Soilfixer

Our population is growing and growing fast. So the chemical companies are rubbing they hands. More fertilizer more chemicals more profit. Is this the way to future? Our soils are half death and dying.
Recently I picked up hand full of soil from paddock. Land belongs to very influential farmer. To be honest to you I didn't expect to find any life in the soil. It did not have this lovely smell to it. Plants need life to live ( microbes). His line was " I can't afforded to to something about it " and " my agronomist advise me ".

To have a goal and purpose especially if is connected to other people is noble to say at least. Golden rule saids "Do good onto others". In todays society living by the golden rule is not easy. We are all to busy.

Did you ever think that your own mood can make plants grow better.
Lets do some experiment with this idea. For example sow plants into three separate groups. One neutral or test batch. Second negative batch (when you water or transplant them be angry negative but don't say anything).
Third batch are positive ( when you are around them think positive nice thoughts ). Record diligently every thing ( time ,date, mood and how did you feel after each session )

Ups!!! I nearly forgot about the image this is part one of three images.

When one works with plants it is usually labor intensive. So there islots of work and not much play. But form time to time one gets rewardet with unusual site like this one. The ants has starting to build they chimney. this is good examples how ants thing about they comfort. Chimney they build is for air conditioning so when is hot air circulate in natural fashion.
You will also noticed lots of seeds around they nest. This is no accident ants bring seeds closer to the nest so in winter they don't have to go far for food.

Do you remember the strawberries from last time.
well this is they offspring nicely transplanted and ready to be sold.

Bay the way I am sorry not to posting any thing for long time.
We have moved to new location. New town and new opportunities.

Yes, I know this is not excuse but is true.

It is easy to grow best tasting capsicums if you have good soil. Look those capsicums closely do you noticed colors. I even don't want to pick them. With capsicums like this there is no fear of common cold. Capsicum is full of vitamins and minerals in just right ratio for human body to consume. Did you know that capsicum has more vitamin C than lemon. Also did you know that red capsicum has more vitamins than green one.

To get parsley to grow better parsley must be cut.
Here are the picture of cut parsley. I use parsley in herbal preparations at Herb farm. Becouse of good quality of soil my herbs are priced well on the market (if they ever get there ). Usually I use fresh parsley to supply our local clients. If we don't sell all herbs we dry them and capsule them. Again due to high quality of soil herbs have more nutritional value than commercial one.

This is just one example how one can grow healthy herbs in cows through
Please observe the color of the shoots lash and deep green.
Parsley must cut often not just to use fresh herb but to prevent from going to waste. Look at the edge of herb it is dry and wilted.
more about parsley tomorrow.

Save on space. Save on environment. Save on water.
This is just one example how can you save 3 times by using old milk bottles. As you probably know strawberries like water. So use old milk bottles to place them in it together with good quality soil (which you have made your self ). Every morning you must water strawberries with mixture of 1 part of special fertilizer and 5 parts of water.
As you can see they are doing very well indeed.to be honest with you they are doing exceedingly well.

Some times when you do your normal chores you get rewarded with out warning. This beauty come up among big pumpkins. I plant them (pumpkins) at back of the house in not so fertile soil. Love and good natural fertilizer give amazing results.
This particular plant is a part of special experiment which if (when) successful will revolutionize soil maintenance and increase yield.
So what is this plant?
Can you tell by flower?
I thought it will be good to show the picture and readers try to guess it.
The winner of this small competition will get surprise gift from me.
