Notes from the last Meeting on Monday 28th November 2022:
Thank
you again to Brenda for these.
Jennifer Hewison gave a talk on the importance of healthy soils. She outlined the three types of soil analysis: Physical (texture and structure), Chemical and
Biological. The ideal texture is 20% clay, 40% silt and 40% sand. The ideal soil structure is 50% air; 50% water.
Jennifer demonstrated the art of making a soil ribbon test using one hand to find out more about your soil’s texture and structure. She discussed
soil management: Erosion control, water control and fertility, as well as crop rotation. Soil improvers include biodynamic preparations, rock minerals, nitrogen fixers and biochar.
An important but lesser known area is the ‘Energy’ component of soil - subtle energies such as cosmic radiation, magnetic earth grids, magnetic and
electrical fields and vortices, planetary influences, ELF (extra low frequency) and infrared radiations of earth and sky.
She covered topics such as the electro-magnetic elements in soil, how plants and micro-organisms excrete fulvic and humic acids specifically to
break down rocks into usable (not soluble) minerals. Rock dust can supplement soils but not all rock dusts have para-magnetic qualities. There have been controlled experiments with “para-magnetic” dusts and garden structures.
Australia’s basalt, igneous rocks do not
contain calcium. The greatest elements are magnesium and iron plus other igneous combinations. Aussie soils are also deficient in selenium. Rock dust breaks down very slowly and nourishes the soil. A local source of rock dust with para-magnetic qualities sells the brand called “Healthy Earth”.
Some recommended topics and books:
Biodynamics: Rudolf Steiner, etheric and telluric subtle forces and “Secrets of the Soil” by Peter Tomkins
Structured Water: Vortexing “Living Water” by Victor Schauberger.
“The
secrets of Natural Energy” by Olof Alexandersson and Dan Winter
Website: www.theimploder.com
Electroculture: Copper as conductor - “The Application of Electricity to Seeds in Vegetable Growing” by Alexander Carr
Bennet.
Videos etc. found on ‘Self Reliance and Food Storage” telegram channel etc.
Paramagnetics: Para-magnetic rock dusts, towers - “Paramagnetism” and “Rediscovering Nature’s Secret Force of Growth”
by Phillip Callahan -
“The Enlivened Rock Powders” by Harvey Lisle.
She also suggested we research the
following fascinating topics:
Korean Natural Farming: Fermented plant juices, indigenous micro-organisms, etc.
Homa therapy – Agnihotra: Ancient vedic principles and practice.
Dr Ulrich Berk - President of the German association of Homa therapy.
Scientific research on Agnihotra and Homa Therapy - Bruce
Johnson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRqYqHPE_zU

Jennifer kindly gifted free packets of soil micro-organisms to those who attended the meeting. The supplier’s info sheet was available for
people to read and copy details.
Po Mei mentioned locals involved in some of these areas.
These
included:
Michael Roads - He lives in the area near Mapleton but known around the world - awaken!

Biodynamics:
Rob Birse - He does the cow horn and it is a lovely hands on experience - in Mapleton.
Graham - (Grakay
Pottery, just at the bottom of Postman Track) He is the more traditional Biodynamics)
