Ernest Gotsch turned a land with poor, sandy soil into a forest that produces food at the same time - including cocoa, and one of the world's finest and most expensive cocoa beans at that.
"One of the most aggressive activities on the environment is agriculture. But there is knowledge and technology to do things differently."
"Agroecology is a major tool in fighting climate change"
"Poor soils don't exist." -- Ernest Gotsch
One key element in Gotsch's system is pruning - constant pruning replenishes the soil and fertilizes it, removing the need to bring in fertilizer from the outside.
"Pruning brings several benefits. It makes plants increase root activities, changing its mycorrhiza (relationship between fungi and plant roots). One of the consequences of the new metabolism is the production of gibberellic acid, which induces plants to grow."
"New growth strengthens their symbiotic relationships with bacteria and fungi, resulting in nutrients production. This process is the fertilization of the field."
"Pruning has a third effect on plants. The photosynthesis rate of pruned plants is higher than non-pruned ones. Higher photosynthesis means more sequestered carbon, and it also means that more sunlight is used, cooling the environment. Cooler environments mean more water. "
The soil's ability to hold water is enhanced, evaporation is reduced, and irrigation becomes unnecessary.
This is the start of a new relationship between man and nature, one that doesn't rape the land of its health in order to feed humanity.
Hydroponics is growing plants without soil, using a nutrient solution as the growing medium. Aquaponics is using aquarium water as the growing medium (for water loving plants like lettuce) or at least for watering the plants.
Aquaponics has 2 inputs: water to replace that which evaporates (around 5% per month maybe), and fish food. When fish poop into the water, the poop contains nitrogen, which serves as fertilizer for your plants.
Making your own fish food
Fish food is cheap, and of course you can grow plants that can serve as fish food. What's important is the bacteria in the poop, because they take nitrogen from the air and put it in the water, making it available to the plants.
Or you can raise chickens, and feed their poop to the fish. Then you can raise corn and feed that to the chickens. That way you won't have to buy fish food. The problem is that unless the chicken poop directly into the water, your setup can get a bit smelly. Maybe you can raise ducks instead, because ducks live in water... some of the time. Then maybe I can sell the duck eggs. Ducks are hardy and don't get sick easily.
Or you can feed kitchen scraps to the fish. And / or the ducks. =D Maybe you can choose a fish that are good at eating vegetables and meal scraps. Like perhaps catfish, which are scavengers. Or shrimp. Catfish and generally all scavengers (including ducks) are hardy and resistant to disease.
About growing corn and feeding that to chickens, corn produces a lot of hay. Hay is good if you have cows, otherwise you're wasting a lot of energy if you take your energy from indoor lighting. (On second thought, you can use hay as compost material.)
So much complexity just to avoid buying commercial, chemical laden fish food. Maybe I'll just go with the fish food plus kitchen scraps in the beginning. =D
This article chronicles my journey of learning aquaponics from youtube. I'll be posting the videos I find very helpful and educational.
This video shows a hydroponics system during the first quarter of the video. At the 2nd quarter, the narrator starts to speak about agriculture as an investment. He says ain investment of $606 in PVC pipes and other equipment will allow you to grow 800 crops in a very small area indoors. Used to plant peppers, this can give you $10,000 in profit every 3 months "if you're lucky", he says. What he says next blew me out of the water. =D
He says
"Maybe you'll find that peppers are a kind of currency and you can become POWERFUL in your neighborhood." LOL!
"Money may not be safe in the bank, and if you're looking for a banking system that grows your money fast and doesn't give others direct access to your account without due process of law, maybe this is the haven you've been looking for. When you put your money into THIS bank, there is no inflation, because the federal reserve can't devalue your life savings by counterfeiting money with theyr QE1, QE2, QE3, QE4, QE5 baloney.
Why do I look at this as an investment? BECAUSE THERE IS GROWTH. I like growth. I NEVER SAW ANYTHING GROW VALUABLE FASTER THAN A SEED.
Amazing words. Anyway, this can get you started if you have no idea what hydroponics is.
The next lesson is about Aquaponics, or using fish to fertilize your plants.
CHOP means (Constant Height One Pump). It's a simple way to get water from your aquarium into your grow beds and back.
This video is made by Leafy Gills, which is the educational outreach program of PerfectGardens.com. Perfect Gardens sells agricultural / aquaponics equipment, and their store is a great way to acquaint yourself with the equipment. Their website also provides help for beginners.
This is a 30 minute video set in Hawaii. They got fed up with stale food shipped from California, so they grew their own. Anyway this video shows how aquaponics can fail. Important information before you start investing in fish, which can be expensive, and which can die if you do it wrong.
