hi all!

i will be lecturing on the technology culture of beneficial indigenous
microorganisms and bionutrients this july 11  at ISEES univ. of minnesota in
st. paul for the organic aquaculture workshop.  and in august 24, 2003, will
also be doing one at solfest in hopland, california.  ecofarm association of
watsonville, california is hooking me up to conduct seminars and workshops
on the technology while i am in the united states.  i will arrive july 10 at
st. paul and will leave for manila august 28.

i am taking this opportunity to offer this asian natural farming technology
that wiill really empower the american farmers.

if anyone or group that will be interested to take advantage of my presence
in the united states, you can e-mail me.  you can organize an hour lecture
or a whole day hands-on workshop on the said technology.  after st. paul,
minnesota, i intend to visit iowa and philadelphia.  i also have a plan to
visit new mexico.  and most of the time, i will be based in santa cruz,
california.

many thanks folks!

>>Hi all!
>>Since I mentioned to my e-mail to Dr.. Elaine Ingham about the culture of
>>indigenous microorganisms for agriculture, a lot of people have e-mailed
>>me
>>on the booklet.  I am then posting the details on this booklet:
>>
>>Technology of Culturing Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms and
>>Bionutrients for use in Agricultural Crops and Livestock
>>
>>Last January 23, 2003 Gil Carandang of Herbana Farms, a leading organic
>>and
>>natural farming advocate from the Philipines and who recently completed
>>Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture at the University  of California
>>Santa Cruz, had just conducted a workshop on Indigenous Microorganism:
>>Grow
>>Your Own at the annual Ecological Farming Conference in Asilomar
>>(Monterey,
>>California) on full-packed crowd.
>>
>>Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO):  Grow Your Own
>>The recent interest in building microorganism populations for fertility
>>and
>>pathogen control has given many farmers food for thought.  Compost teas
>>are
>>now becoming extremely high in concentrations of beneficial
>>microorganisms.
>>This interest is not so new in Asian countries, however, where "Nature
>>Farming" and "Effective Microorganisms" or EM Technology has been popular
>>for years.  Buying starter cultures of beneficiaal microorganisms can be
>>expensive for farmers.  Now a relatively new movement is empowering
>>farmers
>>with knowledge about culturing, increasing and applying local or
>>"indigenous" on-farm beneficial microorganisms.  Learn the basic theory
>>and
>>techniques for growing these farming companions to help increase yields
>>and
>>reduce problems.
>>
>>"The best workshop I had in 18 years!"
>>- Jim Nelson
>>  Camp Joy Gardens

>>
>>Learn to culture Lacto Bacilli, the workhorse of the beneficial indigenous
>>microorganisms.  Lacto Bacilli arrest foul odors and improve digestion,
>>nutrient intake.
>>-Forest microorganism.  Culture diversed, powerful beneficial indigenous
>>microorganisms from the forest and apply them to your garden and farm and
>>improve soil fertility.
>>-Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms produce enzymes and natural
>>antibiotic
>>that control pathogens like e. coli and salmonella.
>>-Bionutrients.  Fermented plant extracts to improve soil fertilty, control
>>pests and diseases, increase microbial diversity and ecology.
>>
>>Did you know that you can gather plants in your farm and use them as
>>fermented extracts to improve plant growth serving as natural growth
>>promotants?
>>... and many more!
>>
>>The booklet on this amazing natural farming technology is now available.
>>You can organize your own workshop to learn this Asian Natural Farming
>>technology empowering farmers, self-generating their own inputs through
>>the
>>culture of these Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms and Bionutrients.
