Biofertilisers (fermented brews)

What they are

Biofertilisers are liquid fertiliser with a high range of added minerals which are in balance and have a  stable energy as result of an anaerobic process (fermentation) based in a biological inoculant such as fresh cow manure. Specific microorganisms or minerals can be introduced throughout the fermentation process.  In this way we can adjust the brew to meet the farmer´s requirements to balance out specific deficiencies.

 

This product mimics the processes taken millions years ago by microbes before Oxygen become available in the atmosphere; this means that the efficiency of the fermentation is lower than Aerated processes; the efficiency is to produce around 2 molecules of ATP from each molecule of sugar through the process.

 

The source of energy for the fermentation is from the process in the product by itself ( i.e. the energy derived from the microbes metabolising themselves ), without adding any energy in the form of oxygen into the brew through the process; this feature make a stable product to use as a long term, giving the chance to store it as well. In this sense it is different from aerated teas that develop more rapidly, but are less stable and not possible to store. 


What are biofertilisers for?

These brews are used mostly to feed, re-cover and re-activate soil biology, increase plant fertility and animal health, also encouraging crop protection against pests and diseases.

How do they work?

At the end of the process the product content will contain a high range of available minerals (macro and micronutrients, trace elements ...), Organic Acids, proteins, vitamins, enzymes, carbohydrates, amino acids and different microbiology that will work in symbiosis with the natural processes in the plant and soil, developing and improving a nutritional and biological balance and a natural defence mechanism.

  • Eco Shamanism - Shifting Terrain

    Eco Shamanism One Year Course October 2019 - September 2020

    ’Shifting Terrain'

    3 - 6 October 2018 (scroll down for more dates)

    A year of Eco Shamanism open to all. This series of four long weekends will delve into Weather Shamanism, Micro Intelligence, Eco Linguistics and Dreams and Dreaming with an overlying theme of 'instinction' as opposed to extinction.

    Perceptions, perspectives and paradigms will be challenged whilst we explore "The greater part of the soul which is outside the body" (Sendivogius). Our back drop is our Earth, in which we find ourselves, over and over again. Earth's back drop is the great void of unconsciousness in which she finds herself, over and over again. Expect to come under a spell, spelt Earth.

    Dates: all weekends run from 6.30pm Thursday to 3 - 4pm Sunday

    2019
    October 3 - 6

    2020
    February 13 - 16 / June 11 - 14 / September 10 - 13
