Re: Perfect Orchard-Calcium
Dear Roger, You state, 500, 501 and the other preparations are miracles-in-being whose greatness, despite the passage of time, has in no way been fully realised. Similarly we have hardly explored the energies available to us naturally (and I don't mean fossil fuels). The opportunity to do so - indeed, I feel I should say 'necessity' - is upon us. From now until the bombs start falling, and never mind that the time of year or month is 'incorrect', make preparations for the future. After the last desperate empirical doomed-to-failure grasp of the 'western' nations at world supremacy is over, we will all be too busy chopping wood and carrying water! 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. James Hedley
Re: ADMIN: Re: Science article on BD
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! Gil Allan Balliett wrote: Broke both of the golden rules with one click of the mouse.
ALBRECHT LAB was: Re: Perfect Orchard ?? Brookside Lab
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. http://www.soilfirst.com/soilfirst_frame.html EarthWorks Natural Organic Products 6574 S. Delaware Drive P.O.

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.

There you can find both a blank soil test form (results ie what's quantified) and, I believe, the interpretive commentary.
