Lightning Meets Regenerative Lawn Care: Stangl’s Plasma Edge
Posted by Stangl’s Enviro Lawn Care | St. Catharines, ON | February 28, 2025
What’s lightning got to do with regenerative lawn care? Everything—at Stangl’s, it’s our exclusive game-changer: plasma. Newest tech, no salt, leading edge in Niagara since ‘81. That bolt? It’s plasma fertilizer, striking St. Catharines lawns April ‘25—Nature’s Brew’s force of reckoning, amping soil and plant life for healthier, deeper-rooted green that lasts.
For 44 years, I’ve sniffed out soil truth—conventional hacks drowned Niagara in sprays, but I’ve leapfrogged dirt to life. Nature’s Brew—our natural powerhouse—revives lawns, no poisons. Now, plasma’s my ace—exclusive, no burn, no runoff, rewriting lawn care. Combined, they’re a thunderclap: tougher turf, lusher growth, summers that don’t brown out. St. Michael’s sport fields prove it—mud to might, year after year.
You’re looking for Nature’s edge this year? Green that sticks, not flashes? You’re missing out on this strike—plasma’s my secret, Niagara’s first. Check [stangls.com]—pics, proof, and my “I told ya so” coming April. Call (905) 641-8133—join the force before it’s gone. More lightning drops soon—stay tuned.

CBC’s Marketplace has delivered another hack job on food inflation. In my view, it is one of the worst shows on television right now. This week’s segment featured two economists whose opinions fit the program’s narrative, without presenting the data, peer-reviewed research or modelling needed to substantiate their claims.
Years ago, when I was pre-interviewed for the show, I felt they were fishing for one or two specific sound bites to convince Canadians that ALL businesses are greedy and utterly unethical. A balanced discussion did not seem to be the objective. This week’s coverage left me with the same impression.
Expert commentary should be challenged and supported by evidence, especially on a taxpayer-funded program. Instead, CBC's Marketplace too often presents opinions as conclusions and leaves viewers with an incomplete understanding of complex issues.
I no longer respond to their interview requests. Canadians deserve rigorous journalism, transparent evidence and a fair discussion.
I find this kind of coverage disgusting.

Adding to my little rant yesterday.
Wheat. For most just seems like a pain in the ass. It combines slow, takes up lake time. Isn’t worth anything.
Wheat in strips and intercropping harvests 2-3x faster… and when you leave you’re done.
We basically do most the work in the fall, we plant the beans 1st in the spring as it helps dry it out faster… and the canopy takes out a late spring sprayer pass or 2.
Its value proposition is that it dies… without intervention… and its existence, attributes makes more room for beans on more valuable days, when they are making fruit.
I have tomato plants in my garden that were the size of my fist this spring that are now 15’ wide cause I don’t stake them.
Soybeans will do the same thing but we don’t let them because we’re so brainwashed by all the “data” that we don’t add context to the equation.
Plants behave like a city.
In the 1800’s the aristocrats built homes around downtown…where the $$ was
They left and now the crackheads live in those same homes that the mayors lived a century before
When you prune you make bigger plants
When you thin you make bigger plants
When you can collaborate multiple plants you can shade the ground faster taking out chemical costs
The equity built from growing between wheat with the beans means your
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377
Sitting at 377 and next week your at 610
They’re growing fast.
I’m called a little crazy because my math is weighted, includes context, motive, and momentum. Something institutional education or AI can’t really grasp because all wealth is created in the shadows of enlightenment. You can pull apart any artist with specialization and statistics.
Planting our weed / wheat control for next years soybeans.
Wheat is the easiest crop to establish. The soil is usually warm and dry this time of year.
Once a wheat strip is established. It can be weaponized… and the science is in the different environment created in the proximity of it.
The wheat will grow upward and outward at the same time in the shape of the golden angle.. 137.5” meaning basically that even 15”… 20”… gaps will close since that angle goes upward approximately 35-40”
We need gaps of 30-40” between the wheat strips to allow enough sunlight into the crop canopy for soybeans to co exist for 80-100 days.
The math is both understanding the natural geometry and physics
Every 4 bu/ac of wheat drinks 1 acre inch of water. Shuttering seeding population, adjusting spacing, and regulating the amount of nitrogen applied governs the yield of the wheat.
Our goal is to reduce cost of goods sold on wheat production by at least $100/ac … sometimes up to $200/ac based on soil test fertility in place.
The math of reducing $150/ac creates a lower break even point that can be calculated by dividing by the price of wheat.
The 2nd order science is understanding that wheat has a competitive/collaborative relationship with soybeans. Pushing wheat yields not only cost significant more per acre, but simultaneously lowers soybeans yield potential.
Years of messing with the variable has put us in a position where we plant about 1/4-1/3 of the recommended seeding rate of wheat, apply 1/2-2/3 the N to get us around 75 bu wheat instead of 100-120 that can be attained with more intense management including more seed, pk, n, growth regulators, fungicide, etc.
Why? Because soybeans are worth twice as much. So when you spreadsheet it out
70/70 beans 100/40 (double crop soybeans) by up to $300/ac based on the revenue gains + subtraction in costs of goods sold
Getting good at this practice has created a more profitable acre than even great corn production as we can create similar or usually more revenue per acre with less costs.
The only limiting factor is being timely and doing a great job at all the tasks…but most importantly understanding the relationships… the math… and all the ancillary benefits… and leaning into them with reduced inputs.
I think there are many other systems that enjoys the same polymath, but from an equipment perspective we’re still a decade or 2 away from making as scalable and profitable as a cereal /soybean capturing light and water for 380 days

"Few people are paying attention to these data, but Statistics Canada confirms that Canada is exporting more food than ever to the U.S., with exports up 5.8% from last year. Meanwhile, the U.S. accounts for a larger share of Canada’s food imports than a year ago, despite all the noise about boycotts and diversification."

