So I was getting my head around the high brix way of living. I came around this interview on the matter:
ACRES U.S.A. We tend to think that minerals in the soil are scarce because most of them are not in a form available to plants.
JONES. A soil test will only tell you what is available to plants by passive uptake. The other 97 percent of minerals — made available by microbes — will not show up on a standard test. By looking after the microbes in the soil we can increase the availability of a huge variety of minerals and trace elements — most of which are not even in fertilizers.
ACRES U.S.A. We always hear the story about fields that were continuously cropped or hayed for 30 years where the soil is so exhausted that we have to add a lot of nutrients or we can’t grow a thing.
JONES. The problem is that we interrupt carbon flow with the way we farm. Cultivating the soil and using chemical fertilizer and pesticides break up the mycorrhizal networks. If plants can obtain nitrogen or phosphorus easily, they will stop pumping carbon into the soil to support their microbial partners.
It’s taken a while for people to realize that plant root exudates are not only important for nutrient exchange, but also essential for the maintenance of topsoil. If carbon is not flowing to soil via the liquid carbon pathway, soil deteriorates. Carbon is needed for soil structure and water holding capacity as well as for feeding the microbes involved in nutrient acquisition.
When soil loses carbon, it becomes hard and compacted. The differences in infiltration and moisture retention between high and low carbon soils are dramatic. Planetary stocks of fresh water are declining alarmingly. More efficient water use is going to be absolutely critical to the survival of our species.
Making better use of water requires improved soil structure — which in turn requires actively aggregating soils. If aggregates are breaking down faster than they’re forming, the water-holding capacity of soil can only deteriorate.
(TLR) High brix ass kicks! Now that I tasted my own higher brix crops I can testify it is
This had me thinking for a while. And it makes total sense to me and warms me greatly that people are thinking and living- the colorful, fruity, sweet, lovely way of making our own Paradise here. All the singing birds and buzzing bees around! That's the dream I want to dream. The Love and peace, can that be the way? Love for peace, and peace to make it stay. I want to work in fruit and veggies related business to get the feel for the quality and finding it. I love how the hemp industry is already doing so much for the humanity yet it has begun few years ago. Like for example I was looking for alternative ways to plastic vacuum storage for food. Bud vacuum storage is what I find first Glass container. Glass is meant to last. Like high brix garden. Wohoo! Happy new year!
P.S. This looks absolutely epic:
I can definitely store fresh everything with the help of my handy compressor unit Dreaming the dream. Thank you.
