Recently I was on one of our members permi site and came across a video where a notch of bamboo was split in half, cooked white rice was filled into each half, the two half's put back together and then planted back into the ground for an unremembered amount of time. When dug up the contents had multiple types of beneficial bacteria growing in it and was then mixed with water to water the plants. If anyone can point me back to said video I'd be much appreciative.
I do remember going to a site recommended by one of our members on Biodynamics. (I'm assuming the Biodynamics is the style of growing that mixes in spiritual aspects?) Could have been that.
not really. I assume you could use pvc pipe as well, and we usually make to much rice and wind up feeding the leftovers to the birds. Seems a good way to recycle the rice.
Sticky rice is cooked like that and served up with gado-gado in Indonesia . It is sliced into rounds and then quartered and i mistook it for potatoes . enak sekali
Cow shit packed in the horns and left in the ground for 12mths will do what you are discribing also,can't remember the name they gave to it's comercial off-shute..could be dynamic lifter,like I said can't really remember.It was discovered by accident yonks ago.
Preparation 500. Interesting read. A lot of it dealing with cow horn, skull, etc.... Don't think I could get away with it here, as my dogs would dig everything up and have a field day, but I will try and replicate the same approach using pvc and/or bamboo
Some ideas: 1. Put leftover cooked rice in your worm farm (or feed it to the chooks). The worms (or the chooks) will turn it into fertilizer. 2. When Japanese cook white rice, they rinse the raw rice grains three or four times to remove the powder left over from grinding before they steam the rice. This stops the rice going (even slightly) gluggy. Traditionally, the cloudy white rinse water is used on the garden for its nutrients.
Would love to give it to the hens, but the city won't allow anyone to have'em in the city limits. The worm farm on the other hand is something I haven't built yet. On my list tho as soon as I find a local place to get red wigglers. Thing I'm gonna try the cow horn. Can't fault the dogs unless they actually do dig it up.
