Biostatic uses a high carbon compost as a growing medium for culturing plant symbiotic microbial species.

The presence of living roots shifts the microbial community from one that only decomposes to a community that also supports plant symbiosis. This increases microbial diversity and delivers a biome that supports both nutrient acquisition and disease suppressive soils.

The benefit of using a high carbon compost is the reduction in heavy metal, antibiotic and herbicide contamination risks that are normally associated with waste stream composts.

Tree planters! Biostatic is now available for purchase.

This compost is designed for trees. What's the difference? Adding a hot compost with bacterial dominance can disrupt the fungal networks that trees rely so heavily on. Biostatic is a fungal dominant compost and includes symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi which greatly improves drought tolerance, phosphorus availability, pest and disease resistance and overall health.

It is primarily targeted at ecological restoration as it contains native microbe species collected from healthy remnant forest all over the black all range and upper Mary Valley. But is also beneficial for orchards and perennial gardens.

Biostatic aims to install key microbial species for ecological restoration as well as plethora of endemic microorganisms and microarthropods. Soil ecology, it's conservation and restoration is often overlooked and I believe is vital for a ecological function.

I'm currently taking orders for spring plantings. Pm me if you are interested.

Biobasin revamp

Lately I've noticed plastics such as nylon and polyester in so called biodegradable products such as jute netting and w**d mats. If you threw plastic into the bush it would be called littering. If you put it in the ground with some plants it's called conservation and ecological restoration.

After observing the European honey bee foraging on what looked like myrtle rust, I decide to take a look at some pollen collected by my bees at home and was quite surprised by how many bacteria and fungi there was. I had never considered bees as a means of dispersal for microorganisms.

When it comes to bees collecting rust spores they could be beneficial by reducing the spore load by efficiently collecting them and taking them to the hive where they will consumed and also major vectors by switching from collecting spores to collecting pollen or nectar and not sufficiently grooming in between.

After seeing a lot of boxes around that have fallen apart, I thought I would try my hand at it with a bit of hardwood fence paling. I've seen a few possums in hollows while climbing trees and it always tends to be in a hollow branch so I have tried to mimic that. Also, after obsessing over bees lately, I found that bees like to colonize nesting boxes. I have left a large opening to try and deter feral bees from choosing this as a nest site. Next up will be bat boxes!

It might be time to try my hand at building some boxes.
