the video rebel presents some pertinent gardening information;
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― Buckminster Fuller
We will not survive Big Ag and Big Pharma unless we construct an entirely new reality without them.
Big Ag uses NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) fertilizers that are so expensive farmers are being bankrupted. No farms, no food. Big Ag tells us we need ammonia made from natural gas to feed nitrogen to our plants. We could sow cover crops like legumes and which fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into our soil. Or we could feed coffee grounds to worms in bins who freely give us complete amino acids in return.
Plants have 10,000 enzymes that perform repetitive tasks. One of those enzymes is nitrogenerase which makes amino acids from nitrogen. Amino acids in turn constitute complete proteins. If you feed your plants worm castings that have been fed coffee grounds, those worms will make amino acids so your plants can do other work like make polyphenols and fats.
Let me explain Brix before we proceed to the benefits of allowing your plants to become healthy enough to produce complete proteins, polyphenols and fats. Brix measures the sugar content of the plant you hope to eat. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) never score above 5 on the Brix scale as measured by a refractometer. Healthy plants score around 12, but I did see an organic grower whose grapes scored 15.5! That is astounding. He sells all of his grapes to a winemaker next door. We never see the best grapes in produce aisles in stores.......more........
