Perfect Orchard -soil test

What do you need to look for in a soil test, and why ?

"looking for an ag interpretation "

Per Garp/NH


Per - For a literal answer to your question, Go to the EarthWorks 
site I gave you the url for earlier. There you can find both a blank 
soil test form (results ie what's quantified) and, I believe, the 
interpretive commentary.

Perfect Orchard -The soil

Is it a problem having mix top soil with hardpan sandy soil ?
If it is a problem what do you do to fix it ??

And after adding "calcium" (local farmer recommend 2 ton to the acre)
do we need to add this stuff every year ?

In this perfect orchard what do we do ? with mulch and added green
manure/compost ?
I like to add 2/4 inch of wood chips in a strip 3 foot wide to promote soil
life and to limited weed growing ?

Per Garp?NH

Please bear with me I'm many emails behind.

ALBRECHT LAB was: Re: Perfect Orchard ?? Brookside Lab

[igg]

Per -

Check will Joel Simmons of EarthWorks, outside of Easton, PA. He's 
been doing Albrecht consulting for years and has just opened his own 
lab, which I understand is an upgrade over what either Brookside or 
Perry are currently offering. (You'll have to talk to Joel to get the 
details, but it's my understanding that it was disappointment with 
the prevailing Albrecht labs that led Joel to open his own.)

Make sure they know that you are looking for an ag interpretation for 
your samples.

Hi Per

I think that you can only access Brookside labs through a consultant, Perry
you can go direct - or thats what I have been told

Happy Christmas, Allan and the List.

With respect, as 2003 dawns, is it time to have a parallel List that
caters for those with the capability to handle graphics and attachments?
I am about to install the replacement for the three year old (to me)
computer, which cost a hundred Oz dollars = half that in Greens and a
third in Stirling. The old computer handles anything that comes over
normal internet lists. I live in a remote part with a slow and doubtful
connection, but do not have difficulties with other lists.

Have a good one folk!

Title: FW: [globalnews] Mysterious Webs Drop From the Texas Skies




And a Merry Christmas to all!



>>Truth is Stranger than Fact
>  Mysterious Webs Drop From the Skies

http://www.galvnews.com/report.lasso?wcd=6722

By Michael A. Smith
The Daily News (Galveston)

Published December 21, 2002

Was it part of nature's enigmatic web, or part of a sinister web of
conspiracy in the black-helicopter, secret-mass-experiment vein?

Hard to say, but one thing seems clear: The skies over Galveston County
on Friday were literally filled with floating, shimmering strands and
fuzzy, luminescent wads that looked a lot like spider webs.

Lorenzo DeLacerta saw them about noon when he delivered building material
to a site a mile east of the San Louis Pass Bridge.

"It blew my mind," DeLacerta said. "I have never seen anything like it
before." Others on the site saw them, too, he said, but their minds were
not blown. They were like ‘Yeah?' They didn't seem to think much about
it."

Lorenzo called his sister, Gloria, who saw the same thing in the sky over
La Marque. She called The Daily News where a half dozen skeptical news
people were forced to admit that there was, indeed, under way a slow,
steady parade of slender web-like strands, some near the ground, some way
up where the airliners ply.

The webs were visible in the air for five hours, and poles were left
wrapped with the sticky strands and fuzzy wads. So what were they?
Official sky-web sources seem scarce. A spokesman at the National Weather
Service Office in League City said the service had received no reports of
flying webs, and that flying webs weren't really their thing.
The phenomenon has occurred in at least two other places. The Associated
Press reported Oct. 8 that "long, floating spider webs" were "bobbing
through the skies of Santa Cruz, Calif., … confusing some community
members concerned about biological weapons, UFOs and other phenomena."

And the Wallowa Chieftain in Oregon reported on Dec. 22, 2000, the
sightings of "web-like material … falling from the sky" that some locals
thought came "from three military jets that had been flying back and
forth in an east-west flight pattern at high altitude."
A University of Wyoming microbiology professor quoted in the AP story
attributed the Santa Cruz webs to a seasonal migration of hatchling
spiders leaving their nests. The professor, who did not return messages
left at his home and office, said it was not uncommon to see "dozens" of
webs floating across the plains of Wyoming.

But observers here were not reporting dozens of webs, but hundreds of
thousands. One explanation, of sorts, can be found on the World Wide Web,
where scores of people are convinced that the webs are man-made and may
be part of a sinister conspiracy. Like a lot of web-based topics, exactly
what is the man-made material and the conspiracy's goal is a little murky.

Some posts say the webs appear on days when strange condensation trails,
like those from jet airplanes, also occur. Was Galveston County visited
by a mundane migration of arachnids or something else?

Lorenzo DeLacerta, who spent Friday contemplating the webs, does not know
what they were, but he says he's sure of one thing. "I have never seen
anything like this before. I have seen spiders floating on webs before,
but I have never seen this."

Good job.

Broke both of the golden rules with one click of the mouse.

Folks: TRIM YOUR RESPONSES. We're not Morons, everyone knows how to 
read a thead, it doesn't need to be forwarded each time.

Also, never post graphics or other attachments to this list.

Thanks

Re: Perfect Orchard-Calcium

[Allan Balliett]

Is it only oil that the US is after or  is it power over all decisions made
by anyone in all facets of life? It will be really amazing to see what
happens world wide when the bombs start dropping. To me the only honourable
outcome for this war is George. W. Bush and Saddam Hussein to have a pistol
duel in prime news time, with the winner to have a regime change in the
others country. It would make a great New Years Day spectacular on CNN.
Have a great Christmas and dont let the great American spin doctors stuff up
your Christmas.


Look up your own pipe, James. Without enthusiastic allies like 
Australia and the UK, even Geo W. would be a little more cautious 
about making the world safe for multi-nationals, eh? -Allan

I think that you have hit the nail right on the head. As long as there is
cheap fossil fuel, and most of the American people are prepared to sell
their birthright and also the birthright of every person on the planet, for
access to sharing the dream, of GW, Cheney and Rumsfeld and company, of
total world domination there is not much chance for anyone who does not
share that dream with them. There is not a single facet of life over the
whole planet that the US does not try to influence or control in one way or
another. For a country that started off with such high ideals and freedoms
to set out to take the freedom of billions of people from them is for me
incomprehensible.
Is it only oil that the US is after or  is it power over all decisions made
by anyone in all facets of life? It will be really amazing to see what
happens world wide when the bombs start dropping. To me the only honourable
outcome for this war is George. W. Bush and Saddam Hussein to have a pistol
duel in prime news time, with the winner to have a regime change in the
others country. It would make a great New Years Day spectacular on CNN.
Have a great Christmas and dont let the great American spin doctors stuff up
your Christmas.
