Introducing The Mud Ball, a silent microbial dancer and advocate of symbiosis. It seemingly just sits there. However, it can teach us about human habits and patterns internal and external. It can teach us how we mimic natural microbial symbiotic systems. This giant mobile Mud Ball is an educator and happiness provider.

Today at the Old Stone House in Brooklyn, where I was answering questions and showing design plans, I picked up goji berry, kiwi (M&F), and grape from Baldwin Farm and seeds galore! I also learned that worms are not good for all soil. Old growth forests do not have to have worms since they use […]
I have noticed many leaders with a vision of creating supportive and regenerative communities. Students are leading the way because they are concerned about their air water and soil.

I was visiting the garden to bury my fermented food waste into the new soil beds. This will add lots of goodness to the new soil for growing this Spring. As I walked in I was in-awe with this scene — the configuration in which the candy colored furniture was left in this beautiful array […]

“As a matter of fact this world is going to be saved not by people with long faces, ‘Oh isn’t it terrible, oh …isn’t it awful.’ It is going to be saved by the ppl who say ‘well it sure is terrible, well, let’s do something about it and they got a big GRIN on their face while they are planning some new ESCAPADE which is going to get people together to perform another little MIRACLE.”

MoS Town Hall Meeting: #3 in a meeting series: Bioremedation + Public Space. Thursday, Feb 6, 2014, 6:15 pm
Jimmy’s No 43 East 7th St Back-room. Find supportive links for your projects and visions in ’14. (Stay for hobnobbing at the bar after 9). Day to day we interact with bioremediaton more and more to survive. We have gotten to the point where we need to filter or clean our air, water and soil in our daily doings otherwise it may make us sick. Even ancient civilizations practiced some kind of beneficial succession of their water, air and soil to sustain their people. Now that we are scientifically much more advanced at polluting our natural resources we have also become disconnected from these processes that meet our needs. We must learn to be similarly as innovative at designing scientific systems that will have the by-product of beneficial succession. We can tie the 2 desires if we make bioremediation part of the intention. Public Space and the commons is a good place to tie in this bioremediation.
FFW Questions: “I now have several buckets of FFW [fermented food waste] and lots of questions. 1. Do any of you know of a compost place that would welcome some FFW to feed their worms? and maybe even on the other side give me back some FFW-fed worm compost? 2. If I find some barren soil and bury my FFW there, do I mix the FFW into the soil when I reclaim the FFW-treated soil? 3. Can you send me to a good website so I can learn more? – Grateful & eager, Maureen”
“How do I use my fermented food waste around trees?” Shig replies: For trees, bury at least 3 feet away, and likely you’ll have to dig pits instead of a trench because of the tree roots (for some trees, the roots may go out as far as 3 times its height). Make sure to keep […]
