RE: Dinshah colours

Hugh, We do a lot of dowsing in our work to narrow down all kinds of approaches we use. We've looked at the "official" Dinshah guide some, but mostly we just do it intuitively; that is, change the colour aimed at the extraction process until it responds on the subtle levels. Frequently, the

Hugh, Your recent post about rain & the various techniques & instruments you use to help it form was interesting, & I am wondering if you use the Dinshah work for other ends in your farming?   I have an old Dinshah projector which I direct to the alchemical herbal extracts we make, and I hav

Greetings all, Just another note on vinegar here- at the organic garden center I work at, we just opened up a bottle of some of the weed-killer vinegar we carry for employees to try.   We tried it on some weeds in the parking lot, some dandelions & wild lettuce. Just a few sprays on the plan

Perry & Virginia, Thanks for the reports on vinegar as a weed killer! I work part time at an organic garden center, and we carry a 20% horticultural vinegar for weeds, but no one I know has tried it, so I did not want to suggest it in these recent discussions.   It is good to know that it d

Greetings all, I have to say I am a little alarmed by the recent discussions about Roundup- am I understanding correctly that Roundup is used by some on this list? Some of the posts seem to defend it a bit, unless I am confused here. Also, I suggest that folks look into another weed killer I have

Laura, What you've got there is Salsify, or Oyster Plant, Tragopogon porrifolius. It also comes in yellow, which is more common than the lovely purple-blue one you have.   It is caled Oyster Plant because the root has a seafood flavour, with hints of artichoke, and it is an old edible wild p

Deborah says "It crossed my mind after reading your post to wonder whether you were being asked to help heal that spot in some way, as a prelude to growing there..." I never thought of this- maybe I am working on this garden for someone else, yet to come. This also made me think that I might be f

Dave, Do you mean the May 5 meeting? If so, I won't be there, unfortunately- I will be in Berkeley at an Ayurvedic conference selling my Spagyric/alchemical herbal extracts. I look forward to going to later meetings when possible. I am just starting with the BD, but I really want to see the preps

Nelson, I have wondered about this, too, "bad" elementals (I know nothing natural is bad, maybe just destructive). Anyway, that happened to me, here, too. The first year I was here, I picked a garden site with the usual methods. I looked where the sun was, drainage, where the weeds were tallest,

Monte, Glad to hear you are having a good crop down there. Up here in the Willamette valley, we had sort of fits & starts to the Spring. It got wet, then warm, then wet some more, and I could just feel those spongy little guys out there, then it got really cold. A collector I know said that the p

My vision is not deteriorating but I believe that I'm still developing spiritually. Tony N-S. That made me smile, because over the past 3 years or so, I was in real denial about needing glasses. I had been in the desert, then moved to the Pacific NW, and the lower light & higher humidity comb
