Unfortunately the general public isn't aware of many of the practices that go on, which may lead to significant impacts in their health. It's very sad! Sean we completely agree with you.

What's next the US storing other country's Nuclear / Radio Active waste for profit? Oh yeah - we're already doing that too.

]]> Comment on Product of the Month: Non GMO Corn Gluten by admin http://marvinsorganicgardens.com/blog/?p=510&cpage=1#comment-11875 admin Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:06:08 +0000 http://marvinsorganicgardens.com/blog/?p=510#comment-11875 Hi Lori, in regards to shipping, please call us for details regarding shipping details: 513.932.3319. You may want to check with your local Organic-friendly greenhouses to see if they carry this. To answer your question regarding the product, here are a few more details: it can be used in both the lawn and garden. It is known to be extremely effective for weed control when applied in the Spring and Fall when weed seeds germinate. Children and pets can be active on treated areas immediately following application. A 50 lb bag covers 2500 square feet. Corn gluten is used to reduce germinating weed seedlings on lawns, gardens and field crops.  A broadcast spreader works best for application, and comes in granular form.  It slowly releases nitrogen to keep your lawn and gardens full and healthy. Corn gluten also feeds soil microorganisms that help fight soil disease and loosen compaction.  Corn gluten should be watered in after application, and can be worked into the top 2-3 inches of garden soil. This all natural weed & feed product is safe for humans, animals, soil and aquatic life.  Children and pets can be active on treated areas immediately following application.  Avoid spreading corn gluten in newly seeded lawn areas, or areas where biennials may reseed.  Corn gluten will not eliminate existing weeds that are already well rooted.  Corn gluten accumulates in the soil, and increases weed seed suppression every application. Corn Gluten is effective against the following weed seed: 1. Crabgrass
 2. Dandelions
 3. Clover
 4. Foxtail
 5. Purslane
 6. Lamb's-Quarter
 7. Creeping Bent Grass 
8. Smart Weed
 9. Redroot Pigweed
 10. Barnyard Grass 
11. Bermuda Grass
 12. Many additional weeds Hi Lori, in regards to shipping, please call us for details regarding shipping details: 513.932.3319.

The solid form will last centuries, liquids tend to leach and move through soil. As for making BioChar, make 4 fist sized holes in the lower side of a 55 gallon drum for oxygen intake, drill a 2 inch hole in the lod of a metal 5 gallon drum for outgassing, fill the 5 gallon drum with wood pellets to the top, fill the 50 gallon drum with fire wood and start a fire and then place the 5 gallon drum on top of the already lit fire. After 1 hour you will see very hot flames shooting out of the hole in the 5 gallon container, that is the outgassing taking place. When the outgassing ceases, the biochar is ready, typically 7-8 hours of burning. You will need to keep the fire loaded with wood for best results. The biochar will be uniformly black when ready.
