      You can pronounce it as gmfung-ai and fun-Jee. But only one is correct. You dont pronounce cacti as cact-Tee. This is just an excuse.
      Edit: for more context in order for Fun-jee to be grammatically acceptable, Fun-jus also has to be acceptable.

    This spring I experimented with hugelkultur. Instead of yard clippings I used forest floor litter and some kitchen waste that just began to grew fungi. The end result this fall was the most bountiful tomato harvest I’ve ever had since I started gardening 6 years ago, even more bountiful compared with compost alone or fertilizer alone.

      Even more amazing that we associate "mold" as something wholly detrimental in agriculture... "Mold" is literally mother nature, the dynamo that fuels the natural world. Literally all established knowledge of biology is based upon a false premise. How humbling that is... Now you must ask: what implications that have on our food supply? Much of our food is now being grown either isolated from the fungus [commercial agriculture] or completely devoid of it [aquaponics]. i bet this has implications on our health as a society, that we cannot even begin to comprehend.

So I feed the fungi and the fungi do all the fertilizing. The plants grow like they are on steroids and don't get bothered by pests half as much. If you want more info on no dig, check out Charles dowding.

We shouldn’t take from the earth without giving back a fair trade. It’s time to go back to our roots and reestablish the symbiotic relationships we once had with this planet.

    I know it wouldn't match the kind of computing power as traditional computers but it could make for an interesting replacement that may be more radiation resistant or perhaps even provide an organically fuelled artificial intelligence?
