High Brix Farming and Gardening

Brix is considered a good indicator of the quality of the food because a higher Brix value generally means that the food is more nutrient-dense, suggesting higher nutritional quality.

The challenges with achieving a high Brix have included not having as high Brix values as hoped for initially, and issues such as drought stress, lack of irrigation, and deer stressing the plants.

Signs of high-quality crops include very dark leaves indicating a lot of chlorophyll, crops untouched by bugs while the weeds next to them are decimated, and leaves that are almost blue from the high nutrient content.

No, no pesticides or herbicides are used on the crops. They're grown using methods that help them protect themselves by being nutrient-dense instead.

Soft rock phosphate, also known as SRP, is used as a mineral supplement in agriculture. It has a wide spectrum of minerals that are very bioavailable and it helps the plants grow just like it helps people.

Yes, even with little to no prior knowledge on farming, someone can successfully grow high-quality produce using the methods described, which include high Brix methods and Reams-based agronomy.

The soil on the farm was deficient in everything and not very fertile, but through the agricultural methods applied, important biological systems were kickstarted, improving the soil quality for better crop growth.
