Dear Allan, You were asking about compost tea type shortcuts. This one does not deal with a compost tea type effect but a shortcut way of increasing the pH while putting out the 500. One of our local group members, Nigel White runs his 500 through flow forms random intermittently during the month

Chris, Gil, James et al, I don't recall reading on this list in discussion about trees as broadcasters that this was an additional burden on the trees. Do you recall who's post that was? Also, don't you think those tai chi practitioners are using chi from universal source, and not Nature, nor the

Why do you need to know about the bugs? I thought it was just the forces in the preps that we use, what have the bugs got to do with it? Well, again, yes and no. People have already received good reports on the soil foodweb analysis of their BC. The Pfeiffer Sprays actually have bacteria

Thank you, Tony, for a most useful message. This is along the lines that I had in mind and it's so nice to get a confirmation from many people on the list. The idea of sowing a reclamation mix of seeds right along with everything right at the beginning will spur me on to get this supply list

Jane, I was figuring on the void being the universal source, but am not really sure of what terminology to use at this point. I know that it fells like the heavy energy sinks (feminine) and the light energy rises (masculine) and in the middle something new is generated (son/product) so I guess

Right on Nancy. There are both physical and spiritual forces at work. If others want to go in on this, I am interested to see results of the physical soil activity. I am surprised Dr. Ingham has not done this type of count already. It is my understanding she did conduct one of her experiments
