Hi! Merla, It is only by sharing, that we learn. I could be provicating and suggest: that at this stage we have no experts in this field. I am sure Phil Callahan would agree with me and I think Hugh would also, but there may be some egos that would not. One important thing to remember is that what works on one site may not on another. Steiner had soil in Europe that are quite unlike ours in Oz. On the coastal regions of the Eastern States (of Oz), they have great soil, compared with mine, but nothing like Steiner had. But my soil is magnificent compared with most of my bioregion. I have farmers asking for help and they have soil analysis with 0.01% soil carbon; salt at 1000 or more P.P.M.; pH of 9.6 or more and 94% calcium carbonate. It is like farming the beach between the tides, yet they grow some of the best barley and hard wheat in the world and good quality medium wool. I believe that we need to develop our own set of Preps, suited to our soils and conditions. I wonder if that may also be the case for the less European like parts of North America?
By the way, some years ago, I was officially shown to have osteoporosis. I went on colloidal minerals from glacial melt water, plus a mineral mix and in two years was told the original bone scans must have been faulty, as there was no sign. So go with your glacial sand, if available. Gil Merla Barberie wrote: > Thanks, Gil, for answering my uninformed message.
