Wild Foraging - enjoy nettle soup, rose petal syrup, bambles and poor mans potatoes....

Hedgerow by John Wright is a good read if you enjoy food :D I bought this book a year or two ago and was having a early morning Boxing day read, next to our cozy fireplace, with the winter wind storm howling outside.


Its all about "Wild Foraging" - which is collecting your food from nature ...a traditional, age old, hunter, gatherer skill. 


Obviously the fruits of the hunt vary from region to region, country to country but the more that one learns about useful 'weeds' which are easy to grow, without pesticides and tasty to boot - the sooner you too can be enjoying your hunt. 


Each year, we personally enjoy yummy treats like nettle soup, rose petal syrup, bambles and poor mans potatoes. You can grow your own from slips etc, just be absolutely certain with your identification!

What is an earthship?

An Earthship is an alternative method of building.  An earthship is often created out of recycled materials such as tyres.  Although it has become a type of passive solar house made of natural and recycled materials. Earthships also usually incorporate their own special natural ventilation

Earthships are now also formally designed and marketed by several companies such as Earthship Biotecture of Taos, New Mexico.

They are still generally made of earth-filled tyres and thermal mass construction naturally regulates indoor temperature. They also usually have their own special natural ventilation system. 

Earthships are generally Off-the-grid homes, minimizing their reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels. 

Earthships are built to utilize the available local resources, especially energy from the sun. For example, windows on sun-facing walls admit lighting and heating, and the buildings are often horseshoe-shaped to maximize natural light and solar-gain during winter months. The thick, dense inner walls provide thermal mass that naturally regulates the interior temperature during both cold and hot outside temperatures.

Internal, non-load-bearing walls are often made of a honeycomb of recycled cans joined by concrete and are referred to as tin can walls. These walls are usually thickly plastered with stucco.

The roof of an Earthship is heavily insulated – often with earth or adobe – for added energy efficiency.

History

The Earthship, as it exists today, began to take shape in the 1970s. 

Mike Reynolds, founder of Earthship Biotecture, a company that specializes in designing and building Earthships, wanted to create a home that would do three things; first, it would be sustainable architecture, using material indigenous to the entire planet as well as recycled materials wherever possible. Second, the homes would rely on natural energy sources and be independent from the “grid”, therefore being less susceptible to natural disasters and free from the electrical and water lines that Reynolds considered unsightly and wasteful. Finally, it would be economically feasible for the average person with no specialized construction skills to be able to create.

Water-less Toilet Systems !

Why do people get queasy when the subjects of toilets come up?  Its a natural body function and water - based toilet systems pollute huge volumes of water unnecessarily.  Imagine that with a world population of 7 billion!

We, personally successfully used a compost toilet system for 2 years on our small farm.  It was virtually oudorless too.  We used sawdust as a sprinkling on top each time.

There are a variety of water-less toilet systems.  I have seen some that seperate solid and liquid waste and use the liquid waste for ammonia/urea.

Planting out

We spent the afternoon planting out a few of our little seedlings.  We planted some naturtiums, beans and gooseberries and some tomatoes - all seedlings.  This year we tried something we saw at our local polytunnel project:


toilet rolls cut in half and placed in a long germination box (instead of the plastic trays).  We felt the plastic trays are not strong enough to last more than a season and then they just become a waste product as they cant be reused so we felt that using the toilet rolls was a recycling project.  

The one problem we did have though was that they seemed to cause? a bit of mould but the seedlings recovered and we seemed to get it under control.  This did not happen when we planted in other seedling trays.

Not sure what we will acheive this year as the past two years there were way to many slugs, snails and the wind was too harsh even in the short summer season for anything to grow.  As we dont use any form of pesticides we are at a loss of what to do.  We also had trouble with neighbour hood cats burying their business in our seed boxes.  Because the soil is so poor, mostly beach sand below the grass we use compost and bagged soil in recycled fisherman trays.  We use odd pieces of fishermans nets that wash up on the beach in storms to cover these trays and protect them from the neighbourhood cats. 

It works quite well and we have quite a few herbs and onions and chives that are now about 3 years old growing very well in them.  We also have a recycled tyre tower which we fill with manure and compost during the winter and then plant potatoes in them in the summer. Last year we grew quite a few.....

