I think we need to keep reminding ourselves that we are all at different levels, (of our farming practices and personal development). I think that there are some basic rules that are the foundations of what we are trying to do and as long as we stay within those boundaries that most people are going to get a pleasing and beneficial result with very little risk of damage. - Basic stir and spray BD will deliver the goods if done with good observation, some common sense, and maybe a little outside advice for some. When / if we start to look at potentised remedies, the work of the Koliskos and Maria Thun if a good basis from which to begin - this basic work says to be very careful with certain potencies of certain things. When we start to extend the boundaries of what we are doing then we also need to extend the scope of our information system - we can engage the services of Gil, Glen or James, Hugh etc and in many cases that is the correct choice, OR we can follow along a few steps behind these fellows learning as we go and buying enough of their expertise to keep them going but at the same time freeing them from the mundane stuff so that the whole movement progresses at a much faster rate. In either case it is going to cost us something Dowsing is a simple tool that most people can do easily - why not add it to the tool kit and use it - sure there are potential problems - but no more than "intuition" or talking to the little people - they have been known to play tricks at times L Charles
