"Healthy soils... could hold up to eight times more water than more depleted soils. And one of the ways to build #healthysoil structure was to let natural matter such as #leaves decompose into it and release #nutrients. Stripping away all the waste from a #garden, then buying #compost to #fertilise it, was counter intuitive."
First off, I'd say none. #grains are among the #food most burdened with #antinutrients. If you absolutely must have bread, though, here are a few pointers.
The Leamington area is home to one of the world's largest greenhouse complexes. The impact on Lake Erie is to somewhat unknown due to the lack of resources for monitoring. The majority of the #nutrients entering #LakeErie is from the Maumee River from a *huge farming watershed, but commercial #greenhouses are a known, controllable point source. One reason blooms have renewed in Erie is because #Phosphorus dominates in dissolved form from agricultural sources. #AlgaeBloom https://thenarwhal.ca/ontario-lake-erie-greenhouse-algae/
#water is a source of essential #nutrients for #bees and this explains their preference for ‘dirty’ water sources containing organic matter, algae etc.
Indeed #honeybees have the ability to and will change their preferred source of #water to an alternative in order to…
