"Nice Ricardo! I agree. We need to cultivate a relationship with what our own soil needs within our own garden space. I appreciate your input :)"
"Ricardo and Catherine, thanks for pitching in on this. I think Ricardo's last sentence, above says it all.
Notwithstanding that, if someone can come close to a true scientific experiment on growing plants with and without using it, it'd be great to…"

"Hello, Herb Lady.
As you do your research, pay close attention to the experience of the writer and methodology. A lot of people post "conclusions" based on one experience, but our gardens are far too complex for one experiment to draw conclusions,…"

"Thank you Morgan. I need to do more research on this to understand better. I've read what seems like conflicting information, so I need to get things straight in my mind. I don't want to confuse this discussion with unclear questions from me, so…"
"Hi Morgan, wow - thanks for all the information! I have used the fermented food scraps in compost, and most often have buried it in various places in the yard. My strawberries absolutely loved it (I had buried it before I planted them originally). I…"
"Hi Catherine!
I have never come across any information stating such or have ever experienced an issue, however, I will do some research and get back to you.

"Hi Jane,
When I was living on Maui, we (I lived with 2 other farmers who were massive microbial/permaculture geeks) used EM-1 extended to clean our bathrooms, counters, and the like. I wasn't a fan of the smell so I added some drops of essential…"

"Jane and Morgan, I've been trying to follow all the info and discussions on bokashi and I think it was Morgan who answered one via FB a while back, but here is my latest question.

"Hi Morgan, as you say, EM has been around for some time; Dr. Teruo Higa ran across it several decades ago and realized how effective it could be in a number of different ways. I've heard that Hawai'i does have quite an operation going. Aside from…"
"Hi Jane!
I'm happy to hear you are well versed in EM Technology! I studied in Maui where EM Technology and Natural Farming Techniques were very popular, and was a little surprised more hadn't heard of Bokashi in AZ. Keep spreading the word! :) I…"

"Jeff, you'd be amazed at how easy it is to make your own Bokashi. I've been doing it for years, using Effective Microorganisms I've purchased (currently I use http://www.Teraganix.com), unsulphured molasses, unchlorinated water, and a 25# bag of…"
"Great to see the new product ! (And love the purple/wind shutters on the home :)"

Hey Morgan,
Welcome to the VPA! Have you thought about teaching with the VPA? Love the plethora of composting methods you mention above. Let's get together sometime to talk ;)
