What happens when you add fifteen 55 gallon barrels of bokashi fermented food waste to a pile of mulch in your front yard? It gets very very hot!

All winter we sat in our , waiting for spring to come. Some looked at our home and wondered if we would ever emerge. Suspended in a mason jar on single twig where our mother left us. Our steward looked in on us in our home each day, patiently waiting for us to emerge. Behold, the are here.

We are usually looking down at the with disdain. But the truth is that dirt has all the players that can help us ourselves and the planet which we will forever be tied to. We should protect it and look at it with all the wonder and respect that we give to the seas, the moon, our solar system, and the universe itself. No matter what inner or outer, higher or lower power you believe in. The soil beneath our feet is the foundation in which we build up from. And will return to when we have given up our mortal flesh. If we lose our connection with the , we are lost in space and time. This dirty little life form that was found deep in the mud has every bit and maybe more of a role to play in this world as any of us do. I give it the respect and gratitude that I ask of and to myself, and my counterparts that I share space and time with.

When I first started Feed The Soil, I set the goal of helping divert over one million pounds of food waste from our local landfills. In collaboration with the Solana Center and their Food Cycle program, we are well on the way to meeting that goal!

Compostable products are “almost” pointless if there is no place to compost them.

Mycelium, the bindings that hold our world together. The highways that allows us to communicate and interact with the underworld. Time itself has to step aside once a network of these little highways begin to consume the building blocks of the world around us. Only to leave a rich source of nutrients to regenerate the space which it has passed. Respect it, feed it, honor it.

Talk about feeding the soil. This compost pile has digested over 600 gallons of food waste and 500 gallons of spent beer grain. As you all can see, it’s steaming hot. It should be done in two to three weeks.

Great times were had. brought the FUN out with . I’m willing to bet that no other group in LA had as many smiling faces assembled together that weekend. See you all at @ Vermont Square Park

Had a blast yesterday up in LA at . So many wonderful people. A HUGE “Thanks” for putting on the event. And a big thanks to everyone who showed up. I haven’t seen that many smiling faces in a long time.

A Beautiful Giant swallowtail butterfly in all its majesty. The caterpillars are not very pretty though. In fact, in early stages they mimic bird droppings, to discourage Later, they do their best to convince you that they are a snake, going so far as to extend out a bright orange “forked” tongue. Here in Southern California we find them on trees in the citrus family and occasionally in white sapote trees. .

Chickens love goat milk curds. Free protein

Oops! Now we just need five gallons of molasses to stabilize the LAB aka lactic acid bacteria. All that “cheese” on the top will make great chicken food.

Got milk? I do. Five gallons of fresh goat milk. What would you do with it if it’s not fit for human consumption?

Coffee flowers here in the food forest. Can’t wait to make coffee cherry kefir someday.

Did you know that you can make your own fertilizers? How cool is that? Stay tuned for more info on natural farming techniques that are being used in many places in the world but has been developed in Korea for many years. Thanks Master Cho. And thank you to my garden for pumping out all this fruit. And thank you for giving me the papaya tree.

One zucchini from last summer, three papayas, three pepino melons, and 27 fuerte avocados. A pretty good harvest.

If the rains don't come tomorrow, and don't come again until fall or winter, who here could get a good fruit harvest, or at least keep their landscape alive, without accruing triple digit monthly water bills?
Does anyone still have a good amount of moisture in their soil from the winters rains?
Also, Anyone here using the regenerative model of landscape stewardship?
If the Colorado river stopped flowing and the northern sierras had no snow pack, where would your water come from?
If the answer is "NO, or I Don't Know ," to any of the above questions, it's time for a RESET.
Earth Day has been celebrated at many local venues over the past week, but the truth is, everyday that we wake up should be a celebration and a remembrance of the importance of the planet itself as our most precious resource.

You may have heard of our worms that eat surfboards… Help us take the next step! The world produces more than 14 million US tons of polystyrene (plastic foam) each year. Americans alone throw away around 25 billion Styrofoam cups every year. And by volume, Styrofoam products fill up 25-30% of...

There are predators among us. And that is not always a bad thing.

Maybe we can ask our cafés and coffee house to start serving in these?

Meet Ron Mccord, aka "The Bokashi Man!
I met Ron three years ago and he has held a prominent place in my mind since then. I am so grateful to have reconnected with him on my return visit to California .
Ron is deeply passionate about creating healthy soil and his passion and excitement to heal our earth is truly contagious. His front yard was formerly a bare spot in the desert and is now the most luscious food forest I have visited in Southern California. I didn't know that this was even possible here. I felt like I had been transported back to the food forests of sub-tropical Florida, yet I was standing in a place that gets less than ten inches of rain per year (this makes it a literal desert).
His yard serves as his experimental site for creating healthy soil and the center to all of this for him is bokashi. Bokashi is an amazing effective microorganism that ferments food scraps and rapidly turns them into healthy soil. I've used it over the years, and many people swear by it being the most miraculous addition to their garden, but Ron is the man to learn from. So if you are interested in healthy soil and a healthy earth than give this man a follow at Feed The Soil and take one of his workshops if you are in his area.
Keep up the amazing work Ron. You inspire us all!
