Video: Sowing Seeds: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know by Grow Veg

Dear brothers and sisters,

Spring will soon be here.We urge you to get growing, America. Imagine! Your backyard, a bio-intensive vegetable garden.Your front yard, an heirloom apple orchard. If you live in an apartment, join a community garden.

There is so much help for you out there.You have only to ask.

Here’s a magnificent video showing you just how to get started with sewing seeds. It’s that time of year, brothers and sisters. It’s time to sew your lettuce, spinach, kale and chard. And tomatoes – but of course! If you don’t have a greenhouse or a cold frame, a west facing window will do. Set your seed trays in front of it and water daily.

Hug the earth, it will sustain you!

May we wish you and your family a springtime of good health, prosperity and success.

Vanilla Powder – Organic

We have brought Organic Vanilla Powder back, despite its high price, as we have gotten so many inquiries. It is considered by some to be a culinary indispensable. It is made by pulverizing the whole dried beans to a fine powder. It is well suited to incorporation into liquid-sensitive mixtures, such as some icings and melted chocolate, where even a small amount of liquid could create a problem. In addition, the flavor of vanilla powder is more intense than that of most extracts and does not dissipate even with prolonged cooking. Vanilla powder will keep well, stored in an opaque, airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Film Reveals How Industrial Agriculture Destroys Soil

(Mercola) “The Need to Grow” highlights the shocking damage industrial agriculture is doing to our soil. The documentary, produced by Earth Conscious Films, follows three people who are fighting for change in our food system.

They include a 6-year-old activist petitioning Girl Scouts to get genetically modified ingredients out of its cookies; a farmer, biochemist and chef who is fighting to keep his land for regenerative urban farming; and an inventor from Montana who developed a Green Power House to accelerate the regeneration of soil using biochar.

The film starts out revealing some devastating facts about soil, including that 70% of our planet’s soil has already been destroyed. And because nature takes an estimated 1,000 years to generate just 3 centimeters of topsoil, if this rate of soil degradation continues, Earth could run out of farmable soil in 60 years.1

These facts are worrisome. But they serve as an important wakeup call that immediate action must be taken to save our soil. Fortunately, as shown in the film, there are fast and effective solutions to regenerate our soil. But before we explore those solutions, let’s first look at the root of the problem.

In the U.S., we’re losing soil at 10 times the rate of which it takes to regenerate it. The main driver is industrial agriculture, which relies heavily on synthetic inputs and machinery that tills up the soil. The practice of tilling affects the soils’ ability to hold water. It also turns soil carbon into atmospheric carbon dioxide, heating up the atmosphere, which in turn fuels the climate crisis.
