Recent astronomical rises in NPK prices and the increasing cost of farm chemicals signal a need to retune our strategies and explore alternatives. It’s now time to consider fertiliser efficiency, review mineral requirements and optimise all inputs. It may also be time to recognise the role of soil life in your profitability equation. In this final episode of Season 2, you will discover a host of tips and strategies to fast-track that super productive transition. The final human health segment for this year focuses upon your home garden as your ultimate wellness tool. Here, you will recognise that building soil health in home food production can seriously enhance the health of your family, your community and your planet.

Following on from last month's episode, here we continue to explore the potential of Plant Growth Promoters (PGPs). This information may be particularly timely in light of the massive price hike in NPK fertilisers and farm chemicals – perhaps it's now time to consider alternative yield-building strategies. In this episode, we focus upon chitinase and the capacity of this enzyme to boost protection and production. We will also look at liquid vermicast, and the exciting potential of this low-cost, DIY inoculum, as a PGP. The human health component further illuminates pathways to avoid the death of desire. Here, we will consider the health and longevity benefits integral to the reclamation of lost libido.
