GardenMagic Ion Soil Tablets

GardenMagic Ion Soil Tablets is John Thomas’ answer to challenges inherent to classical, biodynamic gardening.

Biodynamics is about energy manipulation; meaning, helping plants to grow healthfully without disease or insect infestation and superior food crops that energetically surpass organic food by every possible measurement.  In other words, food with higher energy profiles; energy levels so high that insects and diseases cease to be a problem.  High energy food can be measured with a brix meter, but vibrant, tasty food says it best.

GardenMagic Ion Soil Tablets is the superior-way to grow biodynamic food in a garden, flower bed or pot.

Biodynamically grown food has superior keeping qualities and unbelievably good taste and nutritional profiles.  Food that shames conventional and so-called, organically grown food.

Biodynamic principles are challenging for traditionally trained gardeners to comprehend for the same reasons conventional and alternatively trained medical practitioners fail to understand the ‘energetics’ of health and human, body physiology.  Commonly practiced gardening techniques and use of NPK synthetic fertilizers and poisonous sprays are unneeded and problematic concepts that have no place in biodynamic gardening.

How To Build Patio Garden Buckets & Beds

1. Drill three 1/2“ holes in the outer perimeter of bucket bottoms. Cover holes with old stocking or window screen so excess water can drain.
2. Fill bottom half of bucket with a blended mix of common, soil, potting preparation and sand, and add a few handfuls of composted, chicken manure compost at the half-full level.
3. Fill bucket with soil mix, adding a handful of gypsum to the top 2” of soil. Leave 2” of space above soil; don’t overfill.  Then, place three ion soil tablets just below soil surface and water bucket gently several times until water emerges from the bottom.
4. Next, place six seeds on soil and cover lightly with potting mix. [Do NOT water again until plants emerge; then water gently until plants gain some size and are well established.]. Thin plants to ONE PLANT PER BUCKET, using scissors to trim excess plants at soil level Do NOT pull plants and disturb soil bed.  Or, simply start plants and transplant them when they are ready.  [In the garden, seed a 12” square and transplant plants to pre-marked locations later for even spacing and easy care.]
5. When final plant is well established [2” tall], scratch two handfuls of composted, chicken manure into topsoil along with some BioCarbon Complex and a teaspoon of table sugar to catalyze bacterial activity. [Wear gloves and DO NOT breath dust]. Drainage indicates plant/soil hydration needs are adequate.  [You may need to improvise a catch-pan for drainage.]
6. In Spring and during cool weather, give plants full sun and water daily. In HOT weather, reduce sun exposure and flood water 2x/day.  WHEN GOING AWAY, bury an inverted liter water bottle with a ‘loose’ cap and excised bottom in each bucket; fill with water and allow water to slowly release into soil.  Dehydration stresses plants the same way it stresses the human body.  Pay attention to hydration.
7. Allow kale to grow big, full-sized leaves. Over-harvesting and dehydration stifles growth and cause plants to bolt and become woody.  Plant multiple buckets for best harvests.  Kale is very, frost-hardy.
8. Bugs and disease don’t bother Russian-red kale. These plants are tough and sweeten with cold.
9. When growing non-hybrid, heritage tomatoes, go easy on the chicken manure and put a support pole in bucket as you fill it to avoid doing damage to the plant’s roots later. Tomatoes are best when picked full-red and allowed to ripen inside for a few days before eating.

Garden Magic Ion Soil Tablets allow gardeners to grow superior food in today’s polluted, world environment.
