Liz, et al - peppers and ashing are often associated with Steiner and biodynamics but they have, in fact, a long history in general homeopathics. The literature of homeopathy may be a fertile place to do more research, since relatively little is laid out in biodynamic literature. (Check in particular articles in back issues of HOMEOPATHY TODAY, etc) -Allan PS But I, for one, don't think you need to pepper for your snakes. I think you need to investigate your bioregional biological interelationships and 'solve' your snake problem by maximizing diversity rather than 'reducing' it Enlivening the soil through the use of the BD Preps and compost teas has a strong anecdotal reputation for bringing forward many otherwise rare beneficial species of birds and mammals.