We also have a couple of herbs and veges growing on the more protected front porch.  We have managed to grow celery from bottom offcuts, onions the same way and have time, mint, sage, an apple tree, a blackthorn berry tree, strawberry planter and a few others crammed in there with some willow cuttings in a big pot besides. 

It really is proving to be difficult growing things in this climate of very short, windy summers.  Luckily we have a suplus of horse manure that we have access to from our ponies and also ample cattle dropping from the common grazings (which are writhing with earthworms) so thing should inprove.  Its just a process and time passes by.

Why Monsanto Always Wins...

Extract:

Like the GE corn and soybeans that now dominate agribusiness, Roundup Ready alfalfa is genetically engineered to tolerate glyphosate-based herbicides like Monsanto's Roundup. Farmers can plant Roundup Ready crops and blanket their fields with the herbicide knowing that weeds will be killed and the Roundup Ready crops will be spared.

The increased reliance on glyphosate-based herbicides like Roundup has caused weeds to develop their own tolerance to the chemical. Herbicide-resistant weeds, sometimes called "superweeds," now infest millions of acres of cropland. Farmers now combat the weeds with cocktails of herbicides like 2,4 D - an ingredient in Agent Orange - that are know to be more toxic than glyphosate. In all, farmers have used at least 318 million more pounds of herbicides and pesticides in the past 13 years as a result of planting GE crop seeds like Roundup Ready corn and soy.

Science, Spirituality, and Some Mismatched Socks

Researchers Turn Up Evidence of 'Spooky' Quantum Behavior and Put It to Work in Encryption and Philosophy

By GAUTAM NAIK

One of quantum physics' crazier notions is that two particles seem to communicate with each other instantly, even when they're billions of miles apart. Albert Einstein, arguing that nothing travels faster than light, dismissed this as impossible "spooky action at a distance."
The great man may have been wrong. A series of recent mind-bending laboratory experiments has given scientists an unprecedented peek behind the quantum veil, confirming that this realm is as mysterious as imagined.

Rethinking Einstein

Some key developments around one of quantum physics' weirdest notions: that two particles can affect each other even when they are billions of miles apart.

• More interactive graphics

Quantum physics is the study of the very small -- atoms, photons and other particles. Unlike the cause-and-effect of our everyday physical world, subatomic particles defy common sense and behave in wacky ways. That includes the fact that a photon, which is a particle of light, exists in a haze of multiple behaviors. They spin in many ways, such as "up" or "down," at the same time. Even trickier, it's only when you take a peek -- by measuring it -- that the photon fixes into a particular state of spin.
Stranger still is entanglement. When two photons get "entangled" they behave like a joint entity. Even when they're miles apart, if the spin of one particle is changed, the spin of the other instantly changes, too. This direct influence of one object on another distant one is called non-locality.
These peculiar properties have already been proven in a lab and tapped to improve data encryption. They could also one day be used to build much faster computers. Some philosophers see quantum phenomena as a sign of far greater unknown forces at work and it bolsters their view that a spiritual dimension exists.
"We don't know how nature manages to produce spooky behavior," says Nicolas Gisin, a scientist at Geneva University, who led a recent experiment demonstrating action-at-a-distance. "But it's a fascinating time for physics because it can be mastered and exploited."
Einstein refused to believe that a photon could be in all states at once and set out to find an explanation for their seemingly odd behavior. God doesn't play dice with the universe, he said at the time. Danish physicist Neils Bohr, a big proponent of quantum uncertainty, shot back: "Quit telling God what to do."
Trying to poke holes in the notion of spooky action at a distance, Einstein and two colleagues published a paper in 1935 that appeared to demonstrate the existence of mysterious "hidden variables" and show that quantum theory was incomplete. In a seminal 1964 paper, Irish physicist John Bell raised questions about the mathematical validity of Einstein's work.

