    Organics dark side is Blood meal and Bone Meal fertilizers in my opinion
    (Bone meal is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones and
    slaughter-house waste products).So basically your feeding your plants
    Factory farmed gmo fed, possibly diseased animals left over blood/ body
    parts. Yummy. Not really all the organic one can argue.

    Can you use the weekly feed on gardens with soil. My raised beds already
    have the soil in it. This is the first time that I heard of this
    sawdust/sand method.

    What do you do about pests? I tried to crow crucifers here in the Houston
    area once and they were covered in cabbage loopers. Do you spray something?

    The results you’ve highlighted are remarkable. I purchased the Mittleider
    library and have been going through the course material. Have you tried the
    Mittleider gardening method using soil based beds? That’s the route I’m
    going this year. Great video!

    You could use this method to support your garden while building a great
    soil. I plan to use it in the garden while setting up my aquaponic system.
    Good videos, thanks for taking the time.

    I suggest doing a nutrient analysis on the two broccoli heads and report
    which has more nutrients. I suspect the smaller one will be packed with
    more nutrition. Most studies on nutrition in vegetables prove that smaller
    equals more nutrition and larger equals less nutrition. This sounds counter
    intuitive because it is. Scientists found when a plant has to struggle for
    nutrition in the soil it actually causes the resulting vegetable to be
    smaller and more nutritious.

    It sounds like it’s similar to using azomite (rockdust) along with epsom
    salts in very loose soil. I use a few of these nutrients, along with only
    manure & compost, and I’m able to get pretty similar results in my gardens.

    Never. This is true in any gardening situation as long as you are giving
    the plants all the nutrients they need. The soil is there to support the
    plant, provide aeration and drainage, control temperature and hold
    nutrients. Any soil will do that. The sawdust and sand mixture is really
    good because it is light so roots grow without a struggle and it is
    disease, bug and weed free.

    Beet greens are still very useful! I like growing beets because they are a
    2 for 1 vegetable. Delicious sweet beets and tender nutritious beet greens
    all in one space. Adding minerals to the plants not only makes the plants
    healthier but also more healthy to eat since those minerals get transfered
    into the eater. Again, a win-win!

    I’m seeking understanding. I guess I’ve missed something along the way
    here. How is it sustainable if you do not possess the capabilities to make
    or create more of it yourself? (the solution of nutrients, sawdust, sand,
    etc.) I just drew my own conclusion from the movie that if Paul, in
    earnest, was trying to replicate the Garden of Eden, or even the success of
    the woods adjacent to his property, that naturally their would be animals
    fertilizing it. Thanks LDSP.

    The beets were not covered. If you have seen my other Mittleider videos
    you’ll see I don’t have the pvc setup for the cover so I never got them
    covered. On the other hand you might notice that my wife’s beets are
    covered and have been the whole time. They also get full sun all day while
    mine don’t. You are correct it isn’t a fair comparison. My wife had two
    very big advantages. Raised beds to warm faster. Another reason to use them
    instead of BTE.

    Pre-Plant feeding is a piece of cake. Simply apply 1 ounce per running foot
    before planting and mix it into the soil – along with 1/2 ounce of Weekly
    Feed.

    Strictly speaking the article on organic vs inorganic does not claim that
    bagged fertilizers are organic, but that they CAN be used by organic
    growers.
