Gut Biology from Food
Gut Biology from Food This article explores how healthy soils and biologically active plants support human gut health. The GBiota system combines minerals, compost tea, and organic matter in wicking beds to grow nutrient-rich vegetables that enhance beneficial gut...
Soils to Grow Food That Will Make Us Healthy
This article explains how healthy soil supports plants that provide essential nutrients and phytonutrients for human health. By understanding and enhancing natural soil processes, we can grow nutrient-rich plants and create resilient, biologically active ecosystems....
Living Soils, Fungal Composting and Health
The food we eat has a dramatic effect on our health. In the modern food system, mega corporations heavily promote highly processed foods that are loaded with sugars, fats, and salt yet low in essential vitamins and minerals. This is a serious issue that contributes to...
Phytonutrients
When I was about 5, I was a naughty boy. We were told that we were not allowed to pick apples from the Coxes’ Orange tree in our garden because they were ‘keepers’, which we needed to save for winter. One day, my parents were out so I picked one and had never tasted...
How I Grow Wickimix
WickiMix is grown based on the practical observation that good soil is formed in the root zone of specific plants. My aim is therefore to select plants which will help form soil. We understand that soil is formed by the synergistic relationship between plants and...
Why WickiMix?
Modern humans are the end result of millions of years of evolution. Our food was generally low in energy, high in fibre and rich in minerals and trace elements. Our bodies are adapted to this diet. A wide range of plants grew together in soil, developing synergistic...
Soils for Wicking Beds
Many people think wicking beds are just to save water; the most important feature however is creating a mini ecology with a complex soil biology which can release nutrients and trace elements in the soil so the plants are rich in phytochemicals to improve health. This...
Health Starts in the Soil & Community Supported Agriculture
Human health begins in the soil that feeds our food and ultimately our gut microbes. Healthy, biologically rich soil creates healthy plants, which support a healthy gut, which supports a healthy intelligent control system. Community-supported models help reconnect...
Intelligent Control System & Blue Zones
Our intelligent control system, shaped by evolution and supported by gut biology, regulates appetite, fat storage, cravings and long-term health. Blue Zone communities — where people live active lives into their 90s and 100s — reveal how feeding this system with...