In a 1981 paper, Mr. Bell took a swing at Einstein's notion of "hidden variables" by relating the sock-wearing patterns of his physicist colleague Reinhold Bertlmann. Mr. Bell noted that if he saw one of Mr. Bertlmann's feet coming around the corner and it had a pink sock, he would instantly know, without seeing the other foot, that the second sock wouldn't be pink. To the casual observer that may seem magical, or controlled by "hidden variables," but it was no mystery to Mr. Bell because he knew that Mr. Bertlmann liked to wear mismatched socks.
Quantum particles behave a lot more oddly, and, thanks to Mr. Bell's work, experiment after experiment has shown that to be true.
Last year, Dr. Gisin and colleagues at Geneva University described how they had entangled a pair of photons in their lab. They then fired them, along fiber-optic cables of exactly equal length, to two Swiss villages some 11 miles apart.
During the journey, when one photon switched to a slightly higher energy level, its twin instantly switched to a slightly lower one. But the sum of the energies stayed constant, proving that the photons remained entangled.
More important, the team couldn't detect any time difference in the changes. "If there was any communication, it would have to have been at least 10,000 times the speed of light," says Dr. Gisin. "Because this is such an unlikely speed, the conclusion is there couldn't have been communication and so there is non-locality."
Other scientists have gotten a more direct look at the particles' secret behavior. They pulled off this feat by resolving something called Hardy's paradox, which basically addressed one of the trickiest aspects of quantum physics: by observing a particle you might affect its property.
In 1990, the English physicist Lucien Hardy devised a thought experiment. The common view was that when a particle met its antiparticle, the pair destroyed each other in an explosion. But Mr. Hardy noted that in some cases when the particles' interaction wasn't observed, they wouldn't annihilate each other. The paradox: Because the interaction had to remain unseen, it couldn't be confirmed.
In a striking achievement, scientists from Osaka University have resolved the paradox. They used extremely weak measurements -- the equivalent of a sidelong glance, as it were -- that didn't disturb the photons' state. By doing the experiment multiple times and pooling those weak measurements, they got enough good data to show that the particles didn't annihilate. The conclusion: When the particles weren't observed, they behaved differently.

Some researchers are using the uncertain state of photons to solve real-world problems. When encrypting sensitive data such as a bank transfer, both the sending party and the receiving party must have the same key. The sender needs the key to hide the message and the receiver to reveal it. Since it isn't always practical to exchange keys in person, the key must be sent electronically, too. This means the key (and the messages) may be intercepted and read by an eavesdropper.
An electronic key is usually written in the computer binary code of "ones" and "zeros." Quantum physics permits a more sophisticated approach. The same "ones" and "zeros" can now be encoded by using the properties of photons, like spin. If someone intercepts a photon-based message, the spins change. The receiver then knows the key has been compromised.
MagiQ Technologies Inc. of Cambridge, Mass., refreshes its quantum keys as often as 100 times a second during a transmission, making it extremely hard to break. It sells its technology to banks and companies. Dr. Gisin is a founder of ID Quantique SA in Switzerland. The company's similar encryption tool is used by online lottery and poker firms to safely communicate winning numbers and winning hands. Votes cast in a recent Swiss federal election were sent in a similar way.
Because of its bizarre implications, quantum theory has been used to investigate everything from free will and the paranormal to the enigma of consciousness. Several serious physicists have devoted their lives to the study of such ideas, including Bernard d'Espagnat. In March, the 87-year-old Frenchman won the prestigious $1.5 million Templeton Prize for years of work affirming "life's spiritual dimension."
Based on quantum behavior, Dr. d'Espagnat's big idea is that science can only probe so far into what is real, and there's a "veiled reality" that will always elude us.
Many scientists disagree. While Dr. d'Espagnat concedes that he can't prove his theory, he argues that it's about the notion of mystery. "The emotions you get from listening to Mozart," he says, "are like the faint glimpses of ultimate reality we get" from quantum experiments. "I claim nothing more."

"Indestructible Survival Seed Bank™ (Can Be Buried) included a special 81-page manual called *Survival Gardening With Heirlooms*. It's designed to help anyone (beginner or expert), cultivate a highly productive crisis garden. Written by a survivalist

"Remember, non-hybrid seeds can be grown practically anywhere and have the ability to assimilate mineral and trace elements from the soil that man made plants just don't seem to have. That's because they were created by God as we read in Genesis:

And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.""

New Survival Seed Bank™
Lets You Plant A
Full Acre Crisis Garden! 

 

New "Survival Seed Bank™" Produces Thousands Of Pounds Of Nutrient-Dense Food For Pennies Per Pound... Enough To Feed Friends And Family Forever!

