> How do I find out the details on Steve Storch's > recipe for sequential spraying?
Hi Steve Diver The following are post i have kept from S Storch, the one i used i have lost due to a computer failure. I have it on hard copy it should be in BDNOW archives as SFW Compost Tea for Fertility dated Wed Jan 16 2002 I am not as advanced as SS in prep making so i have adjusted the ingredients a little to what is available to me . All the evening sprays I add worm pee [aka Worm leachate] The worm farms get alll the BD preps and organic fertilisers, molasses etc this gives me a smell free material that i can safly use on flowers , since we pick 6 days a week this is an important factor. I start my spraying the week of full moon and spray every 2 months Cheers Tony R > North American Barrel Compost Recipe 1. 501 2. Barrel Compost 3. 508 4. 505 5. horn clay 6. 500 7. 501 / 508 This is my spray sequence that I feel is most suitable for the North American continent. I start it off with a silica based barrel compost, I then proceed through the sprays asap, any questions??? This is a freebee that took me years to develope, use it or lose it.

Our new planting of strawberries looked fantastic with no irrigation. Cloudy weather and rainy the last two weeks, a few sunny days. Our strawberries have ripened and we are already picking a week. Fantastic color, luster, and flavour. So good the birds risk stealing them from the trays at the back of the store. I spoke to a chemical farmer yesterday, they won't have strawberries for two more weeks. Do you think they will catch on??? spray program 1.
