water purification in action in a
thousands of years old system. Beautiful.

I wonder how the work of Sepp Holzer fits into the overall global scheme of
traditional indigenous agriculture on land with slopes, hills and mountains.
I wonder of Georg has visited Sepp's permaculture site. The videos of it
are fascinating and inspirational.

Keep up the great work you are doing, Steve. You are in good company here
in this forum.
