Luke, I just added your information to my list of refractometer sources on my website (hope you approve) - www.MercyViewMeadow.org - find 'brix' on the site...
Beddoe's book is called Nourishment Homegrown and there is info at http://www.advancedideals.org/015_book_information.html. I beleive that is the only place to...
How much is your 0-32 brix refractometer? Darren ... refractometer sources on my ... - find 'brix' on the ... group) for some ... are incredible. ... this next...
Kris - thank you very much... I certainly don't mind. Darren - the info you are looking for is in the last message. If you have any other questions, feel free...
I have this book "nourishment homegrown" This book is a gem .Lot of practical usable information. I am already following the recommendation. It is in print now...
Kris, are you familiar with the Advanced Ideals Institute? I was looking up the Nourishment Homegrown book and noticed they are having a Gardening and Food...
HI Kathy, I would think that would be worth going to. In fact I'll go if I can, since it is so close and I have a son in Cleveland. There is a lot in his book....
Here's one that'll give you a good idea of how much I know about simple chemistry: A couple of days ago, when it was warm, I set up a few beakers with ...
I'm not sure the dilution is the major factor. I just put some vinegar in a 1/4 cup of water and took a reading with pH paper - 3.2, then I added an equal...
Brix readings are primarily dependant upon soil conditions, specifically phosphates with honerable mention to calcium. CO2 should relate more to yield than to...
Sounds like flattery Allan. It was your excellent article on Terra Pretta soil that made the cover in February. Jon ... From: BrixTalk@yahoogroups.com...
On the other hand those sugars produced when CO2 levels are higher head for the roots and help pull in the minerals needed to produce superior nutrition ...
I used distilled. I saw directions for this somewhere, so I think the idea is right. My real question was drawn from my complete ignorance of the atomic world:...
I grow soilless sprouts and grasses, in trays. My question is, do the microbes put the ph where they want it? If you have a good soil food web, does ph really...
Jon, Guanos, it is said, start out high nitrogen. And, as they age, they become high phosphorus. Scince brix primarily shows phosphates, why even bother...
Thanks, Jon! I guess that makes THREE of us who read ACRES! ;-) I'd REALLY like to get some BRIX and other readings from plants growing in original terra...
... Ah shucks . No need to be so exclusive. There are FOUR of us who read ACRES :-) Michael -- What is the ballot? It is neither more nor less than a paper ...
Darren, How do you get a good soil food web with soilless sprouts? It would seem to me that soil microbes, which do tend to normalize pH levels, would like to...
Kris, Thats a question I havent yet answered for myself. I follow the microbe tea receipes, and see what happens. So far, microbe teas have outperformed nutes...
IT's not a complete soil foodweb but a lot of sprouters are using EM and sea water mixtures to get hi BRIX sprouts. Of course, the microbes metabolize the...
... Allan, I don't know. But Elaine Ingham says that the pH of the soil is controlled by biology. That bacteria like pH above 7. and Fungi like pH of 5.5 to...
... Dave - Best to take Elaine with a grain of Calcium Carbonate a lot of times. We've got Soil Foodweb people telling farmers in this area that they need ever...
... Some soils, especially in low rainfall areas may be well blessed with a wide variety of minerals that just need microbial action to make them available, ...
Allan, Raw, unfiltered vinegar, like the Bragg brand, is biological, as well as chemical - its alive. It has microbes, and nutes. However, if it was filtered...
