\nHomegrown Nutrition Seminar March 22, 2009 Collegedale Community Church Fellowship Hall
\nPresenters Daniel Parson & Scott Arrington<\/p>\n

The first presenter (i believe it was Mr. Arrington) is a Seventh-day Adventist, and quite a “big business is bad” incoherent speaker. The following man is not SDA, and was very calm and collected, and gave the impression that you do not have to be a little crazy to be interested in organic farming.<\/p>\n

Following are some pointers picked up at this seminar i attended. <\/p>\n

Most consumers will go up to 10 miles extra to buy fresh produce.
\nYou can net 50% of gross.
\nYou need land that is irrigated and deer-proof.<\/p>\n

For example, in one project they worked on near Atlanta, they did something called “Community Supported Agriculture”. The basic idea, as far as i could gather, is that a developer will intentionally leave a parcel of land open for farming, and the people who buy into that community will have to pay a certain fee each month for the privilege of having that farm land near them. In return, they get first chance to buy the produce, and can walk their dogs or just relax or whatever in the “community space”.<\/p>\n

Their income sources and yearly amounts in USD:
\n1. One acre Community Supported Agriculture\t26,000
\n2. Once per week Farmer’s Market\t\t13,500
\n3. Workshops\t\t\t\t 2,000
\n4. Farm tours\t\t\t\t 2,000
\n\t\t\tGross Total\t43,500<\/p>\n

Don’t just throw stuff on soil to make it good, but think about what microbes need.
\nThrowing nitrogen on the soil makes the crops grow well, but increases nitrates in food.
\nInsects don’t eat healthy plants (really now?!)
\nCharles Walters wrote “Eco Farm”
\nWe don’t like vegetarian bugs.
\nBe careful that your fertilizer doesn’t kill good bugs and fungus etc.
\nDon’t irrigate the whole field – just where you plant.
\nFor a winter cover crop, buy a “deerfeed mix”.
\nThe less you till the soil – the better.
\nWeed early and often. Weed shallow. Use a very long hoe with your thumbs pointing up, so you don’t have to bend your back.
\nIf you must buy fertilizer for organic gardens, look for “OMRI” on the bag.
\nCut and plow and mulch when the crop starts blooming (cover crops).
\nAvoid wood chips and straw for mulch because they take up nitrogen.
\nMix green and brown matter together to make a good compost. Use leaves for carbon, grass clippings for nitrogen. A good mix is around 80% brown and 20% green.
\nYou don’t need much lime, but if you do use it, get high-calcium lime.
\nTake soil tests every 2 years.
\nHave a map of your garden and measure it for crop rotation purposes.
\nPlant sequence-style. Instead of 100 heads of lettuce now, plant 10 now, 10 the next week etc.
\nThink of plant families when rotating.
\nThink of fertilizer, heavy and light feeders.<\/p>\n

One of the most interesting things i got out of this seminar, is that we should think of ths soil as being alive, because it is the microscopic bacteria in it that really determines if you have good or bad soil. So instead of just putting something on the soil to make the crops grow fast or big, think first of what the microbes in the soil need to be healthy. When the microbes are healthy, the soil will be good, and you can grow good crops.