Now you can grow all the survival food you will ever need anywhere in the country with a kit that contains a special seed bank of hard to find, open pollinated... super seeds, grown by small, fiercely independent farmers.

Let's face it. If the stories coming out on the world's food supply are even half right, we've got real problems and they aren't going to go away quickly. Here are a couple stories that I ran across recently:

• WorldNet Daily cites strong evidence that some government agencies are stockpiling huge amounts of canned food.
• Jim Randas, former U.S. Intelligence officer, appeared on ABC telling Americans to start stockpiling food.
• Grocery store prices are rising faster than any time in U.S. history.
• Worldwide grain stocks are dropping precipitously as bio-fuels consume inventories... and on and on and on.

You don't have to be an Old Testament prophet to see what's going on all around us. A desperate lower class demanding handouts. A rapidly diminishing middle class crippled by police state bureaucracy. An aloof, ruling elite that has introduced us to an emerging totalitarianism which seeks control over every aspect of our lives.

As the meltdown progresses, one of the first things to be affected will be our nation's food supply. Expect soaring prices along with moderate to severe shortages by spring. If you don't have the ability to grow your own food next year, your life may be in danger. Supply lines for food distribution in this country are about three days, meaning a dependence on "just in time" distribution systems, which will leave store shelves empty in the event of even the smallest crisis.

Are You Ready To Take Control Of Your Own Food Supply?

Could you and your family get off the grid and survive in a panic? Do you have enough seeds to plant a survival garden and feed your family? Do you have the right kind of seeds to plant? If you're answering no to these questions, you need to stop wherever you are and ask yourself... "What would I do if the grocery stores closed?" The answer sadly is that you'd probably go hungry.

Here's What You Should Do Right Now...

First, you need to have the peace of mind knowing that if things were to get scary, that you and your family could still eat. Listen: having enough non-hybrid seeds to plant an acre or two could be the difference between life and death. With our new "Survival Seed Bank™," growing your own survival food becomes easy. Remember, our hand-picked seeds are not genetically modified in any way. You simply save some of your harvest seeds from year one and have more than enough to plant in year two. You'll never need to buy seeds again! You just can't do that with man-made hybrid seeds.

It's been very difficult to acquire high quality, open pollinated seeds lately. We've had a lot of our Food Storage Secrets' customers asking for a good source and we finally have seeds we feel comfortable offering folks whose lives may depend on exceptional germination rates.

What will your family eat when grocery store shelves are empty?

These seeds are authentic strains which are NOT genetically modified in any way. When the going gets tough... you'll only want this special type of seed which will produce not only outstanding nutritional plants but will allow you to plant the seeds from the plants you grow unlike sterile hybrids. Most seed companies are now selling only "terminator" seeds which have been genetically modified and will not reproduce themselves.

These are NOT ordinary seeds... they have been chosen for their truly extraordinary germination rates!

Grown in remote plots, far from the prying eyes of the big hybrid seed companies, each of the Survival Seed Bank™ varieties have been hand-picked for germination rate, nutritional density and of course, storage life. These seeds are true heirlooms and produce extremely nutritious plants. In fact, some studies show that these varieties are up to five times as nutritious as hybrid varieties. We have also selected seeds that will produce some of the best tasting garden produce available.

Each seed pack is individually packaged for maximum shelf life. Here's what we mean by that: We carefully dry each seed to the precise level of allowable moisture which "locks in" hardiness and maintains extremely long shelf life. Then, each seed package is sealed in a special foil packet with a very expensive desiccant designed to keep seeds fresh for 20 years at 70 degrees. However, if you freeze your "seed bank" you could increase the shelf life by five times or more beyond that.

(By the way, never buy seeds in plastic or paper containers. The seeds just won't last.)

The seed packs are then packed and placed in a special waterproof (practically indestructible) container we call a Seed Bank. We believe that this type of storage container is the absolute best way to store seeds for the long term. Yep, it costs a little more, but if you do have to store seeds for the long haul, it's pretty darn important that they will not only have high germination rates, but grow into lush, productive crops when you need them most.

The Survival Seed Bank™ produces thousands of pounds of nutrient-dense food for pennies a pound.

