Protozoa Questions
If you all have any additional questions about the discussion let me know and I’m happy to answer any. Furthermore let me know if going through a sample slide is something you all would like to do in the future.
Prepper or Permaculture?
Do you prep? Ive curious in a permaculture group how people feel about preparing for hard times. Id like to get your opinion on the matter. The more permaculture I do, the more I tend to prep for potential events.

@Stefano Creatini my friend that helped me setup my array is big on gas generators. If you want a smaller temp system for minor circuits I would recommend a main breaker manual transfer switch that will cover your essential electrical needs and you can run it off a basic gasoline, propane, electric or diesel generators. Typically under $1000 for most setups but gives you the option to have some kind of basic backup system.

January 11th Webinar: Fungi in Soil
Hello everyone! I was glad for the amount of feedback and questions you all had for the last webinar. Next month we will be discussing fungi and it’s importance and function in soil. Would like to know what questions you have regarding fungi and this powerfully important microbe in our environments.

@Mike Bielesch adding more carbon to soil for fungi to feed on supplies them with the better ability to maintain in your soil. This can include straw or wood chips. Also carbon rich compost will additional aid in maintaining good fungal biomass. Reducing or eliminating tillage is a good practice to keep the fungi you already have in the soil as well. Fungal dominant compost is typically high in diverse kinds of woody materials. After the compost is made, watered, turned and allowed to mature is when fungi grow in numbers (maturation phase). You can also take small pinches of understory soil from local areas in your region, that are typically undisturbed by people and have lush growth and add them when starting a pile of compost or after the heating phase. If looking for fungal dominance look in the dense areas of trees and shrubs. If your looking for fungi for your garden and annuals take small bit at the visible edge where the forest trees and grassy meadows meet.

I like to follow North Spore for the information they provide on their website for books and their YouTube channel as well. Although you may want to look for a book specific to your region that edible mushrooms grow. Little hint, if you can and do find edible mushrooms while foraging you can cut the bottom of the mushroom to re-propagate back into the soil to allow it to continue to grow and spread its spores in the area. Additionally you can dice them up and add them to your mulch areas of your garden that are similar to the vegetation that you found them in nature. Hopefully in time you’ll have the same growing naturally in your garden. If you reduce tillage, this will definitely help keep fungal biomass in higher numbers in your garden while also adding fungal foods like wood chips, straw or leaf mulch as they are fungal foods.
Bacteria Question
Does anyone know if this form of bacteria will kill off citrus? Sierrata marcescens bacteria Someone just tested their air/glass jar catch for the day of January 1st and this form of bacteria was found. How would this bacteria act with tropicals?

Typically not. Serratia Marcescens is a facultative anaerobe. So it will only survive in oxygen conditions between 4-6ppm. What causes disease in larger populations of trees especially those that are cloned are and/or non-native is a lack of immune disruption to disease causing organisms. Having said that black rot is associated with sweet oranges and can be caused by Serratia Marcescens in some cases. Main takeaway is protect the soil gut, (rhizosphere) where there are competing organisms that will stop the proliferation of a single disease causer.

Our understanding of what bacteria, fungi and all soil microbes is still limited in our amount of accumulated data that Dr Elaine has spearheaded the last 4 decades. But what we do know is that bacteria can and does thrive in multiple conditions including extremely acidic conditions like in Yellowstone National Park in the geysers and sulfur pools to the other spectrum end in the extreme conditions of Antarctica. What you can do is periodically test your produce to ensure the collection of metals are not accumulated in your crops if aerial spraying is applied in your areas. What we are taught is natures microbial workforce is the most sophisticated and highly evolved mechanisms for producing the maximal amount of nutrition in our food and livestock. If we focus on what we can control and help cultivate in healthy soils our ability to help nature produce the most nutritional output we can allow our practices to push passed human fallacies controlling parties may be currently allowing.