Something mentioned here is the Green Malbar Spinach which is a perennial edible vegetable, which means it doesn't die after one season / harvest, and you can harvest it regularly without replanting it.
Another thing mentioned is root rot, which happens to plants which are not used to so much water. Roots rot when roots can't breathe, that is, when they're constantly submerged. To combat this, there's this thing called a Bell Siphon Valve which is explained somewhere around 12 minutes into the video.
The most recent episode of Cosmic Disclosure by Corey Goode and David Wilcock (watch here: www.blueavians.com) discussed a bit of how the "powers that were" used wheat as a weapon against us. Wheat was manipulated into containing thyroid hormones that block the energy production in our bodies, causing us to be depressed, and "requiring medical (ahem pharmaceutical) assistance".
Not all reptillians are vicious, agressive beings. Some are compassionate. There is one interview by Kerry Cassidy of one escaped Illuminati asset whose handlers were humans, and that said that she had received more compassion from reptillians than humans. As a child, she had experienced so much pain in the hands of her handlers, but during a visit to a starship, a reptilian said something like "This is the only assistance I can give you" and blocked her painful memories of her childhood.
Anyway, here's an interview of another reptilian female. This reptilian is not from space, though they have developed technology to go to space and colonize our neighboring planets. They evolved from the dinosaurs, and therefore 100% terran, but they now live underground and stay away from us humans.
The interview is more than 2 hours long and contains a TON of information. I believe it to be highly accurate.
If you haven't heard of Corey Goode, you're missing out on the Story of the Century.
The Nazis developed UFO technology but did it too late to win world war 2. So they used their UFOs to escape to Antarctica. From there, they blackmailed the US government into a sort of technology exchange program, and slowly they took over America's industrial infrastructure using bribes. And these business people were very easy to convince, when the Nazis told them that there are asteroids out there that are almost 100% gold.
And the military industrial complex was born. Now, the solar system is theirs to take advantage of. Well, they need to muscle out some aliens who've colonized Mars, but that's easy. Just drop nukes on them.
THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICE BERG. Want to know more?

Here are some videos on Vertical Farming, which means basically indoor farming using artificial light. Benefits include:
The ability to grow vastly more crops per area of land than traditional farming, because have several layers of garden on top of each other, instead of just one.
The ability to grow crops underground or at sea (and the Earth is 70% water)
The farm areas are enclosed, meaning weeds, pests and plant diseases can't get in.
You don't have to transport it very far from where it's going to be consumed, which means that they will also be cheaper (due to minimum transport costs) and very, very fresh.
Your crops are protected from weather and climate, and you can grow them all year round.
The only downside I know of is that they will consume electricity. Free energy devices such as that being produced and taught by the Keshe Foundation may be the answer to this.
Freight Farms
Below are videos of Freight Farms. These things are expensive setups in a truck trailer that you can take anywhere, stack on top of each other, and make food with even in the middle of the ocean. While it's a great proof of concept, not everybody has $80,000 to buy one of these. Instead. the videos further down below show you how vertical farming can be cheap and practical. And doesn't need a truck trailer, just a spare room or basement.
Here is one expert's opinion on what not to do. He says "I prefer the garden tower instead of the tower garden". And that's a tower garden that you see on in the video above.
Below is what he does recommend. He says this is the best garden tower setup he has ever seen:
Grow 53 Plants in 4 Sq Ft with a Garden Tower Vertical Container Garden
John here consumes a lot of the video talking about soil and putting together the best kind of soil for your plants (his soil lesson ends at around 32 minutes into the video). Aquaponics allows me to not think of all of that, but instead just use aquarium water and just plant water plants like lettuce and watercress.
Hydroponics / Aquaponics
Hydroponics is about using nutrient rich water as your growing medium. Aquaponics uses basically aquarium water, with fish poop in it, as your growing medium.
This blog is my attempt to document the articles, videos and other material that I have come across, as a learning track or "curriculum" of the truth that's being hidden from us by the "powers that were". Keeping the "lessons" in bite sized pieces is important, because most people can only swallow so much truth.
It is said that there will be a social or economic cataclysm of some sort, and then there will be massive data dumps proving the existence of a hidden government.
I'm watching Cosmic Disclosure by Corey Goode and David Wilcock on GaiamTV (now known as Gaia.com), and it's been amazing what I've been learning.
And from the looks of it, this is just the beginning.
I'll also add great ideas on how to save the planet, like maker culture, vertical agriculture and the Keshe Foundation's plasma technology.
