We are trying out some Korean Natural Farming methods at the farm. We are also using commercially available micro-organisms when we start from seed, and that has eliminated our dieback problems. It’s only an observation so far, not science. But it’s working.

I found this video interesting:

It’s a video interview with Terrance J. Bruggeman, executive director of BioTork. He discusses BioTork’s natural solution to the BP oil spill clean-up, using variants of naturally occurring organisms. Watch the video here.

BioTork is an bio-engineering company focused on three things: waste-to-biodiesel, using microbes to control agricultural pests and oil remediation. What they are doing sounds like what Korean Natural Farming does – using micro-organisms, instead of chemicals, to produce food. If so, it’s a game changer.
