Dear Alan, Greetings from the Land of the Wizards of Oz. Peppering is such a complex subject that it is difficult to cover in a few lines or even a few pages. The only way to learn about peppering is to do it. The worst that can happen is that it does not work for you. There are maybe some common rules that we have learnt; [1] There are no rules. [2] Plants grown under good cultural conditions seem to resist insects. [3]Whatever you do, you need to do it in a barren moon, preferrably in a fire sign Sagitariius, Aries, or Leo. Burn it, start it decomposing, sometimes even just squashing the insect at that time. [4] Spray out and potentise your pepper during a fire sign moon. Use Llewellyns calendar not the BD calendar, they work on different zodiacs. [5] It is the intensity of the bio electromagnetic field that you broadcast that makes the difference. The strength of the magnetic field in the instrument makes the difference, not so much the pepper. [6] Insects are easy to do, weeds are more complex.
I use the fire sign moons because I know that I can consistently get it to work for me. However with all the experience that Barbara and I have developed over the years, peppering is a line of last resort and is not to be relied upon. Use peppering as a preventative method before there is a problem, you know if you grow something in a particular area what your problems are going to be. This is just to start the discussion rolling again.
