the father of synthetic manures said.....he didnt deride NPK, merely the synthetic forms of it and his mistake of seeing soil as a shelf for his chemistry set.
Its less about NPK all of this. I keep trying to say, its CHNOPS not NPK, and its microbes and feed back loops that determine if we have the right soil for the right plant at the right time. if we grow X plant over and over and over, what does this mean. Ok so now what does it mean one day to the next, how does soil change as our plants grow, how does this impact the biology, what can we do to maintain ideal conditions at the interface in a simple to follow way which allows food freedoms for anyone who wants to have a go, and feed the world in light of the simple facts, most food crops suffer a drop in harvest when switched to true organics, which will drive up the prices of food and make access to it even harder for many, who shops at organic food markets nowadays, do they even take food stamps?? Forget about dismissing others and work on providing solutions to the real problems we have and make any solution accessible to the many, either by sharing or by caring or by doing for the greater good if this is your thing. We all know whats wrong in our hearts, but if we have energy to spend then we might use it to see if we can overcome the real issues people have growing consistent and quality bud.
banging on about one method being the best is worthless. Finding solutions to the problems we all face is the best way to use energy in this space. Anyone that ever followed a dude whose name was "Liebig", is a fucking twerp anyway in my mind, but I am organic, always have been. Added I am not a dope, i acknowledge the shortfalls in organics and these are real, not fabricated to keep you buying man made manures i dont sell. Its the reason behind me, why I set up BOX to try to find answers to this missing% food or meds without harming tomorrow's outcomes.
I thought he discovered nitrogen was vital in plants?
I posted the article cuz I thought it was rad, the guy who is responsible for synthetic fertilizers eventually went back to Organics!
The same plant over and over and over we would deplete what that plant uses from the soil. That's why I believe in permaculture and planting multiple cultivators together instead of having acre after acre after acre after acre of the same thing. You do companion planting this tree will produce this food and it also adds to the soil what the next tree over needs that produces something different.
There's plenty of no-till permaculture Farms that have been going over 10 years.
If you think true organic food is expensive, what do you think about that $1.50 peach from the grocery store that taste like sour water and barely has any nutrients in it!
To me that's expensive, 1.50 for what, to be able to produce a turd?
My 2.50 peach taste amazing, orgasmic! Plus it's nutrient dense.
It's like the guy who buys the bottle of juice for $2.50 over the other jar of 100% juice for $9 but when you read the back of the $2.50 bottle of juice, it's only 10% juice so to get the hundred percent juice that I bought for $9 you would have to buy 10 of those bottles so now you're at 25 bucks and my $9 of 1% juice is still healthier cuz the other one is filled with all kinds of shit it's got like sucrose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup.... what the shit man this is supposed to be juice
same thing with syrup for your pancakes maple syrup for 10 bucks or that caramel-colored corn syrup is 2 bucks.
I shop at the farmers market, just about every Wednesday and Saturday I'm there. Build good relationships with the vendors, and they have a table for people who have small crops to sell.
I do stewardships at least once a month sometimes more. I go to various events building Trails, bicycle trails, cleaning up areas where people go shooting, I volunteer teaching classes, kayaking, camping Basics, how to change a flat tire on a bicycle... etc
I don't believe that banging on about 1 style being the best as worthless. It absolutely is the best. But I don't go on about saying it's the best I say there's better options.
If I give a lecture to 500 people and one person makes a change and that's a win man. The other 499 people I'm not mad at them, they can do whatever they want to do. I'm cool with whatever style anybody wants to grow in or whatever they want to do. But I will suggest other aspects I will talk about why one is better than another
One of the biggest problems we face is our food being inadequate. Eating habits are pathetic.
I understand what you're doing you would like to make box replace synthetic and have a proper real organic bottle nutrient that's readily available and doesn't cost a lot. I like that and I think that's rad but we all have different paths.
Lie big that shits funny
