Hi All,

Some video shorts on the use of VAM's, however the increase in crop harvest of only 20% has me thinking that they are still using inorganic methods of crop production.

VAM's and micro-organisms in general suffer when confronted by petro-chemical fertilisers, weed killers and insecticides.

By my way of thinking the purchase of VAM's should decrease year upon year once the condition of the soil has been addressed.

In an organic soil all the conditions are correct for the proliferation of micro-organisms, ideally you want a pH level of approximately 7.

smoldered low temperature burn charcoal will sweeten an acid soil as in raise the pH, if you have an alkaline soil use plenty of Bokashi fermented waste and run off liquid to lower the pH.

The use of companion planting to ward off insects does not always work, however if the carrot fly is a problem plant parsley between rows of carrot.

The use of 1st and 2nd early potato halums and rhubarb leaves are good insecticides, it should be noted that both are toxic.

Simmer the foliage in a "dedicated pot" for 20 minutes, strain and save in labelled plastic bottles marked poison!
before use add a little unscented soap or washing up liquid this will ensure that the liquid adheres to the foliage to the plants being treated.

Getting back to the point if we want greater harvests and healthier crops we seriously need to address the problem. The problem is that petro-chemical agriculture techniques are killing our soils, if you need convincing watch the video "A Farm For The Future".
