Me “Hey Yuri, what do you want to do today with dad?” Yuri “ummm, COMPOST!” This kid man, shovelling compost by himself just in the moment and loving the work. Beautiful December day here in Nova Scotia. Get outside more! #kidsoutside #toddler #yuri #microbes #compost #novascotia #polyculture #farm #soilfoodweb #livingsoil #organic
What an amazing five days of work and connections. Thank you @mau.cortes.e you’ve thought me a lot watching you work! Best of luck in your future adventures. Thanks to everyone that came out to the compost academy with @catalystbioamendments and @soil.matters it’s been great to meet you all. @ralzballs you are a boss for organizing something like this. #friends #compost #novascotia #costarica #microbes
Day 1. The compost academy! Woah woah woah. I don’t even know where to start, my belly is full and I’m in a hammock listening to the thunder. Life is good. Im@just going to enjoy this time. #microbes #compost #novascotia #costarica #thunder #rainforests #rainyseason #polyculture #livingsoil #farm #organic #chicken #banana #foodforest
Thank you @barnyardorganics for providing a local alternative quality feed blend! So excited for what’s next. My foot is strong, and I’ve been working on getting my fields back and looking forward to the work ahead. As this relationship unfolds, I get excited to think about the microbes grown from my chickens manure where also the grain they ate were grown with my microbes! #orgainc #food #chicken #chickendaddy #microbes #soilfoodweb #grain #farm #orgaincfarming #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #polyculture #novascotia #pei #maritime #martimelocal
I asked Yuri what he wanted to do today….. this was his genuine response! This kid man. On new news, I start a series of business meetings tomorrow to start locating funding to scale up my production! Wish me luck. #fundraising #grantwriting #microbes #compost #novascotia #soilfoodweb #farm #polyculture #organic #chickens #chicken #futurefarmers

Welcome to Inoculum’s Microbe circus!!!! 🤡 my life has been intense to say the least this year, but with my injury behind me and 6 months of reflection I look forward to busting out of the gates next spring. I Replanted some fall/ winter crops, and inoculated the greenhouse, It seems sense I stoped inoculating (in July) the chicken would always bust in and make a mess. So I replanted carrots, beets, Swiss chard. I also did some cover cropping to feed the chickens in December, sense they are used to the destruction. AND YES @catalystbioamendments @compost.maloam my compost needs to be watered 🤫 #chicken #chickendaddy #friendsofmicrobes #compost #soilfoodweb #livingsoil #novascotia #farm #polyculture #chickens #organic #chaos #chaosgardening #microbes #fortheloveofmicrobes #newbeginnings
Bagging up another order! Had some help from the boys! It’s been a long summer that seemed to be over in a blink of an eye, I have some very exciting news to share, but the time isn’t right yet. New relationships are sure to flourish and am excited what the future holds. #microbes #compost #soilfoodweb #livingsoil #farm #novascotia #polyculture #chickens #chicken #rave #pictou #framfresh #thinkfarm #organic
WINNER WINNER MICROBE DINNER!!!
Congratulations Kimberly!!!!! Kimberly Joy Wells you can pick up your bag of Inoculum’s craft compost at Forge Home and Garden thank to our local celebrity Jake Chisholm for drawing our contest winner!
Planting out my greenhouse. Very excited to show you my style of gardening. I didn’t think my body was going to let me garden this year, but I am thankful my body is saying yes but go easy. I will mulch my pathways and I’ve been watering with extracts. I’ll show you what a biology focused compost can do for you in your home garden or farm. #microbes #food #garden #organic #greenhouse #farmthesoil #farm #farm #organicfarm #chickens #soilfoodweb #farmfresh #farmfresheggs #compainionplanting #polyculture #livingsoil #turpines
Woah woah woah! What a weekend!!!!! Thank you @westrivergreenhouses for letting me host a demo this weekend and thanks to everyone that came out, we will be doing another one soon. BUUUTTTT this post is about BIOLOGY REPORTS!!!! I got my results and I am pleased to say I am walking the walk and not just talking the talk. THANK YOU @catalystbioamendments you have been the best teachers anyone could ever ask for, to think one year ago almost to the day we started our journey across two countries hosting workshops and now I’m producing biological focused compost with great results, I was very nervous about receiving this news because I didn’t want to have the embarrassment of letting my best friends and mentors down. BUT I KILLED IT!!!! Pile number 6 is unreal!!!!! If you ever get the chance to go to a workshop or listen to the crew at catalyst DO IT!!! Also, thank you Olivia, your speedy counting made fast work of the samples I sent you and really look forward to working with you in the future. Highly recommend anyone on the east coast that needs a lab she’s your gal! #livingsoil #soilfoodweb #soilfoodwebschool #soil #compost #nematodes #protozoa #worms #farming #organic #microbes #microbefarmer #microorganism
