Take a walk with biodynamic pioneer and farm consultant Hugh Lovel and John Henry Nelson around our three Living Web Farms in Mills River, NC. Hugh Lovel is the author of “A Biodynamic Farm for Growing Wholesome Food” and “Quantum Agriculture: Biodynamics and Beyond”. His articles appear in Acres USA and related organic farming periodicals such as Acres Australia and biodynamic journals around the world. Hugh is a farmer and an international consultant to dairy farms, graziers, broad-acre grain growers, and fruit and vegetable producers. As a multidisciplinary scientist, he has introduced comprehensive soil testing using both the Albrecht approach and a total acid digest test that more clearly reveals what is actually present in soils. Above all Hugh has been a leading pioneer of the new science of quantum agriculture. Quantum agriculture is a four-fold farming system first developed by Hugh Lovel in 1986 as a research project for Union Agricultural Institute in Blairsville, Georgia. This system is being used by thousands of farmers around the globe.
Learn how agriculture works in harmony with nature and how to improve yields, reduce cultivation, eliminate weeds, pests and diseases and improve crop responses to weather while harvesting both carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the atmosphere and building these into the humus in our soils. In part 2, Hugh begins by talking about the bioavailable silica and its effects on the plants nearby.
You guys are awesome an I wish I could farm like yall
According to Bloomberg all you have to do is dig a hole, plant a seed, cover it, and you’re a farmer, not much gray matter needed lol. Seems a little more complicated
So what’s the solution for this poor guys field?
I’m looking for a hand held manual cover crop seed drill. I’ve been unsuccessful finding the like.. Wondering if anyone uses one or knows where to find one., The only thing I’ve found are garden seeders, but they won’t work on crimped fields.,,
Question is that silica or rock dust or the same?
