I like the sound of all you are doing there, Francois. Have you ever made compost tea to create more Efficient Microbes and sprayed it on your plants? I have bought everything so far and want to try when it warms up again.

I am hoping to avoid adding anything to my AP system that I cannot sustain from my farm.... even iron. I want to teach this to the very poor who will not have access to any extras. Maybe pieces of iron can be added to the system somewhere? I know if you cook on an iron skillet you never get an iron deficiency.......

Of course this is idealistic theory at this stage... many learnng curves ahead I am sure.