Each Survival Seed Bank™ has a total of 22 varieties of OPEN POLLINATED "super seeds." Also included are detailed growing instructions for each variety which includes helpful information on harvesting of seed stock for the following year in a survival situation. This is obviously very important because failing to collect seeds properly at harvest time could mean starvation.

*Important: We are in a very real "non-hybrid" seed shortage. This means we may have to substitute varieties if supplies become exhausted. All Seedbanks will contain the same amount of ONLY Heirloom seeds, enough to plant a full acre Crisis Garden!

Total Seeds – Enough To Plant One Full Acre! Without A Long Term Food Solution Many Americans Could Starve.

Remember, non-hybrid seeds can be grown practically anywhere and have the ability to assimilate mineral and trace elements from the soil that man made plants just don't seem to have. That's because they were created by God as we read in Genesis:

And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth."

So here's the deal: I'm trying to get the word out before the food crisis becomes too apparent to the general public and there is a run on these seed banks. I've decided to sell the Survival Seed Bank™ at a discounted price to our customers who use this website to order.
As FED induced inflation sends shock waves through agricultural commodity prices, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see this same Survival Seed Bank selling for $1000.00 or more in just a few short years. Please understand, once the average guy on the street realizes food prices are headed for the moon, it may in fact be too late. Too late in the game to not only buy seeds wholesale, but it may be too late to even get seeds! Period. You see, the worldwide inventory of premium-grade vegetable seed isn't large enough to supply a panicked population, supplies will simply run out.
But right now, for Solutions From Science customers, as long as you buy online from this site, I will send you the entire one-acre Crisis Garden for just...

$149.00
(For as long as we can keep them in stock!)

That's less than half of what everyone less would have to pay if they bought "germination-tested" heirloom seeds like this at full retail. So I'm making this "extra" discounted offer because our current customers deserve "first dibs" on something this important.

So... all in all... you're saving $149.00 off the full price... and you get a waterproof seed bank at no additional cost. That's right. You can actually bury this unit for up to 20 years if you like and still have your seeds when you need them most. Most seed companies send you seeds in paper envelopes and cardboard boxes. But the difference is that the seed bank you get from us is practically indestructible.

That's a heck of a deal right there.

But there's more: I am also going to give you a bottle of "Nitro Seed Starter Solution" as a gift from us here at Solutions From Science. What this amazing product does is allow you to jump start your crop by simply soaking your seeds in this solution for a few seconds before you plant. When the Nitro soaked seeds hit the ground... it's over. The seeds grow like crazy!

And there's one more thing: You'll also receive detailed instructions on how to harvest seeds for the following year.

In fact, we've included a special 81-page manual called *Survival Gardening With Heirlooms*. It's designed to help anyone (beginner or expert), cultivate a highly productive crisis garden. Written by a survivalist and a master gardener, it describes in detail, each step of the way, taking you by the hand from planting your seeds to cultivating to gathering and storing your seeds for the next growing season. The 81-page    E-book manual cost you nothing, and is our gift to you for being wise enough to see the coming storm.

For the absolute fastest service, order online. You can also call 877-327-0365 to place your order. Our remaining inventory of Survival Seed Banks is going to vanish quickly I can assure you. (And when my partners discover what I've done, they're going to make sure we never do it again!) But time is of the essence. There are only a handful of Survival Seed Banks available right now. As more and more customers snatch them up... (We've only got enough bulk seeds to make up a handful of seed banks), you may never again get another chance to own one at this price.

P.S. One last thought — I want to make SURE you understand how much you're getting here. If you purchased these same seeds "retail" you could very well pay over $600, if you can even find them. That makes the Survival Seed Bank™ package a ridiculous bargain. For just $149.00 plus 15.00 shipping and handling (total $164.00), you get enough seeds to plant a full acre survival garden! And... you'll have confidence knowing that you and your family will be able to eat if the Insiders trigger some huge meltdown. You'll have the best germinating seeds available. (Remember, we buy our seeds directly from small independent farmers.) Don't wait another second— call or order online right now, while you're thinking about it.

P.P.S. Remember... when these Survival Seed Banks are gone (with the current seed shortage) we can't guarantee enough heirloom seeds will be available to meet the current high demand.
