Gardening
« on: March 06, 2012, 12:20:42 PM »
I just thought that you people up North would like to know that i have had a garden all winter (cool weather veggies) I have two eight by eight grow boxes in the back yard. I just planted tomatoes the other day. ( I have had little success with them so far). So far this winter I have harvested three kinds of lettuce two crops, Collards, Broccoli and onions. In a month so there will be cabbage. Anyway I do that instead of playing golf!

Sounds wonderful?  How do they taste in comparison to store bought?  I have very little place for a garden, but would like to try one...however, the deer around here would decimate it unless we put a tall fence around it.

I wouldn't want to accuse you of rubbing it in,Pastor, but at this time of year, with a foot of snow on my garden (better than some years at this time), one can't help but wonder.

However, I am glad to hear that you've spent your winter in a profitable way, rather than playing golf.  :wink:

I also have snow on the ground and for the first time this year I have needed chains to get to town this week.
There was a short series on ADTV by Dr. Ray Obomsawin who is a physician but now apparently does consultation and education regarding health issues. One of his lectures concerned farming. He recommends treating the soil of our gardens with rock. He does not advocate using chemicals or manure. He cited reports of very dramatic results from adding some form of rock to the soil. That is the best source of the large number of minerals that have disappeared from the soil because of modern farming and gardening methods. Amost all of the foods we eat are deficient in the many minerals that we need for good health and it is simple to correct this with the use of rock. (There is SOP support for this concept)  There is a lot of information on this on the internet. Google "remineralize." I'm going to try it this year.

Dr. Obamsawain is a Canadian and part Onieda and Athabaskan and lectures about traditional native  healing methods such as plants etc. Very interesting!

Anyone who wants rock can come to my place.  We have an over-abundance.  Sometimes it seems as if the rocks are breeding underground, and each spring they emerge to get in the way of my rototiller.  :wink:  But something tells me that's not the kind of rock we're talking about here.  :-D

I think powdered rock would be the way to go, but minerals are probably leached out of rocks in rocky soil.

Rocks have been around longer than ConAgra & 12-12-12, looking into this sounds intresting.  Here's to becoming a secondhand rockbiter all in the neverending story of gardening.  :roll:

Comparing types of rock to get Mittlighter style minerals might be worthwhile.

Grateful for Psalms 32 and Titus 2:10 While it is true that God gives the message from Scripture and SOP. The taste I give to others about the message sells it or kills it, I learn to walk it well & cook it well & eat it myself, before I preach it.  Then the SDA message appeals by His righteousness.

Mittleiter was excellent. I know he fed the soil minerals, with good effect, but I suspect that rock dust from the right sources (perhaps granite) would provide a natural balance of minerals rather than trying to add specific ones.

sand for silica, granite, limestone, dolemite, clay, Magnesium Sulfate ( epsom Salts ), coal clinkers beat into course powder, wood ashes, rusty water,  all these are good mineral and trace metals and elements for the garden.

I hadn't thought of rusty water, Ed. What a good idea!

If you have a deck, put some barrels out there with pepper plants and tomato...  inside herbs do well.

Maybe Adam & Eve needed that robe of light to tend the garden as well ?   An interesting documentary on plants that's outside the usual concepts about plants, at the research and university level.

   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8hInOEfmgQ   

Quote
The whole natural world is designed to be an interpreter of the things of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home, nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. To their attentive ears it was vocal with the voice of wisdom. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart, for they communed with God in His created works.  {CG 45.3} 

     The book of nature, which spread its living lessons before them, afforded an exhaustless source of instruction and delight. On every leaf of the forest and stone of the mountains, in every shining star, in earth and sea and sky, God's name was written. With both the animate and the inanimate creation--with leaf and flower and tree, and with every living creature, from the leviathan of the waters to the mote in the sunbeam--the dwellers in Eden held converse, gathering from each the secrets of its life. God's glory in the heavens, the innumerable worlds in their orderly revolutions, "the balancings of the clouds" (Job 37:16), the mysteries of light and sound, of day and night--all were objects of study by the pupils of earth's first school.  {CG 45.4}   {Ed 21.3}  {BLJ 254.3}   

As it came from the Creator's hand, not only the Garden of Eden but the whole earth was exceedingly beautiful. No taint of sin, or shadow of death, marred the fair creation. God's glory "covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise." "The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." Habakkuk 3:3; Job 38:7. Thus was the earth a fit emblem of Him who is "abundant in goodness and truth" (Exodus 34:6); a fit study for those who were made in His image. The Garden of Eden was a representation of what God desired the whole earth to become, and it was His purpose that, as the human family increased in numbers, they should establish other homes and schools like the one He had given. Thus in course of time the whole earth might be occupied with homes and schools where the words and the works of God should be studied, and where the students should thus be fitted more and more fully to reflect, throughout endless ages, the light of the knowledge of His glory.  {Ed 22.2}
