Read about growers applying biological regenerative practices in all kinds of growing systems, stopping chemical inorganic fertilizer and pesticide applications.
Students of the Environment Celebration Institutes online classes are doing amazing things! Like Farmer Craig, who decreased operating costs by 15% the first year.
Microorganisms maintain a symbiotic relationship with plants. The symbiotic relationship that pathogenic microorganisms form with planes will harm or kill them. The symbiotic relationship that beneficial microorganisms form with plants enhances growth and health and protects them from attacks by pathogenic microorganisms.
Growing successfully in an organic system is impossible without the use of beneficial microbes. However, you canÂnot simply switch from synthetic to organic. Using beneficial microbes in a plant growing system requires a different set of growing parameters than are used in a totally synÂthetic system, whether a hydroponics, soil-based or soil less environment.
Microbes Form a Symbiotic Relationship with Plants Leaf, stem, flower, root, seed-surface, soil particles and soilless media are all places where communities of beneficial microorganism species should live. Each plant selects different sets of species of organisms for different environmental growing conditions.
Compost tea is a liquid produced by extracting these organisms, adding apÂpropriate amounts and types of foods, and by maintaining aerobic conditions, so the beneficial organisms are selected and grow.
Organic matter that we add into our plant growing systems provide nutrients that microorganisms immobilize and retain. Microorganisms transform nutrients into a plant-available form.
Written by Dr. Elaine Ingham and Dr. Carole Ann Rollins This 100-page full color book provides practical guidelines and steps to follow to be successful in a Gardening with Nature Program. Through a question and answer format the authors describe how to switch to growing with biology with using sustainable practices.
