What you lost over the winter is organic matter, and it didn't really happen during a cold winter (depends where you live, of course) but in the spring, when all that action occurs with the warm temperatures. Plus natural settling. Yes, if your beds are low, the roots will grow into the ground. Of course this depends on how long the roots of your particular plants are and what your "gr

602. Re: vinegar on soil / plants - effects?

I'd say that this depends on whether your soil is alkaline or acid to begin with. Our soil where I live is alkaline (ph = 8) so I pour diluted vinegar on my potatoes. Since I've been doing this, there is no problem, ever, with scabby potatoes or insect infestation of any kind. I suspect that some of my other crops would benefit from a more acid soil, too. Need to look into this. So, it do

604. Raw Food Diet study by Lenka Zajic

Has anyone read this? Zajic's conclusion is that “There seems to be no question that, at least initially, eating a raw foods diet can reduce or cure many health complaints.”

Not that I can recall, but I will see if I can find the book somewhere on my shelf, and consult it, but I really don't think he explains precisely why. I know that he blames "concentrated carbohydrates", ie, all flour products and cooked heavy startchy foods, as well as refined sweets, for just about everything that's wrong with us healthwise.

607. Re: sprouting farmers

Re oxalates. Norman Walker said in his book on juicing that only cooked oxalic-acid-containing greens such as spinach, swiss chard, beet tops, etc. are harmful. So, according to him, you can eat and juice these raw greens. How 'bout that.

Glad you agree, powerlifer. CJJ: It's not only regular doctors, ie, MDs, who are ignorant, not to mention mean, sometimes. Naturopaths are not much better, except for the older ones (older than about 70 years of age). At least that is my experience. A good doctor isn't going to say, "My way or the highway!" if you have strong desires and beliefs regarding diet. A good doctor k

My opinions are much the same as yours, Phantom. We all need & deserve a complete death process. As to cremation, there's nothing remotely green or ecologial about it. Read up on the energy it takes. And, somehow, it is just plain ugly. Bodies are dense and wet. Burning them is stupid. Tamukha said to me, " Uh, Horsea, Pol Pot was vegan. Raised in a strict Buddhist family.

I don't see my statement as racist. It is a fact that far easterners have no compunctions about consuming cats and dogs. I appreciate, though, that you "assume the best" about my intent. I used to get mailings from an animal rights organization filled with details and photos of what the Koreans, in particular, liked to do to the family dog on picnics. Let's call a spade a spade, sha

I'd miss mine (my donated organs). Heck, there are even suckers giving up a kidney while they are still alive. No such patsy every wonders what the hell HE will do if his single remaining kidney goes kapoot. Where is it written that people are permitted two lives in one go? It's a little greedy, if you ask me.
