Tricking Your Strawberries Into Growing Bigger

If you want brilliant strawberries, use their own colour to outsmart them.

Using Microbes is very important. Most people take our drinking water from the tap for granted and thus forget it has been treated with chlorine so we never have to worry about pathogenic microbes cramping our style.

What is soil? – Soil pt.1

Put simply, soil is quite possibly the single most important resource to human survival.

Soil is front and centre to planet earth and everything living on and in it.

NPK vs CHNOPS and The Magic of K+Amino

The technologically based tools/systems designed for observation and related data management that we humans have developed over more recent years in our evolution, have and is, continuing to bridge some of our innate biological limitations.

What is Clay? – Soil pt. 4

Often seen as a complex component of soils for growers, at a very basic level clays are essentially little bits of rock and minerals/silicates. Unlike the previous two major components of the worlds’ soils, clay contains a slight electrical charge, we will discuss the possible fallouts and benefits of this as we progress this blog.

The Biology of Plant Transpiration and VPD

As a grower, one of the most important things to understand is plant transpiration and one of the handiest skills is learning to play within the boundaries of the drying power of your air, otherwise known as Vapour Pressure Deficit, or Difference.

Carbon Conundrum @ COP26

Do not fall into the narrative trap where you imagine owning an electric car or a new boiler is going to save us from climate change.

We as a planet emit 130 billion tonnes of carbon a year. We draw down 120 billion tonnes through existing biological systems such as trees, plants, and microbes. This means we have a 10 billion tonne deficit each year.

The imaginary phosphorous crisis

We at Better Organix know a simple truth, there is plenty of phosphorous (P) in the world, we do not need to continually add it, rather we need to be better at getting it from the abundant fixed pools all around us, in to the active and soluble systems, where we can benefit from its presence.
