I am glad to hear that your University work is going well and that Kerry is obtaining great satisfaction in teaching the Ecological Agriculture course.
I differ to you with the effect of the Monaro high plains. It enlivens and revitalises me. Anywhere close to the Snowy River is God's own country. That does not mean that man lives in harmony with the gods in that country.
I see that there are three factors operating in that country:
1. Overgrazing, and
2. The diversion of most of the snow melt to the west, and the production of hydro electricity.
3. The granite is mostly positive charge, hard enough on plants at any time, and the effect of this is exacerbated by the flow of positive electrons from the hydro schemes, running through the geopathic stress lines and the electricity transmission wires.
One of the trials being conducted at Dalgetty is a coil which I have developed which is able to overcome the geopathic stress effect over very large areas. It is in simple terms a negative ion generator coil, which is very simple to build. The prototype was developed by A. Manning in 1922 to overcome geopathic stress lines (GSL's) around and through houses in Britain and Europe.
As you know I have been working on coils to remove GSL's for some time now, none of which have proved to be very effective until I applied Manning's principle to the GSL's.
My aim in this small trial is to increase growth and decrease compaction on the TSR compared to the surrounding area, and to increase rainfall over the target areas. Even although the rainfall may be a long call I know that increasing growth of the pasture will be achievable.
As for the rabbit breeding trials when you are ready let me know. it is a smart idea on your part to look at proving/disproving the hypothesis that peppers can interfere with the reproductive cycle of rabbits.
Good luck

Hi Roger, James, Lloyd et al
You wizards always get me thinking. Firstly the energy of the Manaro plains, do you think the energy is caused from what Lloyd said about overgrazing? I've driven through that country several times and it is very depleted, a draining energy and often barren, yet that is not how it was. I had the pleasure of driving through there with a ranger, whose family had been in the area for 5 generations. How he described the changes were mostly due to grazing. What's the compaction like anyone know?
Secondly the peppering, from the little I know the reproductive system should be affected. Now I know that lab. research is not the real thing, but could this not be tested in a controlled environment experiment. If I was to house pairs of rabbits separately, and treat some with a pepper. This sort of experiment could show physical changes, behaviour changes or drop of reproductive rate & numbers? Is it worth observing to that degree and further regarding planet influences? It's an area I'd like to work in and wonder if this is where I could put scientific research of BD into action? Or would I be better off pursuing the preps??? I have the honour of having a wise and well published scientist at the uni, who is willing to guide me in whatever I pursue. He says with all that he's done the greatest of these is teaching Ecological Agriculture. Feel as though this is a chance for some sort of research and my heart/head/hands are with BD. Have to admit I'm a bit ahead of myself, but my marks are being maintained for an honours research year, so would like to consider some options. All feedback welcome, thanks.
Markess any words of wisdom?
