Re: Doc Bud's High Brix: Strawberry Cough, Pineapple Express
I'm in Europe and the thing that most closely fits what I think I'm looking for is Seers rockdust,
""SEER® Rockdust®" - 420 million years old, freshly ground, untreated, volcanic rock from Scottish quarries. Decades of rigorous gardening trials and scientific analysis show SEER® Rockdust® to be safe to add to soils and compost. Whilst chemical fertilisers may produce more immediate visual results, SEER Rockdust adds a huge range of mineral and trace elements for long term soil health.
Thanks to the activities of the soil and compost fauna (from microbes to worms) remineralised soil and compost produces the following benefits:
- BOOSTS organic soil fertility
- HIGHER nutritional value
- LONGER shelf life of produce
- LUSHER lawns - BIGGER healthier crops
- BETTER flavour (vegetables start to taste like they used to!)
- INCREASED pest resistance (less reliance on pesticides!)
- IMPROVED drought resistance
It also gives talks covering amongst other things
"Cameron explains how todays climate change is linked to Earth's soil history and he discusses our potential to stabilise climate change by assisting soils to absorb excess CO2 via soil remineralisation and ecological management. "
Which I read as 'You High Brix gardeners are actively taking steps to save the planet'
Keep up the good work!
Agree with Vapedogg, in fact it was the sight of High Brix leaves that utterly convinced me how different your plants are
I've heard of that stuff! Just make sure you also get some Soft Rock Phosphate. That one is the most important.
You've got to get massive amounts of phosphorus and calcium without burning the plants. Microbial action is the only solution, and Soft Rock Phosphate is the right thing for that, being 20% calcium, with many trace elements....and of course, phosphorus.
As far as the minerals in the soil go....I read a fascinating history of the rise of the great civilizations where the author made the case that superior food supply in certain areas at certain times is what gave rise to the great civilizations.
Just like pets that eat crappy food, or POW's.....many of us suffer from poor nutrition because we:
1.)eat crap
2.)try to eat well but only have access to low brix food
3.)don't know any better, don't like healthy food.
The vegetables taste delicious if grown high brix style and the nutritional benefits, over time, mean all of us are healthier.
In non-vegetable matters....the weed tastes better, and the effect is more complex and comfy. High Brix weed is "without vice." No paranoia, no couch lock, no coughing.....the more you smoke, the better you feel. And it's pretty easy to grow!
