Off-Grid Soil Fertility For Sovereign Food Systems ~Epi-068

If you are serious about food sovereignty, you're serious about building soil. In this episode I detail 4 methods for creating your own soil fertility inputs from what you are already growing, can source on your property or very close to home, or are already in the course of putting food on your table. They are: Vermicomposting ------------------> good biology Compost Tea Brewing --------------> amplify biology Biochar ----------------------------> retain biology Plant-based Liquid Fertilizer --------> feed biology It is in the SYNERGY between these methods that the real exponential gains are to be found. I chose vermicomposting as a way to create good biology in the first place as it is relatively simple to get started with and will yield returns of worm castins within a growing season or less. Next, utilize aerobic compost tea brewing to expand the amount of beneficial biology you have created from the worm castings. Once you have a tea you can spray it and cover large areas of plant bodies or soil surface with beneficial biology and nutrients. This is WAY more efficient than spot application of compost. Next, use your aerobic compost tea inoculated with worm castings to inoculate charcoal and turn it into biochar! Biochar is a millennia+ soil amendment - it will outlive you and the next 20+ generations in the soil - and it will provide a home for beneficial biology and retain nutrients for the entire time it persists. This is as close to an infinite improvement as we can get in our human form. And finally, to charge up naked charcoal and give all the beneficial biology something to eat, we make anaerobically fermented weed tea (though animal products can be used too) to create a mineral and nutrient rich solution. Use your compost tea brewing set up to hyper-aerate this solution to kill all of the anaerobic organisms, leaving a nutrient soup, and then introduce naked charcoal and beneficial micro-organisms (vermicompost) to create a nutrient-rich, hydrated, beneficial microbe hotel that will provide increasing benefit to your growing systems year after year without you having to do it year after year. This is about getting off the treadmill of annual inputs. Don't give your money to the big fertilizer companies when you can make a way better, site-specific product on your own for very cheap that doesn't have a long-term downside like typicaly salt-based fertilizers and centralized, commodity soil amendments. Food sovereignty can be acheived when our food systems build soil by default. That is what this synergy can do for you.

You are invited to join me at this year's compost tea party! Send me an email at info@eatlesswater.com if you want to join or would like info on how to throw your own tea party.  Below is the Press Release for the event:RIO DEL NORTE TO HOST “COMPOST TEA PARTY” TO SAVE WATER ON WORLD WATER DAY More than 500 students and community volunteers will come together MARCH 22, 2023 to learn how to create pesticide-free landscapes that sequester carbon and save water and will be treated to a special pesticide-free lunch.Oxnard, CA. — In response to global warming and the mega-drought gripping most of the Southwest, Rio Del Norte School students will participate in a school-wide “compost tea party” on Wednesday, March 22, World Water Day, to shower their school grounds with an all-natural soil-enriching brew. Community experts and volunteers will guide 500 pre-kindergarten to 5th-grade students to douse the school's landscape, gardens, orchard, and play areas with the “tea” in order to build pesticide-free, nutrient-rich soil that will better sequester carbon from the air and save water. Students will also participate in 19 nature-based climate solution workshops led by experts from within the community. We will also have the River Song Band performing some of their smash hits led by Dr. John Puglisi, Rio School District's Superintendent. “The goal of the compost tea party is to engage the community to eliminate petroleum-based fertilizers and glyphosate pesticides, which the World Health Organization concluded in 2015 probably cause cancer in humans,” said Florencia Ramirez, Oxnard author of the book Eat Less Water, podcaster and director of the Pesticide Free Soil Project, a youth-led organization. “Playgrounds, parks, and gardens are part of the solution to save water on this planet because healthy soil that is untreated with chemicals can hold water up to 1,000 times more than treated soil. The compost tea party is an event to empower young people who want to turn their hope for a healthy environment into action. ”In addition to preparing the compost tea and applying it to the school's landscape and garden, students will learn about soil science from David White, PhD., Executive Director of the Center for Regenerative Agriculture in Ojai, beneficial bugs from Ron Whitehurst, owner of the world-renowned Rincon-Vitova Insectaries in Ventura, and other topics related to soil, organic food, compost, and decomposition from seventeen additional workshop leaders across the county from Ventura County Farm to School, Rio School District's Farm to School, Oxnard Union High School District's Farm to School, Master Gardeners, Oxnard High School Culinary Arts, Once Upon a Watershed, etc. The Oxnard High School Food Service & Hospitality students, led by teacher Ms. Debra Gallagher, are looking forward to working with the younger students. “Teaching kids how to prepare healthy snacks using garden vegetables while conserving water will be a fun challenge,” says student chef Harley Louis, junior. “When we run the blender bike workshop for the students we will be teaching them about alternative forms of energy and how to make a healthy drink at the same time,” says Elisa Barragan, senior Food Service student. This will be the second time the Food Service students have volunteered for the Compost Tea Party. Alumni and current college tutor for the program, Ms. Paula Perez, remembers her experience at the Compost Tea Party as “ exciting to be able to teach the students and see how well they retained what they were learning.”Students, staff, and volunteers will eat lunch made with locally-sourced ingredients planned and prepared by Rio School District's Child Nutrition Services. The event is made possible with financial support from CALEPA to The Encampment.&nb

