• Salt Spring Soil Activated Biochar

    Sold By: Forest Gardens

    Introducing Salt Spring Soil!

     

    A new source for local, regenerative soil building amendments to help you and your plants grow abundantly.

     

    Biochar is a carbon rich soil amendment made from burning biomass in a low oxygen environment to create charcoal. The charcoal becomes biologically active when it is added to the soil and becomes filled with soil micro-organisms, water and nutrients. Biochar has an immense surface area and complex pore structure (a single gram can have a surface area of over 1000 square yards). When added to your soil as an amendment biochar increases the capacity of your soil to store water, hold onto nutrients, and support a healthy soil food web. Biochar is incredibly stable, and can last in the soil for thousands of years if undisturbed. This sequesters carbon more effectively than any other method currently in practice.

     

    Benefits of Biochar

    • Enhanced crop yields
    • Improved soil texture
    • Improved soil water holding capacity
    • Reduction in nutrient leaching
    • Soil carbon sequestration
    • Healthier soil food web

     

    Application

    Biochar can be added directly to your garden soil, but it is most immediately beneficial if it has been ‘charged’ or ‘activated’ with biological activity first. Our biochar has been activated by mixing it in with high quality vermicompost so it is ready to go straight into the ground. If you are working with your own biochar that needs activating you can do so by adding it to a compost pile, or soaking it in compost tea before applying it to the garden.

    Our biochar can be mixed directly into your soil as a light top dressing or it can be added to plant holes before planting. Make sure to water thoroughly after adding biochar so that the life contained in it stays moist and for water to start soaking into it.

  • Salt Spring Soil Compost Tea

    Sold By: Forest Gardens

    Introducing Salt Spring Soil!

     

    A new source for local, regenerative soil building amendments to help you and your plants grow abundantly.

     

    Compost tea is a liquid soil amendment that is packed full of nutrients and beneficial micro-organisms that will make your plants healthier and your soil food web stronger.

     

    We make our compost tea by mixing vermi-compost, water, sustainably harvested kelp fertilizer, and humic acid (the building block of soil humus) together with lots of oxygen in our 60 gallon brewer. The mix bubbles away for 24-48 hours as oxygen is pumped into the bottom of the tank. The combination of water, oxygen, and food in the form of kelp fertilizer, causes the micro-organisms in the vermi-compost to multiply exponentially during the brewing process. What comes out the tap at the end is a plant available liquid fertilizer filled with an incredible diversity and number of beneficial micro-organisms that will help form a healthy soil food web in your garden.

     

    Application

    Compost tea is full of beneficial living organisms and it needs to be applied asap so the organisms have a chance to establish in their new home before they run out of food in the tea. It is essential that you use all of the compost tea the same day you pick it up.

    Apply compost tea directly into soil that contains living plant roots because the micro-organisms need plants to become established in the soil.

    After the tea has been applied to the soil water with non-chlorinated water to help the organisms sink lower into the soil and stay moist.

    Compost tea can also be applied as a foliar spray (on the leaves) to plants that don’t mind having wet leaves. The micro-organisms in the tea will coat the leaves and form a protective layer on the plant, repelling disease causing organisms.

    Seeds about to be planted and plants getting transplanted can both be soaked in compost tea to inoculate the seed or roots with beneficial organisms.

  • Bull Kelp

    Dakini Tidal Wilds’ Edible Bull Kelp, Vancouver Island

     

    Dakini Tidal Wilds’ Bull Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) is harvested by hand off the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island & tested for purity. Seaweeds are among the most nutritive and complete foods and are the most concentrated food source of minerals on the planet. They are nature’s perfectly balanced mineral supplement. Dakini Tidal Wilds offers customers a local choice of seaweed.

     

    Kelps in particular are unique in their ability to safely eliminate certain heavy metals, PCB’s, dioxins and certain radioactive compounds from the body. They do this via a compound called ‘sodium alginate’. This quality makes the kelp family of seaweeds one of the most important sources of protection against today’s most harmful environmental toxins.

     

    One of the most exciting areas of research in seaweeds is with cancer. In particular, a compound called ‘fucoidan’, found in the kelp family of seaweeds as well as other seaweeds in the phylum ‘Phaeophyta’, has shown some very exciting and promising results so far. Winged Kelp is one of the highest sources of fucoidan.

  • Chickpea Miso – Organic

    Organic Chickpea Miso, USA

     

    This short-term aged, soy-free miso uses garbanzo beans (chickpeas) instead of soybeans as its base. It has less salt and more rice koji (rice inoculated with Aspergillus spores) than traditional misos. Reducing the salt speeds up fermentation, while increasing the grain content makes more starch available to turn to sugar, producing a milder miso.

     

    Ingredients: chickpeas, rice koji, sun-dried sea salt, mountain well water, koji spores

It is highly nutritious, easily digestible, and has a distinct grassy flavour and aroma and a slightly crunchy texture when cooked. Quinoa can be cooked and enjoyed like rice but needs rinsing prior to cooking in order to remove excess bitterness. It is excellent in pilafs or in salads such as Tabbouleh. Cooked quinoa is a delicious stuffing for peppers or squash and can be used as a binder for vegetarian burgers or in turkey meatloaf.

  • Red Soy Miso – Organic

    Organic  Red Soy Miso, USA

     

    This miso is aged naturally without temperature control for 12 months in four-ton, hand-crafted Cypress, Redwood, or Fir barrels. The high soybean content in relation to the rice koji (grain inoculated with aspergillus spores) makes it necessary to age this variety through four full seasons because soybeans are more difficult to ferment, with their high protein and fat content, than the high-carbohydrate grains. This gives the aspergillus spores and lactobacillus bacteria sufficient time to completely break down the complex protein and fat molecules into their more digestible constituents.

     

    Ingredients: Organic whole soybeans, organic rice koji (organic rice koji spores, sea salt, water)

Red lentils are the fastest cooking lentil, but they lose their shape easily and become mushy, making them unsuitable for recipes that call for green or brown lentils. Red lentils are commonly used to thicken dishes.

    Matcha is known to be the finest green tea in the world. Shade-grown (to enhance chlorophyll content) and hand-picked, it is made from the finest whole tea leaves. After stems and veins have been removed, the leaves (aka Tencha) are carefully stone ground on artisanal granite mills to produce a very fine (5-10 microns) powder which means you are consuming the entire leaf when drinking Matcha.
