Tips for Growing
Tomatoes
Tomatoes come on in waves, so as each wave of tomatoes come on put a little
fish fertilized and kelp on them. Be aware of fertilizers with the high of
nitrogen. Tomatoes don’t need very much nitrogen.
Watermelons and Cantaloupe
When the fruit comes onto a runner (side branch), let it grow another foot
in length and then prune it off. This will send the energy in this branch mostly
to the fruit and not be wasted on producing leaves and stem beyond the fruit.
We here at Alaska Bounty
certainly do appreciate our readers and your desire to get better
educated on organic growing.
This past week we introduced you to some pretty technical information
that may have overwhelmed some of you. Our intention is to break down this
complex, overwhelming system into manageable parts and simplify it into terms
we can all understand.
As we continue into the learning on this subject, we will bring
you lots of detail, but then try to make simple comparisons
to commonly known systems.
To summarize last weeks newsletter, we have learned the foundational
needs of plants and then provided a method of producing and applying
those needs (mineral rich nutrients) to the plants for their benefit. This
week let’s dive a little deeper into the subject and see what we come up with.
Feature Article
Today
we have Part 2 of our 3 part weekly series that will introduce
you
to the system John is now using.
Alaska
Bounty, VAM Mycorrhizal and the Soil Food Web
Part
2- Alaska Bounty Humus Tea
1.
Endomycorrhizal fungi work jointly with Alaska Bounty's microbe-army
in several ways:
A.
VAM fungi insure that important minerals processed by aerobic bacteria
will be metabilized through the root system.
B.
VAM fungi produce glomalin, an important carbon based super glue
(produced only by VAM fungi), which holds soil particles together.
This creates excellent soil tilth and moisture retention and additional
food for soil bacteria.
C.
With twice monthly applications of Alaska Bounty onto soils, the
microorganisms quickly dominate and supercharge the ecosystem, and
plants thrive as even more food is moved through the VAM fungi hyphae
network into plants roots.
D.
The Trichoderma fungi also build soil tilth, fight off plant
pathogens, and stimulate more root growth. This larger plant
root system provided more surfaces for the aerobic life from Alaska
Bounty to live on and generate food for the benefit of the plants and
other beneficial life forms.
E.
Alaska Bounty's microbes and aerobic bacteria process minerals and
organic materials in the ground. That process is also a food
source for earthworms, whose populations rise rapidly because their
supply of food is increasing. As they tunnel through the soils,
roots grow out farther from the plants and more air and water seeps
deeper into the soils to sustain the soil food web population.
F.
The soil life that is generated with these products, produce levels
tens of hundreds of times higher than what occurs in nature. We
know that mineral nutrient rich organic material and compost are an
important agricultural input. With Alaska Bounty and VAM fungi,
we are supplying beneficial soil life in high quantities to quickly
process them.
G.
Increasing the soil food web infrastructure enables nutrition for the
plants and a multitude of soil building organisms, such as earthworms
and a variety of beneficial insects. These in turn feed higher
life forms such as birds and mammals. Nature's food chain is
supported and sustained. This is why we call Alaska Bounty a
"Soil Stimulation System".
End of Part 2
In
this article, we have explained more about the process of creating a living soil for our
plants. Next week we will share with you the final step in John's system. We'll
explain more about the benefits of VAM fungi and Soil Food Web. If you just can't wait
to learn more, please visit alaskagiant.com.
There's a lot to see and learn.

Feedback
John,
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how good my lawn and all my
flowers, shrubs etc, look using Alaska Bounty! It seems to have taken care
of the dead spots in my grass and I haven't used fertilizers at all!
Elsie
and I hadn't considered getting too serious about a vegetable garden in
Alaska, but I can tell you, we will now. I am telling a lot of people
about it.
Thanks!

Let's ask John (FAQ)
Q:
Mr.
Evans,
I was wondering if you've used the tea on other plants besides veggies
(annuals, perennials, flowerings, ferns ...)?
Thanks,
Donna
A:
Dear
Donna,
You can use our product on all plants, annuals, perennials, veggies,
fruit trees and lawns. We have not found a plant yet that it
cannot be used on. However, when applying it on foliage you will need
to be careful on dilution ratios for certain plants.
John
Q:
I really
enjoyed your segment on HGTV this weekend. How do I apply your
compost tea to my lawn and how much do you think it will take?
Sincerely,
Al
A:
Dear
Al,
I'm glad you liked the segment in Garden Giants this weekend on HGTV.
Our product works great on lawns as well as gardens. One quart of
humus tea has a 1000 square foot coverage area. This is
best/easiest applied with a hose end sprayer that can be purchased at a
local Wal-Mart or lawn and garden store. You cannot overdo this
product so you can use the widest setting on the sprayer if you would
like.
Best Wishes,
John
