Hello Boof,

Thxs for responding. I whole-heartedly agree with your mounting concern on global food supplies. I have posted before that I would gladly sit in the natural darkness, plus pedal a bicycle everywhere in the daytime, in exchange for clean water, basic foods, and minimal violence. Although, an occasional beer would be a huge plus. Time will tell.

I might figure out a drip irrigation system with compost tea injected into the system.

Entertain a folar feeding system. The fungi, protozoa, and bacteria in vermipost can help 'eat' the bacteria and viri which plants are attacked by.

In addition, the plants can take in the nutrients directly from the leaves.
