Cheryl posted snake pepper instructions to BD now about a year ago for a guy
in mexico I think . My reading of steiner says its not the right time to
burn vertebrate pests for pepper. (November 2003 is the next time) If you
can get another copperhead next November, then I'd give it a try now - who
knows it may work well.

I would apply a snake pepper starting at the possible points of entry to the
house and blanket spray out to the perimeter from there - if you just spray
the perimeter you could end up fencing them in not out.

We have had no snakes around our house since putting up a paramagnetic rock
power tower three years ago - prior to that I was shooting three or four in
the backyard every summer - this year there were more brown snake bites in
our area than for many years (hospital statistics not my imagination) yet we
never saw one anywhere around our house or sheds - plenty of dust and I
didnt even see a track! You may want to try one of these towers - just needs
ten feet of 6inch plastic pipe and some rock.

HELP SMALL GROWERS GET USDA SUBSIDIES FOR CONSERVATION--CSP and EQIP

Send two emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
1.  Subject:  Conservation Security Program--due by March 10
2.  Subject:  Environmental Quality Incentive Program--due by March 12

Your comment will be printed in the official record.  If many small and
mid-sized farmers who retail locally,  and their consumers, don’t write
and make a direct case for these programs, they will be  underfunded,
unfunded and changed to only benefit large industrial growers.

Some issues cut across all areas of the country and all small and
mid-sized farms.  The term "resource of concern" is different for
different types of agriculture in different parts of the country.   You
need to let them know that you as an Idaho retail market farmer  of some
of the highest quality produce in the country are doing significant
conservation which is economically and socially important in your
community.  You want the program to work for a farmer such as yourself.
Such management practices as composting,, cover cropping, crop
rotations, mulching, compost tea applications, conservation of sparse
water resources in drought conditions, use of  a gravity-feed watering
system and drip irrigation, use of  a  solar electric system, diverse
cropping, use of cold frames and other season extenders, animals
integrated into your system, marketing strategies such as CSAs, Farmers
Markets, Farmstands, etc., your contribution to your Farmers Market and
the Market’s contribution to the community, how you increase
profitability with value added products, how you manage your woodlot to
heat your home, how you protect your crops from deer, elk, moose, and
bears with such things as New Zealand game fences. Get them to make the
CSP a conservation program that works for your land and for you.

If you need to understand more, there are fact sheets on
 and I have a draft of the CSP comment
by Western SAWG and would be glad to forward it to you if you request
it.

Please take the time to understand this and to make comments about both
of the programs.  The CSP action notice is from the Land Stewardship
Project  and the EQIP action notice is from
Western Sustainable Agriculture Working Group .

BD peppers applied at homeopathic potencies can work well, and applied
radionically with a field broadcaster pipe can be very effective too,
however its easier when the birds (or any mobile pest) have an alternative
venue. You also need to be mad enough at the birds to kill one for the
pepper or lucky enough to find a fresh one dead (road kill).

Hi Dorothy.
Good to hear from you. The fish thing has gone on hold, my brother has
managed to get whole fish markets for most of what he produces, and most of
that is going out as live fish to the Asian restaraunt trade, so my source
of fish remains has kinda dried up at the source. Dont know whether I am on
the right track but I see freshwater fish as a inferior product (to use for
crop nutrition) due to the fact that ocean fish have in the sea water a more
full spectrum of minerals. Thats no excuse for not making use of a resource
if its available! Anyway I am keeping watch on my brother in case the
marketing thing changes again. I will pass Bob's info along , my brother may
be interested in seeing him and everyone in agriculture should see Elaine's
seminar at least once.
Thanks and take care.

Re: Which wormwood?

[flylo]

I had the common wormwood, probably A. vulgaris (unsure) but it's 
the type wreathmakers like because it grows so tall. I say had. I 
thought you couldn't kill the stuff, but little by little, as they needed 
some, the goats would wander to the places it grew and eat on it. 
the horses did the same thing. I'm going to try growing it again, but 
on the basis of starting it somewhere the animals aren't pastured 
and only offering it to them rather than have them in on it free 
choice. 
It's probably best to let the cattle have it as they choose, but you'll 
have to replant it often if you do.

snake peppers

[Liz Davis]

Morning all,

With the rain has come the cooler temps, but still it is March and many
snakes are on the move for a mate.  Have managed to obtain a copperhead
snake which my wonderful dog killed, before it headed into the laundry.
Have spent some time thinking about the right time to catch a snake, the
answer as far as I'm concerned is never, but when one lands in your laundry
door, then it's time to make use of it. The copperheads are numerous in
these parts and have stopped me some years from working in the garden.  Only
want to put the pepper around the house yard and food gardens, they can have
the rest of the land.

Unable to bring myself to skin the snake, so have allowed the maggots, wasps
and ants to remove the innards.  It is at this point that I am unsure of
what to do to make a pepper.  Even unsure if whether or not leaving it to
the insects was the right thing to do?  The skin is still in good nick.

Have read previous posts on ashing and have lost the attachment Cheryl Kemp
sent to me on snake peppers, and the questions keep coming, such as:  Once
turned to ash how long is the pepper good for?  Is it best to keep in ash
form or potenise for storage. What colour should the ash finish at, and
would burning it out on the plough disc BBQ, with a lid over it be good
enough?  Do I apply it around the perimeter or over the land I want
protected?

Any answers, experience or suggested reading would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

L&L
Liz

Which wormwood?

[sherwood]

Folks,

I am in the process of trying to establish some 'improved' pasture for
cows (in actuality improve some established pasture).  The plan is to
follow the herbal ley concept and plant a mixture of forbs. My question
is, do all artemisia have worming properties? There are a multitude of
species (and cultivars) out there. A. vulgaris, A. absinthum, A. afra, A.
annua, Powis Castle, Silver Mound... Does anybody have any information or
experience that might help me select which one to (or not to) establish.

Information regarding herbal preferences of (and for) cattle is not very
plentiful. Any other recommendations would be appreciated. We're going to
try some different vetches and clovers, some trefoil, perennial peanut
(arachis) amongst others. Its been raining good recently and there's only
a few more weeks before the dry season kicks in. (April and May are dry,
the fronts don't make it all the way down and there isn't enough daytime
heating for the daily thundershowers of the summer). If we're going to get
it going, now is the time (frost date is next week!).

Thanks

Ed

P.S. Also been thinking about using a stirred yarrow prep soak to increase
germination vigor. Problem is, wet seed clumps and doesn't flow through
the spreader. Would the benefits of the soak be diminished if the soaked
seed is allowed to dry (overnight?)?

Dear James
 This below was part of your post to Roger recently -
Would you be able to explain this further please (if you have the time) as
it would seem that the dragon line is about where the recent rain stopped. I
guess I am thinking about the possible effects of deep irrigation bores on
underground energies, also there is a coal seam around oaklands that has had
extensive exloration in the recent few years. I should know where Mount
Elephant is but cant find a map in one piece to check it out. I'm interested
in your further thoughts.
