The famous words from Barny's kid on the Flinestone's "Bam Bam," suggests that maybe he wasn't so much into breaking things, as he was a young visionary in the area of Sustainable farming, trying to let everyone know that they should BAM BAM.
BAM (Beneficial Active Micro-organisms) - is a patented product produced by Harry Arakaki of Organa Agriculture Hawaii, Inc, that we purchased for Fieldhouse Farm at Pahoa Pet and Feed store (PFF)... I noticed that the store's initials match my father's... crazy how some of the most important details regarding the nascent players of the farm tie right into his name.
In the early stages of project planning, Danielle and Jeffrey indicated that first on the list of purchases, right after the sickles, was BAM.
BAM is being used on every plant on the farm, and it is also being applied to our organic mulching piles to help speed the process of creating quality soil. Used properly BAM can improve the sustainability of water, plants, and animals by keeping harmful organisms out of the environment and encouraging the positive nutrients and organisms to flourish.
It is interesting to note that the word Pathogen is defined as "an agent of disease" and that bacteria are classified as either nonpathogenic (harmless) or pathogenic (harmful.)
BAM, similar to Kombucha tea, contains good yeast and bacteria - in a world of Good and Bad (health and disease) you want the good guys on your side. My plants drink BAM and I drink Kombucha. Three cheers to Good Bacteria!
BAM contains: Photosynthetic Bacteria, Lactic-acid Bacteria, Yeast, Fish Meal, Kelp, Sulfur, Saponin, Leonardite, and Wheat bran
