yeah sucks that bro, happens everywhere, we are moving because land prices are off the chart and its not economicUse to be! Moved on to quieter pastures. Funny thing how quick beautiful land is bought up by the wealthy and the lessers are pushed to the fringes. How much of Vermont has been deforested since 2000? Mostly to build giant second homes for Long Islanders.
10 bucks he is from Connecticut or Long Island though!:)He is lucky though. That spot butts state forest by the looks looking northwest at Camels hump and to Sugarbush ski resort to the Southwest..
no doubt, ex goldman or BoA LOL10 bucks he is from Connecticut or Long Island though!:)
some of them had to have the wealthy parents :-)I love his book by the way, and his architectural drawings are hands down the best I have seen. That copper downspout didn't pay for itself though:)

if you dont mind me asking, where are these farms?Oh... Elaine... she is personally responsible for the downfall of many farms. She does not understand plant nutrition, her arguments against sulfur are silly. I have 500 ppm of Sulfur in my soil and I can outproduce any lime or avocado grower on the planet ORGANICALLY. And my soil biology is cranking! I also use 2 to 3 tons of gypsum per acre per year. I apply copper in my irrigation system, my biology is still cranking! You can grab a handful of soil 20 inches down and smell the forest, which is the odor of oxygenation.
Agriculture is not of extremes, it is about balance. You need to balance your soils so that you can get a balanced biology. That is fast! The other way around takes years! I want results TOMORROW! You all have it even worse, you grow annuals!
Here is a good book that is out of print, More Food from Soil Science, written by Dr. Victor Tiedjens. He was not only a PhD, but also head of the ag extension service in New Jersey and more important than everything else, a farmer. Good reading!

Interested to hear you say this, considering our experience with calcium carbonate.........Didn't learn from that? What negative effects did you see from high sulfur?Gypsum is good, but not to be used a sole source of calcium.
Gypsum is calcium sulfate, calcium + sulfur.
Best to get your base saturation of calcium to 60% with calcium carbonate before adding gypsum.
Have seen growers make soil mix solely with gyspum and then hit very high levels of sulfur.
