Go for it Merla, I did yesterday and today I feel a very different person. Dowsing with Alanna Moore was amazing. I found the pendulum to aid my focus, and when that was in place I could feel the energies change through me before the pendulum changed direction. Focus, intent and trust of self are what I feel are elements to dowsing. James Hedley showed me some interesting things which broadened my understanding of previous discussions on this link. Upon returning home I sat with an awe-like feeling of the energies I'd experienced. Looking forward to becoming more in tune with energies. L&L Liz

Dear Merla, Where can I find The Compost Tea Digest 121? Thanks Zoran

Hi! Merla, Gerber's Vibrational Medicine is a standard, if a bit daunting to read the first time. It is really the sort of book to have on the shelf to dip into when needed as few of us would be ready to retain all of it at first encounter. Re: measuring the temperature of compost. Most of us use our arm. Burrow your hand in and if it is too hot for comfort on the inside of your fore arm, it is working nicely. When it starts to be noticeably comfortable, it is time to turn the heap. This usually requires some redampening. Either have some one assist or set up some of those small fan sprays from a micro irrigation system. The aim is to have the dampness about the same as clothes just out of the spin dryer of a two tub washing machine. A lot of us use compounds made from non returnable freight pallets wired in fours. To extend, just add three more and you have a second pen When turning, remove the front one and take the top and put it in the bottom of the new pen next door. Then pull the middle of the first lot out and place the sides, front and back in the middle of the new heap and put the middle of the first on top. I have the micro fan sprays so they easily attach to the three sides of the pen and have a convenient tap for control and adjustment. The heap should heat up again after turning. It is preferable to turn at least twice in the life of a compost heap and will reduce time involved, if in a temperate climate. That is four to eight weeks in the clement parts of the Antipodes. While it is possible to get all misty eyed over the delights of fresh milk, the pastoral smell of fresh poo, contented cud chewing and tails flicking flys away, I would settle for getting the small amount of fresh cow poo else where.

Re: Droughts and rainmaking change to "Dreaming of Preps/Compost/Refractometer/Cow/Chickens"
I got my library to buy A Practical Guide to Vibrational Medicine by Richard Gerber that someone recommended a millennium ago. The chapter on Radionics was actually a history of inventors and practitioners. It helped a lot and some of it was hard for me to understand and then it was explained that the practitioner was a psychic which explained it all. I just need to start from square one and learn how to douse. Those of us who are neophytes need to start at square one to understand what Gil and Hugh and many others know by experience. There are so many things to learn. I buried 13 horns (got 12 from Joe, a friend in Priest River) with manure sealed with bentonite clay several days ago. (Hugh, how do you make horn clay?) Now I read Steve Storch's description of his horn burying and I want to dig mine up and rebury them with 2002 BD compost or some of the potting soil we put in barrels and sprayed with 500/BC. The Compost Tea Digest 121 is discussing plant respiration and taking brix measurements with a refractometer. I want really badly to do this in the 2003 season and am bothering my Weed Supervisor to let me buy a refractometer on the grant. I'm really concerned about testing for E. coli 157 in my compost pile. My husband made up the pile while I was gone to Lovettsville when he got the use of a truck. (Our truck has been in the shop for a year waiting for an engine rebuild. The engine is in pieces and our mechanic gets to it when he has time.) Herb says there was lots of bedding in the manure from miniature horses and a full-sized one, goats and emus and there was no need to layer it. I've never measured temperature in a compost pile, so I guess I need to buy a thermometer. What kind do I look for? We can't all be perfect. I keep bringing up buying a cow and my husband sighs and says it's impossible here. We would have to clear the trees off 7 acres (5 to grow hay for the winter and 2 for pasture in the summer) and build up the soil. We have to put up a NZ electric game fence and pay more property taxes because that would change the tax designation on the 7 acres. I'm also interested in having chickens, but he says that they would dig up the garden big time unless they were penned. A friend has invented a hen house with four entrances and a movable chicken wire framework. This is all very exciting and frustrating to me. I can dream, but putting things into practice is much, much harder.
