Greetings Becky,

Regarding the Sea Solids thing I suggest you contact the
USDA. The USDA has a charter to look into things like this.
The claims I read would immediately get it included on a
priority basis as any soil addendeum that performs like this
would sell by the train load after USDA approval and turn
the agricultural industry upside down.

There are different types of Biofilter Andrei
. trickle filter,
submerged filter, updraft, downflow
. yes so there are filters that
reamin submerged and work. Bacteria can live underwater. There are some
folks who have aeration in their biofilters. As long as the bacteria
have some air, (some oxygen) they are fine.
A search for biofilter types will do U fine. I posted a link just in the
last 2 weeks which had a good overview on biofilter.
Mark same site U said U had copied. Can U help Andrei
. I need to
run
!!
Take care!

There's nothing stopping posting the site "as is" but my pride. I need
help to tag the bookmarks, but a lot of folks who promised initially
didnt chip in, so I tag along. There are thousands of bookmarks, and so
it takes time. If I werent such a "perfectionist" I would just post the

Mark, we've not started roses in our system, but understand it should be
easy to do -- at least according to those reports we've seen.

Are you planning to grow outside?  We have had problems with Japanese
beetles in our outside garden, but never inside.  We do have screening on
all greenhouse vents, and it definitely helps limit the pest insects you'll
have to deal with.

Subject: air and bacteria
From:    Ray Schneider 
Date:    Thu, 09 Aug 2001 07:35:41 -0400

The most recent digest had interesting messages from David Yarrow
praising bacteria and sea salt etc. 
. and TGTX has demoted me from
king to merely major satrap (is that a small sandtrap) -- anyway I
thought I'd jabber a little about such things to demonstrate my total
ignorance.

One of the wonders of science was the development of the periodic table
which demonstrated, this is an over simplification, that all matter was
composed of something like 100 or so elements (there were later
discovered to be determined by the structure of their nucleus) and that
more complex materials were chemical combinations of these elements,
divided into inorganic elements and organic elements, the rich and huge
chemistry of carbon.

Now it is very unclear how life fits into all of this as David pointed
out.  Regardless of how one proceeds, jabbering about evolution or about
creation -- the bottom line is that we don't understand life and its
relationship with non-life worth a darn.  Each and every cell is a
marvel of exquisite design.  The exact role that bacteria or other
microorganisms play in the symphony of life probably needs a lot more
study.  It's useful to point out that something like 200 or so parts of
the human being were declared obsolete (vestigial hangovers from the
evolutionary process) by the early evolutionists and only discovered to
be useful later.  Science has a habit of declaring its current
understanding the final understanding and then absorbing the discoveries
that overturn that view as if they never took it in the first place.
Thus phlogeston died as did the aether and so forth.

The sea salt thing seems to have a good deal of mysticism wrapped up in
it.  Presumably the sea is salt because of the absorbption of all the
dissoluable surface and subsurface elements -- so the content of the sea
is a good measure of the soluable materials on the surface of the
earth.  Given that life formed on the earth in the presence of this
distribution, it ought to surprise no-one that lifeforms reflect this
distribution.  On the other hand, it's a bit of a stretch to then say
that it's optimum for life.  There's a lot of baggage hidden in that
statement.

In my hydroponics hobbyist incarnation, I've seen little indication that
my veggies depend on a lot of bacteria -- although I think it may well
be that a lot of bacteria depend on my veggies -- the issue of course is
which came first the plants or the bacteria?  Since bacteria are tiny
protoplants  I suppose they must have come first.  I think it would be
fascinating to have someone who really has studied the evolution of
plants to chat a little about it.

One thing that has fascinated me is the notion that different fish are
young or old in an evolutionary sense by their feeding habits.  Tilapea
have been discribed to me as an ancient fish because they are apparently
vegetarians and each algae of which there seems to be no shortage.  I'd
like to see this kind of thing summarized in an intelligable manner.  It
seems like carniverous creatures can only develop after there is
something to carniverize and so forth -- so there is a logical structure
to the emergence of various kinds of life forms regardless of the
mechanism, as time goes on.

I am just thrilled to death with my jalepeno peppers -- I only have two
plants but they are sooooo

 beautiful and taste soooo

 good!  I
took ten into work and people fell over themselves to snatch them up.

I don't quite know where I'd put fish.  I really want to do some fish,
but they seem to require so much more care than plants that I'm afraid I
would not be a very responsible fish person -- feeding fish, monitoring
their environment -- if you don't do it right -- boom! floaters
everywhere.  Also since I don't have a greenhouse or an environmentally
controlled building (other than my house) I'm not sure how to begin.
Any suggestions?

