A Conversation with Thomas Wiseman - Correcting Calcium Deficiencies in Fruit

Glen Rabenberg and Thomas Wiseman of Grow West discuss how to correct the cause of bitter pit and many other calcium deficiencies that plague growers in California and across the globe. Glen and Thomas discuss their experience trialing GSR Calcium on heavily compacted soils in California and the results achieved after just one season on the program.

a follow up with this client and the farms he helps with would be great to see...blessings to all

[@paulsipe8481]

What is the best way to increase microorganisms and the carbon in the ground?

[@dadigitechman]

Organic matter. I was gonna start a lawn and leaf collection business to get people to pay me to add organics to the feild. Everything you need to grow a plant is in the leaf of a tree.

[@garybrohard3144]

I am a home gardener/ food forester. I found a way of taking egg shells and extracting the calcium with vinegar. Have you heard of this and do you have any thoughts? I mix the liquid into my compost tea for application.

[@1975CEES]

why is some manufactuers puting magnisium in therir calsium produkts? is it to earn more money?

[@oneirosailing5572]

Propre selection of cover crops will solve your problem

[@RobertBee-fs8hv]

How does one apply 4 pounds of dust to an acre of land

[@SlipNRip]

It’s mixed with water and sugar i believe

[@1975CEES]

can you have thistel if you dont have a calsium deffciensy

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

no

[@dadigitechman]

Calcium deficiency or high PH?

[@1975CEES]

its less than 200 psi in one video and now up to 300 i wonder what is the correct answer or is it unknown.

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

look it up. A paper I found states that the feeder roots have 350 PSI force. I have used that as my benchmark. at that I have seen conventional zero till with an aerobic zone of less than 1 inch. Across the fence in my organic field it was 6"

[@lionsorchardnice123]

each plant is adapted to different compaction forces

[@johnm7899]

Tree roots vs row crops and grass roots.

[@Debbie-Keller]

The music is really mot necessary. IMHO

[@erwinbrubacker7488]

Maybe redesign tractor/sprayer !