THE ELITES WON'T TELL YOU THIS—but the science is clear.
The University of Nebraska proved raising MORE COWS & eating MORE BEEF saves the planet.
Cows are carbon negative—they produce more oxygen than the methane & carbon they emit.

The Driscoll’s story by the CBC raises legitimate questions. CFIA confirmed some berries exceeded Canadian pesticide residue limits.
BUT...the claim that half of shipments were affected comes from a disputed lawsuit, not CFIA testing. An exceeded legal limit also does not, by itself, establish a health risk. Show us the data, CBC.

"I know many Canadians dislike giving President Trump some credit at times, but he made an important point about potash. Canada has managed potash much like dairy, tightly controlling supply and keeping prices high for decades."

PM Carney claimed today that industrial carbon pricing has “zero” direct or indirect impact on food prices.
That is not true.
Ottawa’s own modelling estimated millions in carbon-pricing costs for food, beverage manufacturing in 2022, when the carbon tax was $20 per tonne. Now, it's $110 per tonne. Costs do not simply disappear.

"Diesel prices are keeping many people in the food industry awake at night. Farmers are spending three times more on diesel than they did last year because they have no choice, and some food prices could rise by an additional 10% to 15% over the next two months if diesel prices remain elevated. It’s not a good situation."

As I’ve said time and again, the world’s largest economy has options.
President Trump’s message below about potash makes that abundantly clear. Our arrogance as a country remains our greatest weakness.

The Atlantic is having its quietest hurricane season in at least 60 years, with no hurricanes by mid-September.
Strangely, the climate activists and headline writers who amplify every active season have little to say. One quiet season does not disprove climate change, just as one severe storm does not prove it.
Weather deserves context, not activism.

When you're sad, remember that there's a tiny protein called kinesin working its hardest to keep you alive.
It travels through the interior of your cells, carrying from one place to another the materials they need to keep functioning.
While you read this, millions of these little proteins work tirelessly so that your body keeps functioning. ❤️
Most lawns are fed like they’re hungry.
They’re not. They’re unemployed.
We just published what Nature’s Brew actually is — and what it is not.
4,142 species on DNA.
5.8:1 fungal-to-bacterial biomass. Same sample, two labs.
Eight-plus years in the bioreactor. Worms still working.
It puts a crew back in tired Niagara soil.
It does not erase dandelions.
If you’re switching from conventional sprays because you want a weed-free lawn by July, this isn’t your product. Compaction, short cutting, and legacy soil don’t vanish in one season.
If you want soil that takes water and grass that can compete, start here:

Ask about the soil, not just the grass.

Farmer Joel Salatin has a message for President Trump on beef prices.
“We don’t need … grants.”
“What we need is freedom.”
“We should be able to engage in a food transaction without asking a bureaucrat’s permission!”
And Rep. Thomas Massie has delivered a solution.
He wrote the PRIME Act with the late Senator Frank Niceley during a visit to Salatin’s farm in 2015.
Now, Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree has co-sponsored it.
“This is not … red vs. blue.”
“It just says if the farmer and the processor and the consumer all live in the same state, you don’t need the federal government’s permission to have that transaction.”
The latest version of the 2026 Farm Bill includes a pilot program of the PRIME Act, enabling states to adopt this model of local regulation over federal intervention.
Salatin summarizes this issue perfectly.
All we need is freedom.
Across the board.
Freedom for local farmers to sell their food without federal intervention.
Freedom to make our own medical decisions.
Freedom from pesticides in our food supply.
Freedom from fluoride in our drinking water.
Freedom from chemicals raining down from jet fuel exhaust.
@RepThomasMassie @JoelSalatin @chelliepingree
Morning Brew.
Nature’s Brew is not a bag of salt fertilizer.
It is a living tank of biology, amino acids, minerals, and carbon — working before it ever hits the lawn.
That’s the difference.
Conventional fertilizer and spray programs force a quick green and call it care.
We feed the soil.
This is the soil’s breakfast. Food for champions. Living. Ready to go to work.
No poisons. No killer sprays.
Just nature’s process.
Rooted in real soil-to-plant health.

Why did the auto industry build facilities in Canada?
Glad you asked.
Ford and Mclaughin/GM initially built plants in 1904 and 1907 respectively to avoid...get this now... HIGH IMPORT TARIFFS that the canadian government placed on American autos.
1904. High import tarrifs. From Canada. On American vehicles.
Canada became a large producer of vehicles even though the plants were inefficient.
Because of HIGH TARIFFS on American goods.
The auto pact of 1965 did away with tarrifs but forced the companies to maintain a certain level of production to be duty free.
In the 80's overseas automakers built plants in Canada to avoid export restrictions and avoid trade barriers. Much like Canada allowing China to dump plywood in their country to avoid similar conditions.
They did not build these plants to serve the Canadian market, they built them to flood the American market.
Canadian tarrif and trade policy has a long history of being anti American.
