I bet certain fungi could even decompose all that contaminated hay.

Lovely. I like this kind of simple solutions to problems. Why hasnt science already developed some sort of (synthetic) super super megasurface fiber that adsorbs oil even better? Whats the reason oil stains are not countered by use of this adsorption principle? Or am i wrong and is it already in use?

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Stevowitz Lovely thread, it really warms my heart that people care out there and are putting forward a simple but affective harmless solution. Sad though as I don't think it will be implemented... Much Peace and Happiness

Much Peace and Happiness It is sad, but you would be surprised at the amount of farmers in the midwest that are actually doing things like this all the time! Bio-diesel (I've tried the soap, works damn good!) Ethanol (corn farmers) Crop Cycling(keeping the soil fertile) these are just 3 other examples of how these kinds of people are taking the resources they have been using for hundreds of years and applying it in new ways to help save their local ecosystems/economies. *We are now at a phase of human development where we have accumulated an enormous amount of knowledge through scientific research in the material world.

Stevowitz Farmers are the salt of the earth as they have a strong connection with plants and our planet. Its a beautiful thing to see those two farmers just wanting to provide a solution. I have a great respect for farmers, I hope to grow all my own food some day. Its just sad that farmers are controlled by companies like Monsanto as they have a connection with the environment and most of the time don't want to harm our planet... Much Peace and Respect

I provided a link in the "Consciousness shift trigger" thread to an article in regards to a new peat moss that is excellent at doing just that. https://www.dmt-nexus.me...amp;m=141351#post141351

Here Paul Stamets and Lisa Gautier explain how they used hair mats to suck up the oil and then let oyster mushrooms digest it.
But I can hardly imagine there is enough hair to cover this huge area... but anyhow, these ideas deserve to practiced on a large scale by now!

That oilleak realy sucks big time. I can't understand why these things are still happening.  Is there anybody who knows or has a rough estimation how long it's gonna take for nature to get back to what it was before the leak?

Its going to take the death of the cancer that is tge human species. Which probably will never happen. We seem pretty resiliant.Im sure the earth will die first and we will have moved on. Can you Imagine? From one single Idea everything appeared here.

Really great & very simple solution. Sounds like it'd be very easy to implement though the tricky part would be collecting all the oil soaked hay.

Great idea - I think you would need more hay than it would be possible to get, but got to be worth a try! Oh great - the world has just been replaced by elf machinery.

There's also an article about this: http://www.newsherald.com/news/...a-83647-beach-santa.htmlAs far as I can tell, oyster mushrooms will have no problem colonizing hay as well as it does with hair. Is there any reason this wouldn't work well for protecting the marshes? Obviously you wouldn't want to cover the gulf with hay, but it seems ideal for protecting the shorelines and marshes. It would be quite a bit simpler than hair, as it's likely more abundant and can be used largely as-is, whether in bails or loosely.

This is a good idea! using this method you could then gather up the oil coverec hay and inoculate it with P. ostreatus mycelium. Paul Stamets has already done experiments with Oyster mycelium abosorbing oil from soils. hay is easier for the mycelium to breakdown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7PjqMh96XE these guess found a great solution to grabbing the oil, now we just have to put other methods together, i think this is fuckin awesome! <edit> lol others already posted on this. so i will say. Yes i agree oyster mycelium is amazing, eats everything.
