Healthy Soil Cycle

I help dozens of people get started with the Healthy Soil Cycle. I was started on this quest when Jerry Baker (one of the oldest men to swim to Alcatraz) introduced me to his -0- chemical garden. The taste of his Swiss chard (usually biter) was amazingly sweet. His cantaloupe plants were producing 15 fruits with taste so delicious you wondered if you need an insulin shot after eating it. Why was his food better - better soil cycle.

It starts with growing your own plants in soil that has had as little chemical applications as possible. We talked in earlier post how difficult this is, but start somewhere.

Then use the refuse from those self grown plants to feed you worm farm. This is key because the worms will produce new soil and introduce the soil biology (we'll discuss that later) that makes plants able to pick up minerals and nutrients our bodies need.

 Just go to ebay and look up worm farm

Or you can build your own project (Home Built)

 

The worm farm produces two important elements, soil from worm castings and a oil (nice word for worm pee) from the tappet you see on the bottom tray.

 

As you recycle your own food into the worm farm, you've now started your own healthy soil cycle.
