Don’t Apply P Unless Needed

Welcome back to The Nutrition Farming Podcast. In Episode 3 of Series 5, I will be taking an in-depth look at phosphate.

Here, the focus will be upon phosphate efficiency and phosphate recovery from frozen reserves. We will explore microbes and minerals that release both soil reserves of P, and improve the solubility and plant availability of natural phosphate inputs. We will also look at the misuse and abuse of phosphate in our farming operations, and we will also  look at the benefits of soft rock phosphate.

In a new segment called “Microbe of the Month”, you will discover the multiple benefits of amazing azotobacter and I will share an exciting new strategy. For the first time ever, we have learnt how to multiply these creatures on-farm. This is a breakthrough of tremendous  importance because your cost of harvesting atmospheric nitrogen just dropped down from $50 per hectare to just $2 per hectare, and you get much more than cheap nitrogen. This organism releases locked up phosphate, controls key diseases, stimulates plant growth and can boost plant immunity. 

I will also introduce a new Q&A segment called “Ask G-Man” (that’s my nickname). In this initial offering I will respond specifically to a series of questions about combatting cancer. However, many of my suggestions relate to building strength and resilience in general and that can help to counter dis-ease in many forms. 

Our animal Heath feature relates to the science behind supplementing livestock with Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV), and we also consider the potential of this tonic for human health. You  will discover how to use ACV to make super p-effective, low-cost herbal tinctures that can help you reclaim responsibility for the health of yourself and your family.

This wealth of diverse information is peppered with my latest jokes to help break up the flood of information.

I trust you will find something of value in this 160+ minute special.

Warm regards,

Graeme
