Re: donkey in well
While we are on urban myths and unlikely stories.. I always enjoyed the one about the winery worker who was carried home dead by his work mates to the yet to be informed widow. The foreman solemnly told her how her husband died in a huge barrel of port. She inquired: Did he suffer much? No said the foreman, I don't think so. He came out three times to go to the toilet. Gil Tony Nelson-Smith wrote: Reminds me of the story of two mice who fell into a bucket of milk. One gave up swimming and drowned, the other kept going until it had created an island of butter, on which it could rest. Same moral - never give up - but how did this help it get out of the bucket? Also, no sting in the tail; nice one, Steve! Tony N-S. _ Worried what your kids see online? Protect them better with MSN 8 http://join.msn.com/?page=features/parentalpgmarket=en-gbXAPID=186DI=1059

Your right -Two cents from downunder - I reckon structure has much more to do with live critters than chemistry - also believe that our soil amendment programs should be focussed on encouraging beneficial soil life to the maximum rather than on 'correcting' soil chemistry Even with excellent calcium and magnesiumI often find soils with very poor structure. Have taken thousands of soil samples...my self, and watched the correlation between crops performance and the analysis. How good is that correlation? do you see the difficult to explain results? ie: good crops on out of balance soils and poor performances on occasions from some of the perfect paddocks? Here is a riddle for you...I have soils with 9-15% humus as listed by perrry ag lab/Kinsey, yet (some) of these soils are infertile. Why? plenty of choices here: #humus contains large percentage of 'raw' material going through active decomposition = temporary tieup of nutrients specially trace elements #the large amount of humus and extra soil water has diluted the nutrient level - traces again #where did the 'humus' come from originally , you could have all sorts of im balances , wood chips, straw, (high potassium) , feedlot manure -high in potassium and sodium salts. many possibilities. lets hear some more Cheers Lloyd Charles

Three-Up Tour compost tea brew
March/Early April eductional tour. Gary Zimmer, one of the US' foremost biological farming teachers, and Jerry Brunetti, Americas foremost Hi Allan Its on at Young in NSW - 27/28th March cost $270 Australian for the two days Thanks for the tip off On a different tack - I have some compost tea brewing - yes! aerated tea just like the experts tell us to do. Only in my old rectangular milk vat with paddle stirrer and sump pump recirculating the brew for aeration. I am struck by how absurdly simple it is to do now that I have got the basic principle figured out and have got away from all the hype of fancy, expensive, machines, and super duper -you beaut, expensive feeds. In 400 gal I put about 40 to 50 lb of good (BD prep'ed) compost (in a bag made from plastic flyscreen mesh) , which included a couple double handfuls each of BD Barrel compost and fresh Worm castings. Then for food 2 litres of molasses,1 litre liquid kelp, a beancan of powdered humate. It seems to me that low rates of feeding are the key to making aerobic tea with unsuitable equipment. This is just like biodynamics - experts make it seem t complicated when its really simple - so people turn away or dont do it for fear of doing it wrong. Cheers all Lloyd Charles
Re: Gil FW: [globalnews] Der Spiegel: Fundamentalist Bush Regime Wants
Dear Christianne, When we are looking for John Howard's motives regarding the threatened US invasion of Iraq it may pay to research the connections of Rupert Murdoch, John Howard and George Bush. Sometime early last year John Howard flew to the US for a 30 minute consultation with GWB. It was reported that he spent the rest of the evening having a private dinner with Rupert Murdoch. It was just after this that John Howard turned up the volume of the rhetoric supporting Bush. Does anyone on the list have any information on any connections between them I wonder what Murdoch has on Little Johnny Howard. What is in this whole affair that appeals to Rupert Murdoch as a media baron who is able to give distorted viewpoints with his wide media empire including ownership of Fox News.

I cannot comment on the American media, because I do not know it. I am thinking that globalnews is mostly American and there is stuff in there, we would not hear about in Australia. My main point for consideration, however, is Howard's labelling disagreeing Australians as being 'un-Australian', which has caught on and not been dismissed as a derogatory and slanderous way of belittling people and avoiding a public debate about issues.
