J. C. Walker,Jr.'s Comments

I've recently accepted your friend request while having no idea who or whom you may be?

I've tried to message you and this won't happen; so am now wondering how I may de-friend you?

I'm irked to say the least; at what seems cyber-prejudice and community abuses.

Hi JC!  See 'Healing Toxic Soils” - ie aminopyralid contamination discussion on Earth Gardens group -http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/healing-toxic-soils-waters

Most of compliled info from myself, Walter, you, & others is on this EarthGarden group discussion....But not the most recent stuff you have posted in your Aminopyralid group that you may end.   Take a look at EarthGarden discussion, and compare to your Aminopyralid group, to see where I have some info gaps....Or maybe consider writing a blog and preserving your group info there.

Two other discussion links you might review to see if we have some gaps in info & resources are at:

“Compost & animal poo' - http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/compost-animal-poo-organic

“Nourishment...& Fertilizers”- http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/nourishment-soil-amendments

I hope you'll consider attending the October permaculture convergence in park near Port Townsend! http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/northwest-permaculture-convergence Its a great time to come together as a human tribe for camping & sharing info & resoureces.  Thanks for all you do!

Thanks J.C. for your welcome - my first.  I have a lot to learn about mushrooms but am aware of some of their amazing qualities.  I have a general science background with no particular specialty interests.  That means I am interested in everything as they form elements of the web of life.  But as I look at the forest I stop by and size up the trees in their individual characteristics and varieties mindful of the ecological interconnections.  That applies to mushrooms and people too.  Hope to get to know you better in the future.

Thanks for being forthright and welcoming me to the Transition Whatcom community!

JC, could you give me a call. I have a question about the 'shroom thing you gave me after seed packing at Celt's last Sunday. Thanks, Angela 733-3541

WEdnesday sounds great for me, JC.  I will check with Heather and Janaki.  Thank yoU!  --Chris

Hi J.C.,
I talked with Heather and she is not able to come visit your place this Saturday like we had talked about on the phone. Are you free to have visitors next Wed, Thurs, or Fri instead (Feb 2, 3, or 4)? We were thinking we would include a few people (Janaki and one other) who wanted to come to your place before but didn't make it.... only if that is OK with you.
Thank you! --Chris Wolf

 

JC! Awsome youtube post on 'Gardens of Destiny'! I've added to the resource pages within both the Seed-Savers group and Earth Gardens group! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMjGg9GeKPk&feature=player_embedded

My breathing deepens when I watch this!

Hi JC ! Good to see you again down in the lower valley at Inspiration this Sat! 

 I'm still sorting seeds for the Sunday Seed-Swap.  After that I'd enjoy carpooling with a few folks up to your fungi forest sanctuary & lab to help out!   Lets get in touch after the swap!

 

J.C. Hope to see you in the forest around Deming sometime. I am here most Tuesdays from 1:00 to 3:30. I am excited to learn more about the world of fungi and how to integrate them into my garden and shady yard and see what projects you have going. I would enjoy helping out any way I can.

Janaki

J.C. I won't be attending your event today. I hope to meet you in the near future.  Thanks for doing this work.

That is excellent, JC. Jean Melious has my vote. please keep me posted on your myco-remediation ideas and projects. i am very interested in them.

Hi J.C.
Yes, I have areas which are still growing with Aminopyralid in it. I think the highest concentration is in 5 gallon buckets with a 50/50 mixture of Smit's affected compost and peat moss which I am growing tomatoes in. Most of them have pretty bad leaf curl and aren't doing much. I should have gotten rid of them long ago, but I did not. I was planning to dump them out and spread it on the lawn. I would be glad to give you some if you would like. I am on the Blaine / Custer border off of Birch Bay / Lynden road, but I go to Bham often. Let me know.

J.C. i will be happy to be present and do what i can. knees and back not great, but i'm excellent at encouragement. let me know more at katie a t imt dot net and i'm hoping the 'shroomies can get together.

i look forward to meeting you, J.C. I hope that the mushroom folk can get together soon.

Hi J.C. Can we swap emails? I'm swamped with both TW messages & email, and I'd be better able to track our TW message discussions through personal email, and then we can include Juliet & Chris and any interested fungal aware gardeners/farmers.
I'm not able to respond to all my TW messages, since would have to sign on to TW site each time I do. I'll be available for a little while by phone today.
I have a couple ideas of at a few folks who might be willing for you to use part of their garden for mycoremediation, but they don't live near you. Best for us to talk on the phone.

Hi J.C. Great to hear you've done both of Paul Stamets courses!
Remember to type that into your TW bio sometime....it is worth tooting your horn about that training with the globelly respected Paul Stamets!
Would you consider adding some of the TED site links you think are useful to the Myco group site sometime?

we have a lot of mushroom logs that are about to fruit. have you done mushrooms long?
