all the places listed are excellent, i've worked at sequatchie cove, but dont forget the sequatchie valley institute, a well established homestead turned educational nonprofit. i dont know what they're up to these days, but they're a great resource at least. svionline.org

on a related topic, i have 19 acres for sale within walking distance. i'm trying to find appropriate places to list it, as it's of average quality for developers, but an amazing and excellent place for a homestead, with lots of limestone springs and water, timber, open flat land as well as hilly cove-laden land, south facing slopes, adjacent to beaver ponds and trout ponds, a native persimmon orchard, 20 or so cultivated fruit trees, and great soil. if anyone is interested i'll be there this coming week, december 8th-15th, or i'm reachable at quasiperiodic@gmail.com

also if anyone knows better places to list special land like this, i'd appreciate it.

not to be a debbie downer, but the thing about the efficiency bonus is the bogus result of a 13yr old's understanding of electricity without a knowledgeable mentor, and sensationalist press.

please dont set up your solar panels this way.

i've had lots of success with bacterial innoculations in the garden, that is, compost and worm teas.

i suspect you'd get that same effect, though at a lower population density than in a hyperoxygenated tea, and with less absorbtion, as it's not in liquid. otoh, you'll have introduction of more fungal and microfauna allies, both of which are likely to be slow to work, and may not take if they don't have the microbial foodsources they need.

i think innoculation is definitely a good idea, but i'd definitely couple it with a good drenching of compost/worm tea.

i've been doing this for a few years now. it seems to work very well. i used to get massive outbreaks on my hands (which my doctor said was impossible), now i wade through it and maybe get one red bump, in a random location.

i try to only eat the immature red leaves, which means getting on it in the spring, and forgetting about it by midsummer.

i've given a few other people this treatment, and never seen any ill effects.
