Re: BD Prep 503 for humans
Hi Peter, Glen, Hugh--How does one prepare 501 or any other prep for human intake? What is a dose? Have any of you any sort of chart on which prep affects what ailment? I have felt inclined to try using 501 on myself all year, but wasn't sure exactly what to do.

It is not our experiences that we have problems with but rather the interpretations of them. Personally, in my meditative mind, spiritual "beings" are a part of God as are insects or a blade of grass and it is precisely in being aware of all of Gods manifestations that eventually get us there (which is here and everywhere).It is true that the pursuit of "visions of beings" can be a distraction, but it need not be. I am aware of some meditative teachings that say to not pay attention to "beings", but by no means all med teachings. (one very definite teaching that comes to mind is Don Juan) If you want some clarification on this, try and think of a different form for these beings such as color, love,energy, light, health, just a sense or what ever works for you. It's just easier to find our way when we try to find what's behind the words rather than what the words mean. In Love and Light, Mr. Chris
Re: BD 501 (5x)
Hi Allen, The potency was the seventh achieved by four triturations, that is grinding in a mortar with a pistil for one hour for each stage. the practioner was given instructions on how to complete the final three. The Kolisko book 'AGRICULTURE OF TOMORROW' is frequently out of print so it may be worth enquiring of other list members whether there are any spare copies around. If there was sufficient demand a request could be made to the publishers to print another run. The second edition was printed in 1978 by The Acorn Press, Bournmouth, England. ISBN0 906492 OO 9 Thanks for posting the photos. Maybe Glen will beable to bring a few photos of us when he comes over. You sure must be busy with 163 share C.S.A. and then hosting this list as well. Do you ever get to sleep in the summer or does someone else do that for you? Warm regards to you and your team, Peter.

A reflection of a larger problem, Im sure, but just the > same, it gets very grating Hi Allan and frustrated sprayers Dont know if this will help but here goes During the eighties and early nineties we did a lot of field spraying, including quite a few thousand acres of contracting, by ground rig boom spray at very low application rates, super fine nozzles = 25 litres/ha (about 2.5 gallon/acre). The system needs to be pretty good to operate at this level but results were fantastic and productivity (work rate per hour doubles) There is a basic rule for the trouble free operation of any spraying gear that says " never put anything in the tank that wont go easily through the nozzle" this manifests much more so with fine jets and low rates however it seems that the manufacturers of spraying equipment can't be bothered with this because they continue to put a coarse strainer several times larger than jet size on the tank inlet then put fine strainers on the jets. This almost guarantees blockages with any of the things that readers on this list will be using. (teas, molasses, fish, kelp, BDpreps) all have fibrous stuff that will block small diameter jet strainers real quick Reverse the order of filtration - put a fine mesh filter, smaller than your jet size on the tank inlet - this is the largest capacity and easiest to clean one in the system - put a medium filter in the line after the pump - then put the coarsest screen, almost the same size as the jets, on the nozzle - in many cases, if the other two are in place and working properly, and your application rate is over 100 l/ha you can run succesfully with no nozzle filter at all - life will go much easier with ANY spraying gear if you stick to this basic trick - its just common sense really but in most cases you are going to need to home make a better tank inlet filter than the manufacturer supplies - a piece of fine woven cloth will often do just nice - this will work with any sprayer from your 2 gallon pump unit on up. Hope this helps some as sprayer blockages are just about the ultimate frustration! Cheers all Lloyd Charles

Interesting that all the great meditation traditions warn against paying attention to the "beings" that often appear to long-time meditators, saying that they are merely phantoms that should be shaken off en-route to the big prize, complete Oneness with God/the void/everything - enlightenment. Despite Steiner's insistence that anyone could follow in his footsteps, I've never heard of anyone describing their own personal experience of Steiner's spirit-world in exactly Steiner's Euro-centric terms. When this spirit-world is referred to, it seems to me to be usually in reference to what Steiner has said, not what the speaker has personally experienced. Enlightenment is described in common terms across all religious traditions. So are the "demons" wrestled with by the enlightened on their way to enlightenment, although the demons are described in terms of the meditator's religious background. But Steiner's experience seems to belong to Steiner alone. He demanded that people test his teachings, and they have tested and found his thoughts on biodynamics, and schooling and human development sound. But cosmic beings? Did Steiner pay too much heed to the shadows of his own mind? If we accept biodynamics, do we have to accept Steiner's religious outlook? I'd like some clarifying comment on this. -- cheers, Mattmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Salt & asparagus
This is an old method, I guess - have it described in two books, one 1917 (Garden Steps) and 1893 (Gardening for Profit). From the latter: "The application of salt to Asparagus as a top-dressing is claimed to be of benefit in inland districts out of the range of a saline atmosphere, but is of little or no benefit in the vicinity of salt water. When used it should be applied in spring only, at the rate of half a pound per square yard, strewed on the surface; the rains will dissolve it and wash it down to the roots. Besides its beneficial effects upon the plant, it is to some extent destructive to the wire worm and other insects that are often troublesome to the Asparagus." I'm about 1/4 mile from the ocean and pile on eelgrass, after the asparagus harvest is finished - it goes straight from the shore (where it washes up) to the beds as a mulch for moisture and weed control - no rinsing to get rid of salt. The plants are healthy & trouble free - whether due to the salty eelgrass or maybe they just like it here, I don't know. Garlic & potatoes are also heavily mulched with eelgrass - it's free. (For now - I read last week that it's dying off along the coast here - like a lot of other stuff). __ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.

