В центре плодородной долины Уилламетт на западе штата Орегон фермер Боб Уилт обходит ряды своей тридцатигектарной плантации органической черники, внимательно осматривая и срывая спелые ягоды для анализа. ...
Perfect nutrient dense blueberries integrating compost teas, minerals and biological soil management
Organic Connections magazine has published a story on blueberry grower Bob Wilt who found that the more efficiently he was able to get minerals into his berries, the higher the brix measurement went. Hence, he concentrated on doing that and still does to this day. And as the brix has gone up, so has the flavor.

Perfect nutrient dense blueberries integrating compost teas, minerals and biological soil management
Blueberry grower Bob Wilt found that the more efficiently he was able to get minerals into his berries, the higher the brix measurement went. Hence, he concentrated on doing that and still does to this day. And as the brix has gone up, so has the flavor.“You’re aiming for a higher percent of dissolved solids in the plant—a higher percentage of complex carbohydrates, sugars and proteins,” says Dan Kittredge, executive director of the Real Food Campaign and an ...
Delving into nutrient density
In the middle of the fertile Willamette Valley in western Oregon, farmer Bob Wilt walks the rows of his 75-acre organic blueberry farm critically plucking ripe fruit for analysis. What he’s looking for is not sweetness or pest resistance (though these factors are certainly involved), but the fruit’s nutrient density. Thus far, his berries measure up. Test.

РЕМИНЕРАЛИЗАЦИЯ ПОЧВ И ОКРУЖАЮЩАЯ СРЕДА
За несколько тысяч лет эрозия истощила плодородные слои почвы во всем мире. Для нормального роста растениям, так же как и нам, необходимо постоянное поступление минералов - кальция для прочности тканей, железа для усвоения кислорода и т.д.Растения, произрастающие на истощ...
