This is bang on! I had an eggplant crop that was nearly dead to bacterium wilt last year and I started applying strong doses of Pureblend Tea, an all purpose organic stimulant and they fully recovered and continued to crop until frost from being 90% dead. This isn’t supposed to happen. Rudolf Steiner knew this stuff 100 years ago, hopefully more become educated, Thanks.
Right on. Even the emerald cup Marijuana expo heard me to do a 10,000 square-foot regenerative agriculture Gardens expo for them. It is time since people are getting turned onto Health, and the planet.
Always love hearing John and his words of wisdom, since using AEA products we have been told by customers that we have the best tasting fruit on the island as we also have the most yield compared to other farmers in Hawaii
I just got the results of the Midwest Labs "PT2" (soil geological assay or total soil report). The following elements all in ppm: N=866, S=88, P=311, K=1162, Mg=4599, Ca=1761, Na=73, Fe=40253, Al=28722, Mn=595, Cu=31, Zn=62. I knew I needed to lime more so the Ca score was unsurprising. But the P total of 311ppm was great news as it tells me I don't need to add P. I just need to raise the pH from 6.0 to ~6.5 and let the microbes unleash the P with their phosphatase enzyme. The rest of the report means little to me. Any recommendations out there for an outfit that can interpret such a report? These numbers bear little resemblance to my other standard soil reports. Thanks
i forget which webinar or podcast now of John Kempf where he speaks of 2 tests - one mining type that tests for totals with strong acid and another with the usual protocol like Mehlich III (the other test is the Reams method using the Morgan test which supposedly tests for available immediately to the plant). there he also says while they still use soil testing (this is the Mehlich III and the like which are the basis for recommendations) but use it only 1) to correct the calcium to magnesium ratio and 2) correct for sulfur/sulfate, zinc, and boron - because these tests correlate only to these and with the other not, particular P and K. you said "I just need to raise the pH from 6.0 to ~6.5 and let the microbes unleash the P with their phosphatase enzyme." my take? yes with the microbes to make P available (would use Tainio products) but the raising of pH is nowhere in my learnings. much of this is amend and let the pH fall where it may. blessings
hahaha that would make my day! difficult to trial with locust. aphids, easy, you can find aphids somewhere and uproot the infested plant and plant it next to a great performing plant which would not be affected. in our place once, my brother observed how the weeds were infested near some of his peppers and papayas and was worried and i told him not to spray insecticide, and his plants, nourished well, never got the aphids, which are fairly easy to avoid...actually you can just spray a few plants with nitrate overdoing it and you will get aphids soon enough. if you have plants nearby that are nourished well, no problem at all haha. blessings to all

Wow! This is fantastic information. There is a lot to absorb here, so I will listen at least once more. Thank you for this 🙏
Love these shows. Thanks.
@Advancing Eco Agriculture pls provide links to the video recordings of the follow-up presentations by Johns colleagues.
Make me to easy understand, Big Thank.
How May I introduce your work to the folks at Florida Permaculture Convergence?
Thanks for sharing
What license does the video have? Can I make a translation and post it on my channel?

Is there anywhere we can look at the case study or anecdotal evidence of John's colleague who observed the resistance to locust attack?

Ok how do I get 6 week beet sized radish? What do I buy to put on these seeds? Leaves, soils?
Lambs quarter is a food too.
