Welcome to the STS Lab Notes—your raw log of engineering, failures, and breakthroughs from the Sustainability Testing Station.
This isn’t theoretical farming. Here you’ll find the blueprints for independence and resilience, developed right here in South Africa. From Bundu Tek hardware to the Selective Nutrition paradigm, these notes document the real-world evolution of regenerative agriculture.

Prefix “0”:
Biological Systems Engineering
The engineering philosophy behind Bundu Teq. These STS Lab Notes explore regenerative agriculture, carbon cycling, selective nutrition, biosecurity, and the practical mechanics of building resilient, off-grid biological systems. It is the blueprint that connects every kingdom into one closed-loop ecosystem.
Prefix “1”:
Plant Science & Organic Food Production
From passive hydroponics and VermiPonics to nutrient chemistry, crop physiology, Elephant Garlic, and controlled environment agriculture. These notes focus on growing healthier plants with fewer external inputs through biological rather than chemical engineering.
Prefix “2”:
Microbial Engineering & Soil Biology
The invisible workforce behind regenerative agriculture. Explore vermiculture, microbial mineralization, Terra Preta, biochar activation, Bokashi fermentation, and the living soil biome that converts waste into stable fertility and plant nutrition.
Prefix “3”:
Fungal Engineering & Mushroom Cultivation
Master the fungal kingdom through substrate design, spawn production, culture preservation, contamination management, and low-energy cultivation systems. These notes reveal how fungi recycle lignocellulosic waste into food while powering the next stage of the Bundu Teq biological loop.
