Double Food Production and Carbon
Sequestration
by Barry Carter
For the last nine years, I have been researching the cause
of the sevenfold increase in production that I witnessed in October of 2000
when I took the pictures of the walnuts and walnut trees described at:

Since then, we have found that the sea minerals used on this
walnut tree also facilitate a similar increase in the size and abundance of
oranges and plums on trees which have been supplemented with these minerals.
The plum tree in my front yard is my current favorite example of this increase:

Here are some pictures of oranges given these minerals:

It appears that these production increases take two to four
years to fully manifest in perennial plants and require the replanting of seeds
grown using these minerals for annuals. So far, we only have one year results
on annual plants from a very few university studies. These studies were done
using a specific producer's product but other similar products including the
same minerals have shown similar results. You can read about these studies
conducted on grains and annual row crops at:

Keep in mind that the four links above all represent a
single year's results and do not show the results we would expect from multi
year application to perennials or to annuals from seeds grown using these
minerals. They also don't adequately describe what happens in the soil when
these minerals are applied. One study suggests that total fungal biomass
doubles in three weeks after application. The exact numbers are reported at:

Anecdotal reports also suggest that cattle will graze the
sea mineral treated areas before touching the untreated areas in an undivided
field:

Obviously, all of these results suggest that it may be
possible to dramatically increase carbon sequestration using these minerals in
agriculture. Furthermore, the savings in reduced fertilizer use will easily
cover the costs of the minerals plus their application.
I wish to make it clear that I am not promoting the Sea-Crop
product. It is my preference that everyone learn to
extract these minerals for themselves using the following method:
The Wet Method consists of taking sea water or whole sea
salt dissolved in water and raising its pH to 10.78 using lye (also known as
caustic soda or sodium hydroxide) to precipitate out these beneficial minerals.
The precipitate contains these minerals in a more concentrated form with
reduced salt. You can read a thorough description of the Wet Method at:

Other simple methods can concentrate these same minerals
from rock sources. Here is a story about the application of these minerals from
rock sources to onions:

This mineral precipitate is typically applied at the rate of
one to three gallons per acre (ten to thirty one liters per hectare). It is
usually applied just once a year for most row crops but will be after each
harvest for grains and other crops which get multiple cuttings per year.
I think the most important consideration is that anyone with
access to wood ash (to make lye) and sea water (or rocks) can extract these
minerals for their own use. Thus they are ideal for increasing carbon
sequestration (and reducing hunger) in third world countries.
I would like a bit of help in figuring out how much these minerals might increase carbon sequestration, if
applied to agricultural lands, and how much more would need to be applied to
non agricultural land to begin sequestering more carbon than is being put into
the atmosphere each year by our current petro
economy. I have written a speculative article on this topic at:
