---Hello Suze, I just haven't caught up with Dr. yet. He

and Dr Ingham are conducting research and appprox.$700 4 day

seminars. They apparently have some very worthwhile info. See some

of their papers in ACRE's, USA publications(and Sally is published

there too!). And Dr Skow's book, Farming in the 21st Century is one

of my most used references. However, the soilfoodweb is exciting

cause in productive soil, it's bacT,fungi etc, take care of lots of

things naturally. I still have problems with weeds (I don't know much

about compost)and we still need moisture in a timely manner as well

as aerated soils. So far I am listening (on about my 4th listen to

them)

to soilfoodweb's cd's in some spare time on the job and applying

compost tea on some crops(on the farm). There's some benefits to a

LABORatory job. Dennis Kemnitz
