The next step:
www.gtm-llc has been working on using the correct balance in organic fertilizer to add nutrients and minerals into our Boise, Nampa and surrounding areas soils.
Organic is a buzz word used by many organizations, but unfortunately the regulation of what that word means to the nutrient value in your garden plants is very vague.
The organic farms I talk to often proudly tell me how their food is organic, but when asked if there is the complete mineral loop, needed for healthy food, actually in their soil, I get a blank stare.
We have been working on increasing the minerals in the garden soils over the last four years and several interesting observations are obvious.
1. Plants can be grown with "organic" nitrogen methods which make them grow large and quickly but does not mean we have high mineral and nutrients in that plant.
(to validate this, we challenge you to have Western Labs test your food for nutrient value)
2. We are so used to foods with extremely low nutrient and mineral value, we actually have to adjust our taste buds to get used to truly healthy vegetables.
3. Soil with the correct organic loop is an ongoing process, not as simple as add fertilizer every year and think our bodies are getting what they truly need to fight disease and build our immune systems.
The correct way to build soils with the correct organic loop is to mirror nature as much as possible.
This takes time, time to allow the natural microbes and living biology that transfers mineral content into the plants producing our food.
We have been working on building this through the natural process using worm farms and organic foods reintroduced into the composting process.
Organic Tea needs to be regulated; because is not, there have been a lot of claims and processes not correctly managed. We are dealing with living organisms requiring a constant source of oxygen pumped into them and coming from organic soils with the natural biology high nutrient soil has as stated above.
Green Team Management of Idaho is taking the next step to make it so we can transfer those living organisms and the nutrients in the compost through what is called Organic Tea.
This investment is in oxygenated tanks while traveling down the road, so the organisms area alive, when pumped into the ground, directly to the root matter.
The Enclosed trailer will actually be a lab with the ability to take slides on the spot of your soil and study them on sight with a onboard microscope.
Green Teams goal is to help organic gardens build healthier soils. Healthier for the plants as well as healthier produce for our consumption.
