Hobiness
I am selling my Wickimix® soil but I think I should just
make a few comments on how I operate. Poor diet is the basic
cause of the world’s worst health problem – basically
internal fat around the body organs which leads to such
deceases as diabetes, heart decease, strokes, cancer etc.
In my January newletter
(www.waterright.com.au/Newsletter_Jan_2015)
I explained why this is such a personal issue for me.
Hobiness is a word I made up to try and describe what I do -
it is a combination of hobby and business.
The idea of burying a sheet of plastic in the ground to stop
water escaping beyond the root zone occurred to me while I
was working in Ethiopia almost twenty years ago when I was
looking for a way of providing sustenance food for starving
people in times of drought.
Nothing could be far from a commercial operation and I was
anxious to share my ideas with anyone and anybody who would
listen.
Many people said it would not work because the water would
turn putrid. That is absolutely true if you don’t do it the
right way.
I have written at length about how to operate a wicking bed
but still get enquires from people who have a wicking bed
which has turned putrid.
Since then wicking beds have become universal. Unfortunately
some commercial companies are promoting their own version of
wicking beds without fully understanding how wicking beds
really should work or any acknowledgment of my intellectual
property.
I am not anti-business, I ran my own company for many years
and to stay in business companies have to make money.
However I do think that the ethics of the massive processed
food industry is leading to the world greatest health crisis
excess sugar leading to obesity which in turn leads to
diabetes, heat decease, strokes, cancer etc.
I see it as very little difference between the way they act
and the tobacco companies.
There is little anyone can do, even Governments against the
might of these multi-national companies.
I cannot change the way people eat, but if they want to eat
a healthier diet I can make the technology I have developed
available. But I do not want to repeat the mistakes I made
with original wicking bed concept and make my technology
available without any restrictions.
I therefore have adopted the principle of Creative Commons.
In essence this means that
- anyone can reproduce any of my writings provided they
acknowledge the author
- that the information can be used for private but not for
commercial use
- it any organisation want to use this technology for
commercial use they must obtain a formal license
