All persons interested in horticulture can benefit from learning about
Essential Microorganisms of Dr. Teruo Higa of Okinawa. His books are
entitled Earth Saving Revolution One and Two. Check amazon. There
are several EM websites you can find also.

Evening John,
Wayne: How old are you NOW? Can you still run up a flight of
stairs? :-)
Yes, of course. Two or three flights, maybe not 8 or 10.
Current age, 65.5
I have no back problems and still lift anything I am strong enough to
lift. A year or two ago I was helping my son load some cross ties on
a trailer. After it was over, I realized this was a good test for my
back. If I had any weak disks, this would have tested them very
effectively.
I can still work 24 to 30 hours straight. I tell all my younger
friends, If you can't work 24 hours, you are not healthy. Many
people tell me they cannot work 24 hours straight. Likely I could
still do 36 to 40. Have not done this test lately.

I try to take care of my dog. I give her filtered water with
CS. Also feed her raw eggs, raw milk, turkey necks and whole raw
chicken, plus vitamin supplements. When she got sick once, I gave
her the same vitamins I take. I was mixing powdered vitamins with
water and pouring them down her.
Here are a few pictures of some of my wild and domestic food.
I found the blooms so pretty, I had to make a few pictures.
The ones that got my attention was the wild huckleberries. I have a
number of bushes, two of which are full bloom. It is interesting the
others have set fruit and I am eating them daily.
I noticed the blackberries to be the same. Some have lost their
blooms and have small berries, while others are still in full flower.
Of course I planted early, mid season, and late blueberries which
gives me near two full months of blueberry harvest.

This one with the name,
http://www.fugitt.com/files/berry0428/blueberry_one_half.JPG
One half, only shows about half the bush. Originally, I had 450
bushes. One tornado transplanted a few into a neighbors field, and a
few have bit the dirt for other reasons. I planted this field in > 1980.
The Mulberries are the best and sweetest of all berries, and they get
ripe early.
The pictures do not show this well, but some are red already. They
change from green to red and then blue. Wild critters get more
mulberries than I do.
Finally, you will see a few beehives required to pollinate melons,
peas, wildflowers, and most berry crops.
It is interesting that honey bees don't work the blueberries. It is
bumble bees that do most of the pollination of the blueberries.
I did not reduce the resolution of these pictures. Average 350 to 500