Meanwhile, nature is more wondrous than our science knows.  We are still
discovering things about how this marvelous world works.  We should try
real hard not to develop the hubris that because we understand a little,
therefore we understand it all.

Cheers, Ray

David,
About 2 years ago I did a comparison of prices from Johnny's vs. FEDCO
for all of the varieties I was using in my mesclun mix and FEDCO's
prices were higher on just about everything.  It oculd be that, for
some varieties they are still repackaging Johnny's stuff rather than
sourcing their seed directly from suppliers or simply don't have the
volume to get the same price breaks.  It pays to compare pricing.

I'm a little perplexed by some of the statements about sea solids. Sounds
too much like snake oil. For example, the statement that human blood has the
same elements in the same ratios as sea water is false. The most common salt
in salt water and blood is sodium chloride. However, in sea water it's found
at anywhere from 25 to 35 parts per thousand. In blood it's at 9 parts per
thousand.

In addition, I seriously doubt the statement that few ocean creatures
develop degenerative diseases. If this is the case, then why do salmon
farmers have problems with diseases? Why are beluga whales dying in the Gulf
of St. Lawrence? The reason you and I see few wild animals at all with
degenerative diseases is because they get picked off. Survival of the
fittest. This is as preposterous as the ads selling shark cartilage for
cancer treatment. They proclaimed, "Have you seen a shark with cancer?" Of
course the average North American would say no. They could count the number
of sharks they've seen on their fingers.

Pete,

  Actually about every fish we bring into the Monterey Bay Aquarium goes
through quarantine for 30 day to rid it of parasites (generally isopods in
the gills) during endoscopic procedures almost all have worms and several
appear to have some type of vascular problems.
  Where are you located in BC?  I'm toying with the idea of visiting salmon
farms in BC next summer. to gather info. I belong to the Monterey Bay Trout
and Salmon Project where we have a hatchery to reintroduce severely depleted
stocks into local rivers and creeks

  On a note of shark cartilage used for cancer cures
. PT Barnum said it
best.

Seems to me that the level of blood salinity would be more related to organic limits of respiration. Don't know about the disease or health factor of fresh vs saltwater organisms, I have caught lots of fish with those gill parasites from the ocean, some spots hold more parasites than others as far as I've noticed and heard. One other thing I've heard is that andromodous fish, or at least in the case of sacramento delta striper, are rid of the gill parasites after returning from spawning in freshwater. >From this I surmise that any creature who can tolerate various extremes will benefit from the transitions.

Back when I was in college at NCSU this was explored rather in depth, even to the point that the lead professor researching the concept had our class produce an engineering paper on the process (he was trying to see if someone might offer a lead that helped them past a few stumbling blocks, as they had reached a standstill -- it didn't). In the end, the technology was termed innovative, but difficult to implement because of numerous technical hurdles. Surprisingly the largest was the inability to stop leaks in the system. This after exhausting what I seem to recall was a $2.5 million grant on the program. While I don't want to sound discouraging, and I hope Yogi does succeed in the end, I believe this will end up at a dead end, just as in the past.

Seed prices depend on variety, size and organic vs conventional, or multinational vs local source. There can be between 20 to 30 varieties in the mesclun mixes. For large quantities Johnys is generally cheaper. For smaller quantities FEDCO is cheaper. The ingredients in each company's mixes vary - some are of higher quality than others. Its like comparing prices of apples and oranges. It not the same thing! Johnny's prepackaged mixes are definately cheaper, but the quantity of ingredients vary. There are many factors in lettuce seed - ie Is the seed resistant to lettuce mosaic ? Seeds that are not tested to lettuce mosaic are less expensive. How does each variety taste? Many farmers make their own mesclum mix by selecting their preferred varieties. FEDCO does not repack mesulan items from Johnnys. FEDCO buys no more than 5 items from Johnny's out over 800 varieties offered. Varieties such as bright lights chard, (which is repackaged from Johnny's) can be added by the farmer to enhance a mesclum mix. There is an additional aspect - FEDCO is a 60 % consumer and 40 % worker cooperative that share respectively in all profits !

I for one dont have a clue about bluegills. I recently wrote to a few fisheries trying to get answers about a fish I didnt know about and in their busy schedules, someone responded. Another option is writing an institution or a known breeder. For someone to want folks to buy their breed they will be more than happy to tell you a bit about their experiences. Maybe the groups experience with varied species is not as wide as you could think hence the silence. Most folks here grow tilapia. Sincerely . ><{{{*> Mike Barnett <*}}}>< JAMAICA, West Indies
