Talks with Invisible Gardener

Hello from Invisible Gardener,

Today, I want to talk about things that happen to me in my daily business. I do a local service where every month, I would come to your house and do my natural spraying. What I spray is a unique microbial tea that I make. It is rich in microbes as well as in trace minerals. This liquid is rich in many different types of biology, which I have found beneficial in helping plants, trees, etc. recover. In Nature , we find that the more a blend of various biologizes in the soil and nature, the healthier everyone will be.

I thought I would go over what I am doing in this location and why.

I was first called in for a house call because the trees were sick and dying. There are several varieties of trees there, each with different problems, but all have one problem in common: no soil. The gardeners never allowed nature to build up soil. They raked it clean and dumped all the organic materials.

I like telling people that all pests, diseases, and diseases of trees, etc., start in the soil. Healthy soil thriving with billions of microbial life keeps plants, trees, and eventually humans healthy.

The Trees on this property suffer from a trace mineral deficiency. This leads the trees to be attacked by various pests and diseases. This is the way nature cleans up. Pests and diseases are not the causes. It is the lack of living soil that is the problem.

So, the treatment is simple: start the customer bringing soil and mixing it into the area with what is there already. I would get the customer to buy the compost I make, and if that is not available, then I would show them some local sources of clean compost properly made with animal manure, especially cow.

Then I spray my microbial tea every month to inoculate the soil. The tea is a solution that I brew in my garage. I will cover this more later. I have a worm farm from where I get my live source of microbes, plus I buy a wide variety of soil biology from various places. I will cover this too later. I also use as many sources of trace minerals as I can get. My goal is to get all 96 trace minerals into the microbial liquid. This allows the microbes to eat the trace minerals and provide the plants with a highly assimilated nutrition, which the plants will take in either through roots or leaves. There are lots more coming on trace minerals and where to get them.

Foliar spraying is necessary as root systems are usually damaged, and the plants are starving for trace minerals, so foliar applications are essential.

Please check out the various podcasts that IG is producing. Some are videos and can be seen on my YouTube page, and some are audio podcasts like SoundCloud, iTunes, or Spotify. Look for the “Don’t Panic Its Organic” podcast where you get yours.

Thanks for reading.

Any questions, feel free to use the special email link provided in the newsletter which goes right into a special in box, so I don’t have to look for it. You can make a comment on any of my YouTube videos.
