Happy Growing
I hope I've been able to give you some good strategies in these pages and I urge you to
continue to learn more. This chapter provides a good summary and recommendations for a
garden health management program. I like to boil it down into the following six goals. We
need to:
• Provide sufficient water to the entire soil and mulch, some of it possibly coming
from cisterns and/or ponds.
• Increase the organic matter and humus content of our soil with compost, mulch,
sheet mulch, cover crops and humates.
• Increase the diversity and health of the soil food web with compost, mycorrhizal
fungi, compost tea, EM and other inoculants.
• Remineralize the soil with rock dusts and balance certain nutrient ratios with cal-
citic lime, rock phosphate and other fertilizers, based on a soil test and garden ob-
servations.
• Use biostimulants to further stimulate the system, especially sea minerals, kelp and
fish fertilizers, humic acids and molasses.
• Ensure the soil has enough energy by measuring and adjusting ERGS, increasing
paramagnetism and increasingly using biodynamics, energizers and radionics.
