Interesting read here guys. Is some of these products similar to the
OMEX products? They can make a very good presentation as well.
Jdgreen I have to concur with you though. I do not feel the soil on my
feild is being degraded at all. In fact through practices like
returning all the straw back to the soil and good crop rotation my
fields are improving every year. I benchmark soil test and have
noticed marked improvement in the results.
I realize this is anecdotal but I took over one farm about 5 years ago.
The farm while not officially organic was a very low input hay/pasture
with a plow down every once in a while to grow some oats. As you can
imagine it was producing very poorly. We started farming it and with
reasonable fertilizer use and crop rotation the field has in the last
two years produced very good yields. Amazing what happens if you
replace what was taken away.
Cheers.
