Thanks all for your input. The full moon stuff makes a lot of sense to me. I have gardened astrologically with amazing results. The most striking example I can think of is pumpkins. The pumpkins (dill's? atlantic giant? i think?) that were planted at an auspicious time were HUGE and vibrant..the ones planted a week later, not so. but they were still pumpkins...Will order both Andreas' Books recommended, also a Clark book. Knowledge is power. Am healing from my injury beautifully (was able to discontinue Antibiotics after 3 days, no infection) so we are planning our flush for this weekend. Thans Wren, for your detailed prep tips. Where do I find malic acid? o.d.ing on apple juice...
