Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ visits the Last Organic Outpost Community Farm in Houston, Texas to share with you how they are creating some of the best FREE fertilizers on the planet at their farm by using several free resources including: Wood Chips, Chipped Yard Waste, Fruit and Vegetable Waste, Worms and more. You will discover that soil is the best investment you can make when organic gardening or farming and how you can literally put money in the bank by building your soil. You will discover the secret to why using wood chips to create a fungal dominated compost as well as a bacterial based thermal compost made with wood chips and fruit and vegetable scraps that is aerated to speed up the decomposition is critical to creating a productive, low cost fertilizer that will bring the highest level of fertility and organic matter to the land. In this episode you will also discover why compost makes you (and your garden) feel good as well as the role that earthworms and black soldier flies can play in building fertility in the soil. You will discover some of the crops that are being grown in Houston, Texas if you are wondering some of the vegetables you should plant if you live in this area or not. You will also learn how to best utilize the wood chips in your garden to create raised beds that will increase soil nutrition and fertility over time instead of decrease it as common synthetic fertilizers and tilling. Finally, John will make his personal suggestions to the farm on how to take this farm "to the next level" by supercharging their biologic systems already in place on the farm with 70-90 different trace minerals to increase yields, increase the health of the plants, and create healthier food for the community.

Yeah, well I fed seashells to MYSELF, by breaking them down on a rock with a hammer, and then crock-potting them into liquid. I took this stuff in for SIX MONTHS STRAIGHT trying to rebuild damaged teeth, and now I think I'm heavy metal toxic, and I can't work or get anything done and am about to run out of money. I'm trying to flush my liver out with green coffee enemas, but I'm trying to figure it out as I go, and it hasn't been going too good!

You the best , thanks

I'm not buying too much rock dust because I heard that leaves have TONS of trace minerals in them from the long roots of the trees they grow on. I mean obviously rock dusts are a faster and more direct way of getting the minerals, but after a few years of using them, I'm cutting them and just using leaf compost.

When are YOU doing this at your garden at your house? Better do it next year.

Cilantro/Coriander is great for detoxing heavy metals.
Turmeric and Cilantro/Coriander are excellent aid for those suffering Alzheimers disease or other glutamate and mylenination related disorders. -
get to the point man!

There is a composting facility near by which also provides mulch, special mixes of soils, and gravel. When they get a fresh shipment, when it rains a lot, or they turn it, you can smell it for a few miles. I don't consider it a foul smell, but it is pretty potent!

If I were to start a farm should i cover the entire ground with about a foot of wood chips and then build permanent beds on top comprised of compost? I just feel like the wood chips would rob nitrogen from the plants. Any suggestions would be great.

This is why I own a Bobcat and a woodchuck chipper. I get tons of yard debris from local lawn guys. They are so grateful that they do not have to drive to the dump and pay to get rid of it.