Today's episode is all about cycling nutrients on your homestead to build rich, healthy, fertile soils that can't help but be productive. Soil fertility IS the number one asset a sovereign homestead can have. Indeed it's just about impossible to sovereign without it! Join me today for a high level overview of the different methods of cycling nutrients and generating your own fertility inputs to boost the productivity of your landscape and keep money in your pocket! We'll also look at how these different systems can play well together to capture and cycle nearly ALL of the "waste"streams generated by a typical American household into valuable amendments that can help you increase your independence from the grocery store. This episode is all about the permaculture principle of WASTE = FOOD! We will cover: Vermicomposting - Perhaps the easiest and highest value nutrient cycling system with tremendous benefits in nearly all contexts. Thermophilic composting - good 'ol fashioned turn 'n burn compost piles for processing large amounts of bulk materials into quality soil amendment. Johnson-Su Bioreactor composting system - produce incredibly high fungal-content compost that is great for perennial cropping systems. Compost tea brewing - brewing aerobic teas to get the most bang for your buck from your beneficial biological inocolums. This is a HUGE leverage point! Bokashi - a type of anaerobic "pickling" of food wastes - awesome because this can handle everything that worms don't like! Livestock - Chickens, pigs and black soldier fly larvae - all great way to get more value out of "waste" and turn it into food for you or something that grows food for you. Charcoal & Biochar - make a soil amendment that will literally last for thousands of years - the ultimate legacy investment to pass on to your kin. Korean Natural Farming Indigenous Effective Micro-organisms - a simple, effective and damn near free way to make a site-specific biological inoculum for your growing systems that literally comes from where you live! And the best part is - you only have to do it once! Greywater - sink water, laundry water, bathing water - all nutrient rich water that should go into your landscape to grow something! Blackwater  - yes, I'm talking about toilet water here. Conventional septic systems inject this pathogen-laden water into the ground (often times into the same water supply that wells for potable water are tapping) when it could be utilized by biological systems at the surface to grow tons of food - with no stink of course!

You're familiar with compost. But, what do you know about compost tea? Your plants might appreciate the microbial boost provided by compost tea. Please note that I did not say, "nutritional boost". There's a lot of opinion and unverified personal experience associated with the compost tea knowledge base, but not that much about it has had a lot of peer-reviewed research, including its alleged nutritional value. One Master Gardener who has pursued that topic, delving deep into the academic rabbit holes, is Ralph Morini, a Piedmont, Virginia Master Gardener and researcher. Today we talk with Ralph about what he found out about compost tea in research papers: how to make it, how to use it and what to expect from compost tea. We're podcasting from Barking Dog Studios here in the beautiful Abutilon Jungle in Suburban Purgatory.

Episode 79 - Bonding with Your Soil Building a good relationship with your soil may not be high on your list of New Year's resolutions. But it's key to establishing a healthy, abundant garden, according to Linda Borghi. In this episode of the podcast, Linda, co-founder of the online educational site, Farm-A-Yard,  returns to dig a little deeper into the topic of soil. Nurturing the Micro-Cosmic Community The micro-cosmic community beneath our plants has a tremendous impact on them, she notes.  And by nurturing this community, we give our plants a powerful advantage. There are so many things we can do that are simple and cost very little.  For instance, as Linda says, worms can turn your coffee grounds into a beneficial addition to your soil: worm castings.  Maintaining a worm bin is one way to produce your own castings.  But putting the worms directly into your soil can eliminate the middle man. The benefits of building healthy soil aren't limited to plant health. The direct skin-to-soil contact you get from gardening has also been shown to improve health both mentally and physically.  Linda share's her own personal story of how gardening helped her recover from a debilitating illness. Building Soil Energetically Linda learned all about nurturing soil on an energetic level through her study of bio-dynamic farming.  But then she met her partner in Farm-a-Yard, Evan Folds.  Evan has taken these ideas to a new level via what he calls, "bio-energetic" farming, which he discussed with me on a previous episode of the podcast. I have to say, as a yoga teacher and long-time meditator, nurturing my garden on an energetic level holds great appeal for me.  So I'm excited to try Evan's "Compost Tea-in-a-Box" which you can get here with 10% off by putting "lettucelady" in the Discount Code box. (The code works for any size of Compost Tea in a Box, but Linda recommends the $49.97 size because it contains an air pump and air stone.) Making compost is an art, Linda says.  But once mastered, its beneficial effects can be truly miraculous.  Just have a look at what's happening in Egypt. A Revolutionary Act Growing your own food is a revolutionary act, as we note in our discussion.  The ability to produce our own, non-toxic food can provide a significant measure of security and independence in uncertain times.  But what if you could actually make a living from it? Teaching folks how to do just that is Linda's mission.  She shares her beautiful vision of a world transformed by abundant gardens during our chat. If you're interested in building a better relationship with your soil, you may want to check out Linda and Evan's upcoming free webinar on "How to Handle a Soil Emergency" http://farm-a-yard.com/gfem/Soil_Emergency_SL   It takes place Friday February 17, at 4pm ET/1 pm PT.  I know I'll be checking it out! (Disclosure: Sustainable Living Podcast is an affiliate of Farm-A-Yard.).   Chronology of discussion points in this episode:  7:00 Soil is a living organism 10:30 Worms for improving sandy soil 14:00 Other ways to improv soil 15:00 Coffee grounds for worms 16:00 - We are not gardeners, we're soil managers 17:00 - How working with soil directly benefits human health (article about gardening soil and depression, Earthing and ions) 21:00 Bio-dynamic farming 25:00 Bio-energetic method 28:00 Compost in a box (microbe makers link) (lettucelady promo gets you 10% off) 30:00 The art of compost 31:00 Greening the desert in Egypt 33:00 The revolutionary act of growing food 35:30 The dangers of "stupid" markets 38:00 Self-reliance 39:30 - Earning a living by growing food in your yard 42:00 - Even Folds webinar on soil fertility 44:00 Soil and the transformation of the world 52:00 Benefits of developing a relationship with the micro-community 53:30 Benefits of understanding water better
