This is total BS. I heard about this and contacted the head scientist at EMRO and asked where this information came from. He said it came from some of their customers. I asked if they used microscopes. He said no. He is acting sheepish at this point and asks if I will test it for them. I say sure and give him my address for a sample because I can only (now) get SCD product in BC. The sample never came.

I can tell you that I've added AEM to ACT and watched protozoa explode.

There is so much bullshit out there!

I've used AEM (EM fermentations) in soil 10 to 30 days prior to ACT successfully many times.
Thank you for the real answer to these claims......

You did better with EMRO than I did about 3 years ago - I think I was talking with my ol' buddy from another customer service outfit - Bengali Bob

CC, I got some wonderful shots driving south along the coast where sky and fog and sea were indistinguishable and the bluffs just dropped. It was amazing.

I've just sent them a note asking why they are still publishing this statement.

I spend as much time 'over at the coast' as possible as the expression goes around here.

Newport Bay is great because you can buy fresh fish right from the boats - about as fresh as it gets. A group of us go crabbing a few times during the season which is pretty fun. The first of the Dungeness crabs are hitting the fish markets though the major commercial harvest has been delayed for 3 weeks to increase the meat content (Pacific Marine Fisheries)

Some great hiking trails off of PCH as well as the Coast Trail which goes from Astoria down to the California border. All done by volunteers and private donations which is pretty cool I think.

Logically, as a Zen Buddhist, one could ask, why would a facultative anaerobe preserve the life of aerobic bacteria/archaea & aerobic protozoa? Would that not be similar to a tiger keeping a pound of hamburger or cute lamb safe? That is just the beginning...

I like that area quite a bit. There's enough population to have real stores and services but just a few miles south and you're in the wilderness right along the coast highway.

The area between Devil's Lake down to Depoe Bay and then down to Neport - lots of nice areas. Newport is the largest city on the Oregon Coast with the possible exception of Coos Bay which you do not want to live at or near. Old port city that's seen better days.

Best to really enjoy rain however - LOL

Very Good.

My Newly developing Organic Soil Brain is telling me that there is no way you could keep aerobic bacteria alive without air.... and for 10 days? Crazy. Glad I questioned the info.

Now... where is that Damn UPS guy, it's getting late already.

Oh! and one more question?

On the Teraganix website most of their applications are instructed with using straight EM1

I'm guessing this is because they want you to buy more?

That seems crazy, I'm going to activate a small amount and use the fresh activated EM-1 instead of the bottled EM-1.

Just blows me away the website wouldn't mention Activated EM-1 in all of their application instructions... hell, even on the how to activate page, http://www.teraganix.com/Activated-EM-1-s/261.htm, they don't mention why.

I found this disclaimer with the wrong link (Activated EM-1 was highlighted as a link)...

***As will all solutions on this website using EM-1, you can use Activated EM-1 at the exact same application rates as EM-1.***

Mile High; Do you know how to ferment?

I do 1 part EM: 1 part molasses; 18 parts no chlorine water - keep at 94 to 104 degrees for 5 days or until pH drops to 3.4 (3.5 is acceptable) or lower. I screwed a light fixture into lid of cooler and use compact flourescent 100 watt equivalent and 2 liter pop bottles filled with tiny air space with caps on tight...loosen to offgas and tighten with a slight mild mix daily (just upend the bottles once)

This is for soil, not ingestion.

Uncle, it would be weird living in a small town like that for me. I mean, I'm in the middle of nowhere, but the Oregon coast felt intensely weird and empty as an East Coast guy. Couldn't quite figure who visits all those little cottage hotels along the coast. Seriously, amazingly underdeveloped in regards to people. I'm really interested in the whole area.
it seemed teeming with people when i was there,of course i had been working on an island in alaska with a year round population of 23 people...
good little surf break right there at hubbards creek,theres was a half decent library,the grocery store had a number of cases of pretty good vintages they were selling for peanuts,and the guy down the road had some good buds...plus i had an awesome secret oyster mushroom patch....

I stay at a friend's cottage (as in about 700 s.f.) in Yachats (pronounced Ya Hotz - native American tribe) which sits on a lonely bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. All you can see is water and sky because trees block the view down to PCH, i.e. no houses or hotels to deal with.

I like staying there alone for several days at a time - pure isolation.

that town is just so bloody charming,its almost nauseating! really a most excellent spot for some serious porch sittin

It's hard to explain. Here on the east coast, even if you manage to live in a place with barely double digit population density, even if the huge cities are far away, so much east of the Appalachians is PACKED. The Oregon coast felt incredibly isolated to me, and I suspect this is mostly from my personal experiences on the East Coast.

I've been wanting to ask you guys about Oregon's mmj program. I understand it's more difficult to get a card there. Those of you willing to answer: do you have a legitimate medical need, are recreational card prescriptions as common as CA, and I guess the roughest question is have I just been assuming you guys are legal at state level?

i used to live out east,i understand what you mean,i can barely stand to go back there its too crowded for me...you want to talk empty land you should see new mexico,its just mile after mile of nothing but mile after mile....literally millions of acres of BLM land everywhere here,oregon is quite crowded in comparison...

Stress, insomnia, headaches, "overall well being" - I couldn't imagine it any easier to get a medical card than California. Maybe it is different from doctor to doctor though, and did you know there is somewhere in the area of 6,000 storefront dispensaries?

What is it like in or, wa, co? Also, the "line" is wayyyy too vague around here, if ya know what I mean....

If you get stopped by a cop in a med state, and you have a few clones in the passenger seat, can he still arrest you, or will he honor your card?

I am under the impression that in many cases the mmj laws only act as defense in court and you are still subject to arrest.

I think the best answer is it depends and is very circumstantial, county to county, the cops mood, the level of ignorance on both sides....

...all I know is the doc told me "just try not to travel with more than like 6 or 8 pounds". LOL

That actually varies county to county and sometime town to town. My county/area/city will not arrest you with a few clones and a med req.

A few years ago if the CHP pulled you over and seen clones/MJ in your car, you would be arrested and items confiscated. Then goto court and have the charges dismissed (or whatever). But ASA sued their punk asses and the CHP don't do that no more. They let you go on your merry way. As long as you have that req.

In San Fran I walk around with a joint in my mouth no prob...Police pass by and sometimes honk but they don't even pull you over... (My experiences)

I know of at least one court case where the words "medical marijuana" aren't allowed, the jury decides their verdict no different than the average street dealer (big time dealer). Super nice fuckin people too, couldn't imagine wanting him put away for years nd years.....
