A rotifer seen feeding on bacteria. The sample is taken from the reservoir area from a tree growing out a rock that I've had for 4 years now. #Microbiology #Microorganism #Rotifer #Microbes #SoilFoodWeb
Today marks another trip around the flaming ball in the sky for my oldest. Happy bday Cam. You are putting in work at the academy and crushing it. I'm beyond proud.
Another interesting development from the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was a highly successful testing ground for Monsanto and their herbicide products (Agent Orange) which was used to strip vegetation in Vietnam during this time. The contract(s) Monsanto formed with the U.S. goverment, brought in a golden opportunity [Pun intended] to research and develop a whole host of new products. One of which was the development and production of Glyphosate (Roundup) that has been and currently is, applied to food crop systems world wide. After years of legal battles involving health complications from people using their herbicides and other products, in 2018 a company acquisition was finalized between Mosanto and Bayer. That's right the same Bayer that provides readily available medication for health ailments. Bayer's Crop Science Division offers products ranging from herbicides, pesticides, fungicides to even "genetically enhanced" seeds for major crops like corn, soybeans and wheat. They are used more and more throughout the world with every passing year. Talk about going full circle. View quoted note β†’

Sept 29, 2024 Nice little haul from the garden at the end of September. Tomatoes and Peppers (Not the onions) Feedings comprised of a few #CompostTea applications but mainly DIY #Biofertilizer applications this year. I wanted to see what a low cost biofertlizer could do. It did not disappoint! #FoliarSpray and #SoilSoak application method. #Peppers, #Tomaotes, #Pumpkin, #Squash and Dino #Kale did great! image #Permies #Gardening #Microbes #L.A.B. #Yeast
10/30/24 2nd year #growing and I now have a pile of #onion #seeds. Walla Walla + Red Onion To do list: Improve labeling to keep future varieties seperate. For the last 3 years applications of: #CompostTea #CompostExtract #Vermicompost And home brewed #Biofertilizers have been applied. 0 #synthetic inputs have been applied. I'd say it's been a #successful trial so far. image Time to clean up the chaff. #permies #gardening #microbes Thank you for reading, D.
