Weather by the Moon E-mail

predict_weatherPredictions have been generated only by using the orbits of the moon. The database for the predictweather website was installed and sealed nearly six years ago - but it could just as easily have been twenty or 200. Official meteorologists using daily satellite pictures can forecast for the next 3 days, but using the moon we can go much further. Long range forecasting looks at trends. Due to the greater time-scale we ask that you allow a +/- 24 hr error, and at certain peak orbit periods when, due to the moon's changing speed the weather speeds up or slows down, possibly longer. Also, temperatures are only trends, going up or down. Major cities' data were collected before the days of increased reflective glass, asphalt and vehicle fumes which means today you may have to add up to 4C.

Read on for recent predictions for Australia.  I have highlighted towns and regions in bold.

"Organization is life, which arises as patterns at boundaries-basic quantum physics/chaordic science. Establishing organizational patterns on your farm could be the most bang for the buck you have ever seen-not that biology, minerals or chemistry can be ignored. Let us show you how these can work better as well."

VAMFungi Project

A VAM scientist and I  have been screening samples from the wheat belt and have tested them in greenhouse trials and have found a strain that is a real performer on wheat....significantly increasing biomass and yield...which is what we want...more carbon biomass in the soil and paid for by giving better wheat yields (+ reducing dependence on P fertilisers and improving drought tolerance).

I am presently looking for funding to proceed into field trials and production of the spores (which we now have a unique technology that allows us to make it very economically...priced to give ALL wheat farmers access to the technology).  We hope to produce a few hundred kg's this season for field trials.  I have a number of large growers very eager to be involved.

Interestingly, there is a bit of research about that indicates VAM do much better in the presence of N fixing bacteria, and visa versa.  Imagine growing crops with TwinN & VAM and maybe a few humates and a seed treatment alone, and toping up the P budget in the soil with some local feedlot manure every few years.  That would be low tech, low input carbon smart farming now wouldn't it!

Soil Tests E-mail

ealI highly recommend the services of Environmental Analysis Laboratory in Lismore. They are fully accredited with NATA and associated with the Southern Cross University. But more importantly, from a biological perspective they have close ties with the Soil Fooweb Institute.

They do a full range of tests from water and chemicals through to soils, leaves and composts. While the attached document below gives you instructions on how to conduct a test, note that I also analyse soil and leaf tests.

If you are interested in having your soil or leaf tests analysed with recommendations based on biological approaches feel free to email me, or simply mention From The Soil Up when you send in your sample. Your sample will automatically be tested using the Nutrient Therapy Soil Analysis - NT-Pack-01 - ($93.50inc per sample) or Nutrient Therapy Leaf Analysis - NP-Pack-01 - ($66inc per sample) and the results will be emailed directly to me, though you can request a copy be forwarded to yourself as well.

 From the Soil Up will then invoice you for the lab analysis as well as the recommendations (Soil Therapy $38.50inc per sample or Leaf Therapy $27.50inc per sample) - so don't send money to EAL.
