  • wow some real information, thanks so much!!

  • @Auslander999 add some gypsum

  • Incredible amount of information. Loved it.

  • they make egg!?!

  • Dam , that organic food must be healthy if it helps you live 4000 years.

  • Any experience with "bat guano"? I just started testing with it last year. I'm leaning towards: 1.) don't use as much as they say 2.) mix a little bit of "bat guano" with mostly, cattle manure, but seems as if most cattle manure is not very organic, because the cattle are feed with chemical laden feed. Or, does the chemicals change into a "harmless form" during, after decomposing?

    Still working on it..

  • awesome!

  • seeding out clover is just too damn easy. The only problem you have is that those methods take more time than just putting some blood meal or some other additive.

  • If your soil is nitrogen deprived, then you can also plant some special nitrogen-fixing plants:

    1)clover, if you're having an alkaline clayish soil. If it's not alkaline, you may use a little fire ashes. Note that clover may also loosen up the soil by creating lots of deep and strong roots.

    2)lupins, if you're having a acidic and more sandy soil. lupins also bind a little of phosphorus.

  • it's 100% soluable nitrogen so it will be detrimental to the microbial life in the soil. i don't recommend blood meal because its action is like a chemical fertilizer. it force-feeds the plants at the cost of your soil. if you feed the soil rather than the plants, you're ahead of the game.
