Hi LD Di: I don’t remember the rest of the readings how fuzzy they were. I just remember the tomatoes because of their extreme fuzziness. I think the squashes that read 9 were also pretty fuzzy. These brix readings are from leaf sap, not from fruit.   [End]

Hi ML: Drip kit came in the mail today. Will save me several hours of watering and fertilizing each week. Planning to fertilize with a mix of alkalizing drink and manure tea. I am afraid that fish emulsion will clog up driptape. Any thoughts or suggestions?   [End]

Hi Moreless: Dropped in to tell you the good news that my garden is doing great this year. Very little insect damage. Usually because I was slow in feeding the soil life with bsm, fish, seaweed, dissolved bonemeal, gypsum and limestone in ACV. Haven’t been checking brix, sorry. Whatever time i have has been spent observing, mulching, fertilizing and foliar feeding. Got an abundance of lettuces, snow peas, and chard and mustards. Romaine lettuce is very sweet. Right now the tomatoes and beans and squash and peppers have fruit maturing on them. Squash leaves are HUGE. Herbs are thriving. ...

Thanks, ML: I’ve got 60 bags of leaves in the backyard for mulch that i got by driving around the neighborhood. My neighbors must have thought I was crazy. I have been considering getting a conductivity meter together with a ph meter if they are not priced out of range. I just finished reading Dan Skow’s, Mainline Farming for the 21st Century. Since I will be using natural ingredients that i have, it will be helpful to learn when they and the soil are anionic or cationic, so that i may have a more scientific way of judging why what i did worked or didn’t work? Is fish a good source ...

Hi ML: My seedlings appear off to a good start. They sprouted within a few days, indicating that there is a good amount of energy conducive to growth? In the past it seemed to take weeks. Do I fertilize the seedlings with a dilute solution of fish, seaweed and molasses? When do I start fertilizing and foliar feeding? In case you need to know what seedlings they are:beets, Japanese greens, Chinese broccoli, Green chard, cress, mustard, bok choy, tomato, kale, lettuce, snow peas, spinach. Thanks, again. RC   [End]

But I have a question as to what kind of plants had the aphid problem and do you know what their Brix readings were during this time of problem with the aphids and were the plants Lush Green and growing, or did the plants seem to not be Lush and growing? Reply:The plants were rape and baby bok choy. When they had the aphid problem, the brix readings were 3-5. They were somewhatlush, green and growing.

Can’t get DAP from the farm supply here in the fall. I had some humic acid on hand and so I tried dissolving the bonemeal in a stronger solution of acid and then diluting it before applying with fish and molasses. Worked great! The brix of my plants now range from 8 to 16. Wasn’t high enough on the plants with aphids to get rid of them, but I consider the brix readings a great success since this is my first season at it. Thanks for the tips. Question: Will burying fish waste multiply the fireants in garden and yard? I’ve got two little ones who play a lot in the backyard. My broccoli ...

Hi Clee, Our 2 year old son also have eczema. Last year this time was the worst and after spending $1000.00 on an alternative doctor we decided to do our research.

My Friend’s father with prostate cancer after going on the Budwig protocol and the alkalizing drink just went for a PSA test. His readings were down from 18 to 12. The lady who worked at the lab for seven years said that in all these years she had never seen the readings go down! They only keep rising. He is now addicted to the alkalizing drink because it improves his mood and gives him so much energy! Thanks ML!   [End]

Hi ML, I just got barely enough mulch from my law and falling leaves a few days ago. Now I have noticed an infestation of aphids. I’m also trying to mineralize my lawn. Anyway, what do I do? You told GRZ to keep using diatomaceous earth for ticks. Will that work for aphids? This is what you said: Answer: Diatomaceous earth is a Safe product to use ! If it works for you to help control Ticks, then I would continue to use it ! I do not have a lot of experience with Ticks, but they would be like any other Lower Life forms, in that they could not stand Higher amounts of certain Rele ...

Another encouraging testimonial: A friend with prostate cancer went on the Budwig protocol using cottage cheese and flaxseed with a diet of vegetables and also adding the alkalizing drink supplying the big missings in our diet, omega-3 fatty acids(delivered in a water-soluble form in combination with sulphur containing amino acids) and alkaline minerals. In just a few weeks has noticed that his back pains are gone, his mood has greatly improved and his energy levels are way up. Thank you. I’ve started foliar feeding with seaweed.

Hi Ld Di: If you go back up the thread to read ML’s answer to me, he said that the 100 tons to 1 acre was done just once to prove that it could be done. His advice to me was to go slow. Below is his advice to invincible: For 250 sq feet of garden you may use the following amounts: Ground Limestone(Calacitic), which is Limestone which is high in Calcium--12#-24# Ground Granite or rock of similar make up--6#-12# Ground gypsum---3#-6# Bone meal--3#-6# Best to mix these together before time and then spread them on the ground and work in to top soil !

You mentioned that you had applied 100 tons of limestone to one acre of garden. Was that in one application or was that over a period of years? If the latter, how many? I have 3 tons of superfine aglime(limestone not calcium. hydroxide)which I am working into the yard and garden. In about 500-600 square feet I have applied 15-20 cubic feet of limestone(5 wheelbarrow loads 0f 4 cubic feet not quite full) together with texas greensand(5% potassium, 10% iron), gypsum and bonemeal in the ratio 4:2:1:1.

Hi ML: Since we are trying to build up the soil life to produce the humic and fulvic acids to feed the plants alkaline minerals, isn’t chlorinated city water opposed to the goal we’re trying to achieve? Before I spend money on a chlorine filter for my garden hose, I wanted to see what you thought about it. I don’t know the ppm of Chlorine the city uses. Do you use chlorinated water and still get high brix plants? If you are concerned about costs, I can get a standard water filter housing for $40 and a good quality GAC/KDF standard water filter cartridge for $21, rated for 20,000 gallons. ...

I would like to think that they are alkalizing but they proved not to be for our 2 year old. We are dealing with his eczema. We were sprouting our own grains and feeding him homemade cereal for breakfast and afternoon snacks, after about 2 to 3 weeks of this, he started waking up at night itching again. That made us realized that we had been feeding him too much carb, which is acid-forming. LL   [End]

We gave him a detox footbath tonight. He’s sleeping like a baby. The farmers market produce tested 4 and 5 for veggies. Below average, but it was still some of the best veggies we have tasted. It goes to show how bad our produce is. I have several questions that I ...

When the blood is too acidic, and the acid begins scarring the interior walls of the blood vessels, cholesterol builds up and sticks to artery walls and protects them from the acid. High blood pressure is another life-saving strategy of the body. When the arteries becomes constricted, the heart must pump more pressure to bring th ...
