We are starting a research project at New Harmony Farm in West Newberry, Massachusetts that will be testing rock dust and biochar together as well as separately, testing many different types of rock dust and measuring greenhouse emissions for all.

What a Journey, 6 months ago my beautiful and most tastily fruited 2 yr old habanera got sick and died.

I was not a Gardner, I did not know why my Hab died, and I was P***ed. That began my education. I Jumped into VermiCompost and where that Leeds me.  Now, I am up to expanding into Appropriate Soil Re/mineralization and Biodiversity.  And found all of you.

Cool, I am moving as fast as my eyeballs and experimenting carries me. I found a counter top company that saws a variety of product from around the world.

There product is very fine and does not kill my worms so I am adding it to my Florida Sugar Sand for gp and our yard plantings. The Plantings only got chemicals till I dumped my first bin a month ago. They are happy with the changes – already...

Bin wondering about those sea salts, and also, Pond weed, on the average, is it of high pass through nutrient value for my  worms , enhance offspring  and the product they produce?  I can get it free.

Do you know of one or anything or projects going on in the Florida/Tampa vicinity?

Worms love and thrive with rock dust and we have an article on that on the website:

Earthworms and Bacteria Enjoy a Symbiotic Relationship with Rockdust

As far as seawater, you can add occasionally using a dilution of 17 to 1.

Winston Kao is a major remineralizer in Florida and I believe his website is http://www.gobeyondorganic.com/
