campaign for naturals

We seek your participation, preferably support, by expressing your leanings, so as to enable NJ SADC and SCADB to recognize our use of tree biomass in various forms and ways, that are less taxing means to grow nutritious foods and catalyzing better environment, reducing dependence on synthetics, processed materials.

farming, is to mindfully gather the energies, package it as food, for the consumer of it to be able to perform. the bacterial and fungal life in the soil significantly contributes to synthesize the energies for the plants to convert it into food. at end of life, plants and tree biomass are critical sources of energy to power the transformation.

we use locally available tree biomass, logs and wood chips:

to sustainably grow foods
to build in ground and above ground hügelkultur (aerobic layer) to grow crops on
wood chips as a cover (mulch) on the soil to grow crops
utilize wood logs to grow mushrooms
place wood logs on hedges as habitat for insects, that eventually breaks down to improve soil tilth, supports ecology that doesn’t require harmful synthetics, like herbicides and pesticides
make charcoal, elevate to biochar, making soils sustainable for a very long period of time. terra preta soils are known to be rich for couple millenniums.

such practice improves soil fertility, contributes to:

organic matter in soil
carbon sequestration
water conservation
nutrients
significant reduction of energy expense, by not having to till, import replenishments for soil
erosion reduction

we have been able to grow nutritious foods as a result, as such environment provides beneficial energy. we believe import of ready made compost deprives the soil’s ability to make and allow extraction of nutrients, reducing self-sufficiency of soil.

at present nj state agricultural development board (nj sadc) and somerset county agriculture development committee (scadb) doesn’t recognize such practice as agriculture practice and finds us in violation and revert the results from our practice. human beings practiced such practices for thousands of years. it happens in wilderness, forests all the time. nj sadc and scadb states applying urea, herbicides, pesticides, plastic mulching, imports are prevalent agricultural practices and there is no objection, if we chose to practice such.

we believe man made synthetics may provide ease, convenience and abundance in short term, natural transformations promises sustainable, long term health.
