growing awareness and having some of the best minds working on the problem is very encouraging.

Actually I don't think I invented it... but I do USE innovation to my own advantage and with my own twist. For example, I grow my tomatoes in cooler climes in bales of straw that have been hollowed out some, filled with sterile soil, innoculated with full spectrum organic fertilizers, bat guano for extra nitrogen to compensate for the carbonaeous nature of straw and the need for extra nitrogen during decompostion process and nitrogen release availability. It's like a solid block of compost that heats the tomato root continually to about 80-100 degree but never dries out. Not once did my tomatoes suffer from lack of moisture and heat. As a result, they are 8 ft tall and LOADED... Once the tomaoted are done, I break the bales and dig the bales into the regular garden beds, all aready to go. I plant my potatoes in a trench filled with pure rotted straw, piling it up higher as they grow and getting 2- 3 times the yield.

I have invented a few things however. And I am surrounded by some pretty smart and practical people. Some of whom in my household even own patent rights.

I was highly inspired by Farmers of 40 Centuries as a mere teen.
