Scott,
You are right, I need to be more patient and do a better job reading/listening to your perspective. I would also ask that you do the same for me. We are both dealing with the alternative perspectives of each other’s approach to soil restoration. I have disagreed and fought with many agronomists around the world that will say compost cannot provide 100% of the nutrition a plant needs. Which has been demonstrated over and over again that it can. I think the vigorousness of debate can and should cause us to reflect on where we need to refine our understanding and perspective. I am also in St. Louis (across the river) where I am friends with, worked with and met with M/B onsanto / ayer scientists and they privately acknowledge the limits of their knowledge and work with biological agriculture, because the science has intentionally removed biology from testing and research in order to have controls. This has lead us to bad science from these companies leading us to the current ecological and agricultural crisis. The research that studies biology is relatively new because of the difficulty in controlling nature, instead of working with it.
Compost can also be mixed with sand and create the same results as your product. I am not trying to diminish your product, or work, but trying to communicate an opportunity for collaboration in the regenerative space, “A rising tide lifts all ships”. There are limits to your product that cannot be accomplished with compost. But there are opportunities for your product that are limited by the skill and work that needs to go into compost, yes this is a good and valuable thing. I think you bring interesting ideas to the regenerative space in using carcasses instead of just a limited range of parts, so to speak. This is a method that I encourage in countries where amendments are limited and a little bit is needed to amplify the needs of compost extract or teas. (to be clear, I recommend boiling, crushing then drying, so it may not have the range of nutrients of your method/process)
I have watched your videos and I would also like to try your product on it’s own, as a compliment to compost and maybe even an additive. So I think I have been fair in my feedback. If there is a specific issues you would like to discuss one at a time, instead of in a long list of bona fides, I would love to learn more about your product and share more about biologically complete compost.
Now, is there a link to buy your product? I’d like to try it out. ????
