Promoting Professionalism in Composting

What is "Magic" about Magic Soil, and how does soil health affect our health?

clock January 30, 2010 00:07 by author John

What is "Magic" about Soil? Really healthy soil is an awesome and facinating micro-environment with billions of micro-organisms in every handful. IN healthy soil, these micro-organisms cycle nutrients and provide natural disease suppression for the plants. Because so much of the micro-organisms are far to small to see without a microscope, many people don’t appreciate this amazing environment.

Plants simply thrive in MagicbioSoil

MagicbioSoil is a trade name that we give to the compost that we make, mostly from food scraps.

Many people have never given any thought to the importance of the health of the soil, or to how the soil health affects the health of the plants, and our health.

I believe that we will be healthier when we re-connect with the soil, become far more aware of soil, have a reverence for the earthworms and much smaller critters that make up the soil food web. See the Soil Food Web chart below.

Having an organic vegetable garden, connecting with the soil, can be an extremely rewarding affect on our whole being, joy, reconnecting with Mother Earth, with nature. It can be even more powerful if shared with family and friends, a ‘community’ creating synergy with nature, with the soil

ALL Animal Health depends on Soil Health.

The current chaos in health care has three rather obvious roots:

  • The body’s immune system is not working up to the challenge because it hasn’t been getting the proper nutrition, essential enzymes, etc.
  • The body’s detoxifying system is overloaded, with a massive toxic burden in the liver, so the liver cannot detoxify the rest of the body, and perform all the other wonderful functions that nature designed the liver to be able to perform. The good news is that getting the toxins out of the liver is quiet simple, inexpensive, and even a pleasant process.
  • Beliefs: We’ve been, and continue to be bombarded with propaganda and much of it is hazardous to our health. We’ve got to learn to think for ourselves, use ‘common sense’.

I would like your feedback, your thoughts about what you would like to know more about in the realm of health, nutrition and improving the soil.

Rebuilding our Economy, and Soil Health, so the soil can yield nutrient rich food for us

clock January 28, 2010 18:10 by author John

Our health, our survival, depends on our rebuilding the health of our soil, so the soil can yield healthy plants, nutrient rich food for us.   All animal health, including human beings, depends on the health of the soil.

While industrialized agriculture has been killing our soil with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, so the crops are grossly lacking in the nutritional value that our bodies need to maintain vibrant health.  In Contrast, organic farmers practice soil stewardship. 

We're proposing to build a new state of the art food composting facility to serve the lower Hudson River Valley region of New York State, to divert Source Separated food residuals that are currently going to incinerators and distant landfills.  We're talking about composting on a concrete pad, under roof, making the facility "zero run-off", protecting ground water.    We're talking about an elaborate aeration system with aeration veins built into the concrete pad, and our Dynamic Bio-Filter technology for eliminating any foul odors from within the composting system. 

This facility will be vital regional infrastructure, and a great totally Green investment opportunity.  We'll be solving a significant part of the 'waste' problem, while also significantly improving soil quality.  We'll be creating jobs, and enabling haulers to save significant money in tipping fees.  Everyone will win.  We'll be moving toward a much more sustainable environment for all of us.
