Episode 290: Decentralized Food with Roy Ramey
Today, I get the honor of talking to a fella who I have admired for years, who cares about freedom and who understands that food security throughout the country would be vastly improved if we could get the government regulators out of our business and let folks sell food to one another, from the bottom up rather than further a centralized food system that puts us all at risk when deliveries no longer come for whatever reason.

Could you do one on making compost tea? I’m professionally trained in chemistry and understand the mechanics behind it, but I still have more questions than answers. My humic acid levels aren’t where they should be when I do a large volume (45 gallons) and I don’t know why. My pH, ppm levels, and EC are all on point. Any input is always welcome.
