Cathedral 5 | Brewing Biology
from Bitcoin And | Bitcoin & Economic News Hosted by David Bennett | Bitcoin & Economic News
Bitcoin analysis and economics of bitcoin update. Today’s replay continues the Cathedral series with brewing biology, compost tea, biochar, subsoil injection, foliar spraying, endophytes, soil microbes, and the idea that fertility should become infrastructure instead of another input bought in a bag. This one connects Bitcoin to long-term land resilience, food production, and the practical economics of rebuilding soil. Topics for today: Cathedral Part 5 and brewing biology Why soil microbiology drives fertility Biochar as a water, nutrient, and biology battery Compost tea, microbes, fungi, bacteria, and nematodes Biology as infrastructure instead of farm input Bottom-up delivery with keyline plows and subsoil injection Tree-lane injection with a Vogt-style system Foliar sprays, glomalin, endophytes, and plant immunity Turning biology services into an on-farm business Carbon credits, soil carbon, and double-use revenue Get Your Free Comfrey Owner's Manual Here: https://www.bitcoinandshow.com/the-comfrey-owners-manual-is-here/ Help a Brother Out With 5 Star Reviews: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news/id1438789088 Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dsTluNHIPNsXVRghpqxhY Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9ef7d5b6-9137-439d-94eb-8071ec6bf890/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWaKxaQF5Q5WiTq80SBYs_7iLDtleV0rZ Find the Bitcoin And Podcast on every podcast app here: https://episodes.fm/1438789088 Find me on nostr npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd (npub) 6389be6491e7b693e9f368ece88fcd145f07c068d2c1bbae4247b9b5ef439d32 (Hex) Twitter: https://twitter.com/DavidB84567 StackerNews: stacker.news/NunyaBidness Podcasting 2.0: fountain.fm/show/eK5XaSb3UaLRavU3lYrI Apple Podcasts: tinyurl.com/unm35bjh Mastodon: https://noauthority.social/@NunyaBidness Support Bitcoin And . . . on Patreon: patreon.com/BitcoinAndPodcast Find Lightning Network Channel partners here: https://t.me/+bj-7w_ePsANlOGEx (Nodestrich) https://t.me/plebnet (Plebnet) Music by: Flutey Funk Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
