Is it maybe the case that the PFAS are actually binding to water and washed out of the container, rather than being destroyed or converted into something harmless by those microbes? I would be interested to see if drain water samples taken at the start and end of the test would show this.
Hi Tech10x10, I wanted to take samples at the end of the control bed for just what you are referring to (draining out), but the costs of testing get prohibitive. In that first test I sent in a smaple at the beginning, and then one at the end. The next test I'm doing I'll just run the whole test and send in samples from the control and the applied beds both of which will be watered the same. So if there is a whasing effect it will happen to both. Stay tuned! BTW< my main outlet is SubStack since UA-cam has been shadow banning me.
HI, I'm very interested in buying some of those almonds to plant. I would love to grow a couple of Almond trees in my backyard to grow with my food forest. Would you be interested in selling me some please. I live in Florida and am confident they will grow here.
Of course, Puerto Rico does, the US MADE SURE OF THAT after the invasion in 1898. Before that, PR was an agricultural society. Among other things, they were the suppliers of coffee and real sugar (as in sugar cane) to the Vatican. Not just them, due to PR's location. I am talking hundreds of years, from the time Columbus got there. Yes, that Columbus. Right now, most of the land has been taken over by corporations and very rich people from the US. Of course, PR is good for one thing according to the US: members of the military. I'm okay with Trump, vs the ones that don't want to give up power but having known him since we were both 22 and in NYC, I know exactly what he STILL think of us. In other words, zero hope for the future. The only way for PR to be "food self-reliant" is for all the billionaires and other exploiters, people and companies included to get the heck out. About the only hope is WWIII, crazy as it sounds. Too tiny a group of small islands to waste nuclear bombs with. (By the way, ME: born and raised in the US Army. Little old lady, expert in wars, among other things, so I am being serious.) By the way, if you want to know how the other "sugar" is made come to Minnesota to areas when they make it and wear a hazmat suit and breathing apparatus. People wonder why so many people in the US are so unhealthy.
Hi Carmen, Yes, on the PR too small to waste a bomb on. ANd I completely agree about collapse ultimately being a really good thing - although very painful for most. PR will become food self reliant one way or another. I'm just doing my best to do it the easier way... but sigh, most poeple don't prepare or comprehend the problems that we are facing.
@@BackyardFood How dare you say that? Puerto Rico was a RICH NATION until the US INVADED. That is why the US took us over. Plus, it was in a location when most ships had to be through to get to the US and Central America, before planes existed. PR will never be self-reliant until the US GETS THE HELL OUT OF THERE. Puerto Ricans are being forced out by US billionaires, and things keep getting worse for all Puerto Ricans. Part of that was planned decades ago. I even sent the Governor of Puerto Rico evidence of what those sicko's were planning. Just a couple of weeks ago, that was finally made public by some people in the US.
I sent this to the Former owner of Grow Box who has a place in P R.
Thank you! I love ocnnecting with people on the Island.

By the way, nice site, with some exceptions.
Thanks for that!

Hi Carolyn, please reach out to Stephanie Syson of the Caribean Agroforestry Institute. I bet she can arrange it, or refer you to someone who can.
@BackyardFood thank you
