worms and sauerkraut

You guys are going to get REALLY tired of blogs on gardening and food, I warn you. I had some thoughts that were kinda cool so I felt like sharing them. last year (and even now) I did alot of research on diet, food, etc because of a pre-existing condition I have that I'd really like to have healed without the nasty cocktail of drugs the doctor would like me on. Still playing with that. This year, I'm studying gardens, soils,ecosystems...and its amazing how similiar the research is. Bottom line--just as in kungfu where we need a solid base, so also in both our bodies and our gardens we need a healthy base; for the ground its all about the soil, the life thats meant to thrive there--bugs, worms, bacteria, minerals, nutrients etc all that make up a healthy base for all other parts of an ecosystem. What a surprise--for our bodies its a healthy gut--with a healthy balance of bacteria, minerals, vitamens...sound familiar? I guess like the bible says, we are just dirt. (made from earth, return to earth...) So how do we make ourselves healthy? How do we make our world healthy again? Return to the base. The soil I'm still learning about, among other things. Composting, permaculture, water recycling. Our bodies? Back in balance. And yogurt isnt going to fix your bacteria,sorry. (Did you ever wonder about that? What does bacteria eat? Sugar. Waste products? CO2, among other things. So if your yogurt sweetened, as most are, or has fruit in it, and is sitting quietly on the shelf not fermenting is the bacteria actually live in it? Think about it.) Whats the best food for gut bacteria--and if you've ever been on antibiotics you should be taking care of this--?? Homemade sauerkraut or kimchi. Ok I'm NOT a fan of sauerkraut, but for the health of me--I may just have to learn. I'm learning about worm compost too, to improve my gardens soil to both improve the health of the land and my health from the better veggies I will get from it. Theres so much we can do on such a small level that will make big changes in the long run. What if we all started taking better care of ourselves and our little piece of lands we call our yards? Wouldnt that be cool if we could make a huge change just by changing our yards? Our eating habits?
