ecosophia | Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 64

As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.

3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

I own "Gardening When it Counts." The years just ahead of us, it seems to me, are just the sort of scenario he wrote it for.

If I remember correctly, he often makes references to how your grandparents would garden-- not a lot of fancy infrastructure, wide spacings between plants to provide enough moisture without irrigation, etc. And a simple recipe for what he calls "Complete Organic Fertilizer." It uses simple things like seed meal, gypsum, kelp, and lime. Solomon is all about remineralizing depleted soil.

I just spent about a hundred bucks for six or seven bags of stuff at the hardware store. It will probably last me the rest of my life since you use so little, and my compost will help, too. I do think it's worth doing a soil test, since soils in the western part of the US are already quite alkaline, as a rule, and in the East, many soils can benefit from added calcium. I'm going to tinker, too, experimenting a little with things like a tiny bit of extra gypsum in the garlic bed for extra sulfur. Mostly, I deal with animals these days, but I really liked Solomon back when I gardened more. He made intuitive good sense to me.

For those in the general Northwest region of the US, Concentrates is a good wholesale source for soil amendments at reasonable prices - particularly if you can get folks together to place a bulk order.

If you happen to be close to Corvallis, OR I organize a big nonprofit bulk purchase from them each winter for distribution in our community.

Soils in the arid west tend to be alkaline. Soils in the rainy northwest tend to be strongly acid due to leaching. Soil tests are definitely worthwhile. Sometimes there will be a serious deficiency of some micronutrient like boron, with remarkable results when it is corrected.

This thread seems to have changed direction significantly :-)
