Yummy Harvests and Aquaponics pH

Farm News (Farm Overview & Disclaimer) 228

We collected two varieties of blackberries from our fields, blue elderberries from down the road, blueberries and raspberries from the orchard and our first hops harvest.

All of the berries produced a good amount this year and the first year hops did much better than I expected.

Out of the seven varieties we started, the Liberty produced the smallest amount of flowers. We harvested the hops just before we got some rain and air dried them in a hanging mesh container.

I was having a hard time getting the Aquaponics system pH from staying too acidic. Normally we just add a few mesh bags of oyster shell and the system is self regulating over long periods of time. We occasionally wash the oyster shell and place it back in the system when the pH starts lowering again, maybe once every four to six months. We add new oyster shell only about every other year.

This time the usual washing and adding new shells was not helping and I was at a bit of a loss as to why. Along with other maintenance I cleaned out one of the radial filters (basically a 50 gallon settling barrel between fish tanks) at about the same time.

The pH immediately started rising back up. Apparently the amount of sludge accumulating in the bottom of the barrel was causing the pH to drop. After cleaning the second filter the pH came back up to its normal reading (typically 6.6 0r 6.7).

“In order to save glyphosate, the Monsanto corporation has undertaken an effort to destroy the United Nations’ cancer agency by any means possible.”[10]

... " just four companies — Bayer, Corteva (formerly DowDuPont), BASF and Syngenta/ChemChina — controlled 75 percent of plant breeding research, 60 percent of the commercial seed market, and 76 percent of global agrichemical sales in 2019."[78]

Just gotta' LOVE glyphosate, right?????

Yes, the second link is old news, but not forgotten and more importantly, as the first link shows, not remedied:

Song by Mike Adams, with spoken lines from Jeffrey Smith

I’m lookin at the food that’s in the grocery store
They say it’s safe, everybody eat more.
On second thought, I don’t really know if it’s made with those GMOs

So I’m lookin for the non-GMO label ‘fore I bring it home and put it on my table
I wanna know it’s verified so I don’t
Harm myself with genetically modified

Uh-Oh
They don’t want you to know
All the poison they grow
The corporate profits they show from those GMO OH

Those Frankenseeds that they sow
They’re gonna hurt us we know
It’s time we told ‘em to go, say GMO NO!

I don’t want eat poison, I don’t want gene mutations at my dinner reservations
it’s a food abomination what they doin’ to this fast food nation
They take artificial gene combinations
inject them in seed variations
so they can grow their Frankenfood imitations
while the side effects cause medical patients

Keep their profits alive while they
spraying all the food with name brand herbicides
and all the while they’re spreadin’ their lies
Monsanto (Bayer now!) destroyin’ farmers lives
and the FDA keeps it all going
saying it’s safe even though they all know it’s just
poison stealing away your life, and that’s what you eat with genetically modified.

GMO safety huh that’s a corporate myth
if you don’t believe me listen to Jeffery Smith
He’s the man with plan gonna do what he can
To help us all get those GMOs banned
But we need you to lend a hand
take a stand against this food scam
It’s a mission for the health condition worldwide
We don’t wanna live genetically modified

Don’t eat food unless you know what’s in it
Don’t believe the propaganda cuz the press will spin it
Affects everybody, we all up in it
Stand up to Monsanto (Bayer now!), tell ‘em oh no you didn’t

Reject Frankenfoods in the store
demand honest labels so we can be informed
We have a natural right to know
What we buyin’ Just say no to GMO

Before our farms start dyin’
Just say no to GMO

Those corporate crooks are lyin’
Just say no to GMO

This time we’re not complyin’
Just say no to GMO

We’re just not buyin’ it
Just say no to GMO
