I have the great pleasure of speaking with Gerry for a second time. This time I focus on Emergency Response and Preparedness, which will be a consistent theme for this latest run of the Podcast.
Go to Gerry's website to find out more about what he has going on and his previous work.

Opportunity over mess - clean water in days, healthy food in weeks with Biochar
Contiki Pyroliser to Gasifier
Lismore Flood damages
Worm farm processing:
- Islands in the Stream
- Nutrisoil
Source separated waste

Feraliser - https://www.pilnet.org/case_study/minterellison-feraliser-ltd/ $1 per KG of feral pig, turned into Foliar spray (Hydrolisate).
Hydrolisate - simple biofertiliser foliar spray. Dilute 100 to 1 or 200 to 1 (Quite low PH). 5L per HA.
Organic Nitrogen in the form of Hydrolisate stays where you put it, whereas Inorganic or synthetic Nitrogen is lost at a rate of upto 90% to rain and wind.
Waste Between Our Ears - Gerry Gillespie
Soil as basis for disaster resilience and recovery
Green Cover - https://greencover.com/
Axton's from Canada using multiple grain species to mitigate fertiliser use. Investing in high quality sorting machine instead of wasteful poisons and synthetic fertilisers.

Compensatory payments for Farmers in light of price hikes with low output of high value crops.
Measuring water retention capacity of soil and nutrient density of food as ways of accounting for regenerative practices and paying a premium or compensating farmers in some way.

Carbohydrate for LAB Serum, high amounts in bioferment guides from Gerry are to do with longevity of product and can be reduced quite dramatically.
Various ends covered with the use of weeds for creating hydrolisates. Seeds for creating LAB inoculant and leaves/timber making protein (Macerated) for the hydrolisate.
Fungal skin growing on the top of my LAB serum, can just stir these in (for those wondering!)
1L per 10 Cubic Metre of SPICE. 40% of water and a cup of SPICE for 2 Cubes
Think along the lines of biology, very effective and powerful in very low quantity.