Sea water contains great amounts of the ORMUS elements. These are the same elements which are in paramagnetic rock dust. You can separate the ORMUS minerals from the salt in sea water by precipitating them out using lye (sodium hydroxide). Slowly add a lye/water solution (made using eighteen ounces of dry lye to a gallon of distilled water) to about 50 gallons of ocean water. You want to take the ocean water up to pH 10.78 and no higher. Let this set overnight. You will get about ten gallons of white precipitate from 50 gallons of ocean water. Once you have gotten the ocean water up to 10.78 pH you pour off the top water leaving the precipitate. This can be done on a boat or at the shore. The white precipitate will need to be washed three or four times with fresh water to wash out the salt and lye residues. The clean precipitate can be added to compost and BD preparations or applied directly to plants. You can read a short story about the first example of this (and see pictures of the giant walnuts produced) at: http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/walnuts.htm The precipitate was applied to the tree in the picture once at the rate of about two cups of precipitate in five gallons of water soon after the tree was planted (from a seedling) about four years ago. Additionally there has been some of the top water from the third wash of precipitate added a few times each year. Tomatoes grown on the same site using the same mix of precipitate in five gallons of water applied to a flat of tomato plants have shown increased yield and less acidic flavor from control plants on the same site. The method is described in greater detail at: http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/ormus/ormus2.htm Additional ocean water handling suggestions can be found at: http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/ocean.htm I have been ingesting this white precipitate for about five years now with great benefit and no ill effects. -- With kindest regards, Barry Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2319 Balm Baker City, Oregon 97814 Phone: 541-523-3357 Web Pages: Forest - http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/bmnfa/index.htm ORMUS - http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/whatisit.htm "The heart always brings new life to any situation and opens up possibilities that would have been impossible without it.

Spray Nozzles and Sprayers was Re: Sequential spraying for rain &equisetums role
I don't know about the rest of you, but I could sure use mentoring in picking a sprayer and in picking sprayer tips. I have to admit, I was pretty dumbed up as I looked at the wall of sprayer tips etc at TRACTOR SUPPLY the other day. I think I've outgrown my SOLO. I want something that will let me put more spray out faster. My solo has to be cleaned about every 5 minutes. A reflection of a larger problem, Im sure, but just the same, it gets very grating I'm thinking of getting an electric spot sprayer for my pickup and getting the longest hose possible for it. I'm expecting to be working in a non-tractor garden next season, or I'd be looking for a mechanical sprayer. Also, anyone on the list using that new line of Japanese backpack sprayers? The accessories advertised for them look superb (double nozzles, etc) I'd sure like some tips in picking tips and using in-line screens and filters.

Salt and Asparagus
A neighbor was bemoaning the slow down of his 12-year old asparagus patch and the perennial weeds that are starting to take it over. I remember hearing about a way to rejuvenate old asparagus by salting the beds. The salting also 'kills' the weeds. can anyone give me details on this technique? thanks -Allan

Seawater ?
Folks, It has been recommended by a local permaculture authority that I can remin my poor depleted Florida sands (soil) by using a 20:1 dilution of seawater. Supposedly the broad spectrum of elements in solution would be a temporary, but available source of minerals. Care must be taken to use it on established growing plants (not seedlings). I have read about Dr Murrays experiments with sea solids, and I know there is work being done using seawater to grow hydroponically, but I cant find any other references to this being practiced. Has anybody heard of this before? Comments on this would be appreciated ... seawater (although an hour drive away) is a lot easier to get here in Florida than any kind of igneous rock! Ed
