Nutrient Dense Crop Production
me with Dan Kittredge
I went to a workshop sponsored by the Regional Farm and Food Project out of Hudson, NY. It was awesome, the first of six, and better yet, I did not have to buy any books! Altho’ he had some I would love to get. Daniel Kittredge is from the Real Food Campaign, and was very knowledgeable. “Nutrient-Dense is a production system based on Biological Agriculture to create an optimum environment for crops to grow at their maximum potential, and thus yield foods and feeds with reliably superior nutritional content.” He talked about the chemistry involved in plant growth, synthesizing protein and other nutrients and how the soil mineralization needs to be balanced. Also discussed amending soil and potting soils, what to use when making own. We then went to the greenhouse for inoculating seeds, and talked little more about potting soils. Altho’ the day was long, it was full of information, and am looking forward to attending the remaining workshops, since he is a “hands-on” type of instructor.

Kristine, What you described about the workshop that Daniel gave sound as though it was extremely rewarding and I hope that others throughout the country and world are learning about also. Every day so many plants and trees die because of being fertilized with the wrong products and from being planted in an area that they’re not suited for. It’s great to see someone that loves the work that they’re doing.
Sincerely,
Stanley

Land gardens are very beautiful but Water Gardens share in the beauty also. If you visit aquaticgarden.net you will see what I mean.
