the videorebel is creating a site for gardeners aimed at the next five years in the maunder minimum the writer predicts, and i'm gonna be going to his new site, as the crazy weather has already affected our garden;

We are now entering a period when survival is questionable. My regular readers know that I have predicted that the next Big Thing in America apart from the 2020 elections will be Nationwide Food Riots which could be followed by the systematic destruction of American cities. There is an alternative to starvation and violence. We could learn to garden. I have written a series of articles on gardening at my new blog- Grand Solar Minimum Gardening.

We learned the following from Dr Elaine Ingham who taught us what should be our first lesson in gardening which is soil biology.

One day a leaf on a branch 100 feet above the ground decides it needs more calcium so it sends a message down to the roots of the tree. Adjacent to the tree’s roots is a mycorrhizal fungi. It reads the chemical message request for calcium. The roots give the fungi sugars which the leaves had made from photosynthesis in exchange for the calcium. The trade for the calcium is completed and the mineral is sent back 100 feet ( a little more than 30 meters.)

The round trip takes 90 seconds. And that leaf could have ordered 40 other items using chemical messaging that are on the menu agreed to by the tree and soil biology. That menu includes magnesium which makes most of your plants 10,000 enzymes work. And Boron which plays a key role in cell wall formation and stability, maintenance of structural and functional integrity of biological membranes, movement of sugar or energy into growing parts of plants , and pollination and seed set.......read more.......
