Hi Folks,
An acquaintance told me she's heard of people using very thin copper
or silver wire to ward off insects and maybe other critters. The
wire is strung a few inches above the ground and runs up and down the
garden rows. Anyone heard of this? What is the principle behind it?
I assume

While i have not done it yet,(too many racoons) i understand that Hugh Lovel
finds an extraordinary symbiosis in growing weed-suppressive, nitrogen
fixing, cornfeeding soybeans thickly understory to his 3-row bean-feeding
corn beds, and clover/grasses in the permanent paths.

Wayne,
Your first responsibility is to your self and your land. Make the share
cropper work to your terms. I failed to do this twice. The first time a
share cropper used a herbicide and turned a really good clover paddock to
Rye dominate, which took fifteen years to come back. The second time, an

Hi! Glen/ James,
I think you hijacked James' statement and tried to turn your self into some sort
of victim. He was not as you suggesting you should feel threatened in the manner
you practice, that which you do.
James was taking about Field Broadcasters, which, by there very nature, are

Hi! All,
Cassuarina stricta (Allocassuarins vinalarus) can also be used. This is the
Drooping She Oak of SA & Vic. It has the ability to take up huge amounts of
silica. On granite country the timer can have up to 47% silica, dry weight,
while on the mean calcareous soils, only one or two percent.

Cassuarina cunningham, a tree used for windbreaks, serves as a substitute
for Equisetum in its anti-fungal role. I don't know if it will work as a
sub for the prep.
We have also used large grains, such as wheat, and oats, as green manures

If anyone wants to split an order, pls contact me off

Dear Tom,
I don't know if you saw Sharon and Wayne's response about MAP last week or
so...check the archives if necessary.
PS: I think those in the so called "White Brotherhood" should change their
