  • Amaranth. A hard lesson learned.

    Today was bitter sweet. I don't normally post but I feel that I should to prevent others from making this same horrible mistake that I have made.
    I do permaculture designs and implementation. Part of that involves gardening. I made 6 gardens at this one location so far, a raised bed garden, a pond garden, a pond edge garden, a vine garden, an herb garden, and a garden around a fruit tree. In all of these I kept seeing a particular plant pop up. It compleatly filled my raised bed garden to the point where my other plants weren't getting enough sunlight. I duitifully pulled these "weeds" and let them rot out where they had grown. I don't throw weeds away, if they are going to seed i'll throw the seeds out but i don't throw the body of the weed away as it's useful in feeding the soil while creating ground cover to lock in moisture and a few other reasons. So after a while of this I finally took some pictures(today) and sent them off to 4 or my  plant nerd friends for an identification. Intuitivly in the back of my mind I had been thinking Amaranth but I had never seen the plant myself or even heard much of a discription if any of it. Turns out my hunch was correct. This made me rather sad. I was destroying Amaranth. I'm glad I didn't kill it all.

    For those of you who don't know, if you have bad soil you WANT amaranth and clover. These do wonders in making your soil better.

    If you don't have bad soil, YOU WANT AMARANTH.

    This plant was a staple of pre-Columbian Aztecs. It's leafs are much like spinach and are great cooked or raw.
    the seeds are a wonderful grain, high in protein (about 16 percent) . Also it has lysine and methionine, two essential amino acids that you don't find in a lot of grains. High in fiber, a few times higher than wheat.  Also contians: calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins A, C and E.

    To think that I was killing this wonderful plant. I'd be willing to trade out my other crops to keep this one around. I think at this point though they will both live in harmony.

    I plan to havest the seeds and plant them everywhere.  (see my roots revolution post.)

    Moral of the story, before you destroy what you think is a weed, find out what it is. There is a good chance you might be throwing away something very valuable.

    This is also true in many other areas of life. So before you dismiss people as kooks, loosers, scum, or whatever, find out who they really are.
    Before you pass up an opertunity, find out what it really is.
    before you vote, find out who your voting for really is.
    Knowing will make the world a better place.

    Shalom.

  • Roots revolution.

    I'm back once again in light of troubling times to help you all by planting an idea, a seed in your mind.
    We hear much talk of Grass Roots Revolution. I say we start a real roots revolution. 

    Plant seeds everywhere.

    This is NOT an original idea but it is a good one. Plant wild edibles everywhere, herbs, fruit tree's, even the normal garden produces. As long as it's local to your area and will likely grow well. There is no reason our parks should only have oaks. Why not fruit tree's? I say we plant up our towns, EVERYWHERE. Empty lots, parks, woods, the side of the road, and so on. Get creative. Sure a lot of plants won't make it but a lot will. It's a numbers game. So plant a seed every time you take a walk. plant a lot of seeds. Everywhere. Lets start a revolution. When the money goes bad people will have something to eat. When people are homeless there will be more healthy food available for them. When people are struggling to make ends meet, they can go harvest. This will help everyone.

    Other benefits: Reducing pollution caused by packaging plants, and transportation of food. Reduces the amount of tax money from fuels and such that goes to our irresponsible banker leaders. I'd say Government leaders but the big banks and groups like bilderberg really run things.  They print their own money anyways so this might not matter too much. Planting seeds also helps reduce irresponsible farming practices and helps put Monsanto types out.
    Planting food just makes since. It's insurance. It's security. It's for the good of all.
    Eating healthy home grown food reduces our dependence on the sick care industry and government authorized drug dealers (aka doctors). Lower health care cost means lower health insurance cost. That in turn means YOU keep MORE of your paycheck.
    I could go on and on. If your with me, tell a friend. Start collecting seeds. Start planting seeds. Message me or comment letting me know your in on this revolution. Lets change the world together.

    some seed planting tips.
    Plant in areas that the type of plant your planting grows already.
    Plant near the "edge". Edge of anything, a path, a road, a river, a clearing.
    Don't plant where they mow every week, that is just throwing away good seed and time.
    Plant things that go together, fruit tree's near legume tree's or vines. (plant beans or peas with a fruit tree.)
    Plant clean up plants such as cat tail in ditches next to parking lots.
    Plant in your own yard.
    Plant herbs instead of flower beds and lettuce among your flowers. Plant flowering plants that are useful.

    in FL see  http://www.eattheweeds.com/www.EatTheWeeds.Com/EatTheWeeds.com/EatTheWeeds.com.html
    for more info on wild edibles. 

    I planted over 100 seeds this week and have a small group of people who are doing the same.
    Lets plant our way to a better life with less pollution, less hunger, and more community. 


    PLEASE STEAL THIS POST IDEA. PLEASE COPY AND PAST IT INTO YOUR BLOG. FEEL FREE TO ACT LIKE YOU WROTE IT YOURSELF. FEEL FREE TO REWRITE IT. SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE. TELL A FRIEND. THIS IS NOT A NEW CONCEPT. THIS IS NOT JUST MY IDEA.

  • Buy food and gold. Goodbye.

    I recommend buying enough food to last you and your family at least a month. A year would be even better. Just something to have on hand in case things get bad. You can start eating on it now and just buy more as you go to replenish your supply or just tuck it away in a dry cool place and make sure rats an such can't get to it.

    Here: You can buy a device that sucks the water out of the air and makes it drinkable.http://www.ecoloblue.com/
    and here is a place you can buy food supplies that will last you a while. http://www.efoodsdirect.com/products.html

    Investments to make this year. Try gold, silver, and things like land. DO NOT GO INTO DEBT. I also highly recommend investing OUT of the country.

    I do believe it's going to be a rough year.

    ________________________________

    It's been a good run here on xanga. I am thinking about ending it though. It's been fun and I wish you all the best. Study, learn, change, grow. Turn off your tv's, it's mind control. The government is not your friend, they lie to you all the time. Why even some of you still believe them is beyond me. All I can say is they programed you well.
    Plant a garden. Plant wild edibles in your yard if you have one. Buy a gun if you wish but I personally prefer nonviolence. Guns could come in handy for hunting. Check out what Ron Paul has to say on things. Watch loose change final cut. Talk to your neighbors, friends, and family. Talk to them about things other than TV (including mainstream news), Movies, and Sports. Good luck with that. Study brainwashing. Study mind control.
    Remember the past. Check out Torahclass.com

    Throughout history the prophets and the revolutionaries have always been look upon with hate. People abuse them, kill them, get angry with them, and refuse to listen to them. They are kooks and weirdo's in the eyes of many. It's easy to be a part of the crowed, you fit. It is a hard thing to stand alone for what you truly believe in. Evil rules when good men do nothing.
    Well I have deleted most of my posts and the text in the few I left up. I'll likely leave this up for the sake of anyone who happens to find it.
    It's been fun, Shalom.

  • Mom, Dad, PLEASE DO NOT VACCINATE YOUR CHILD!

    I have been around some babies lately and just by looking at them I can make an educated guess about which ones were vaccinated and which were not. How can I tell? The ones who have been vaccinated often look sickly, it may not be apparent to many because people have grown accustom to seeing unhealthy people. This is NOT normal. This is a tragedy. These babies also don't have the same energy as babies who have not been vaccinated. I wish I could put into words what I see when I look at these babies. It really ticks me off. THERE IS NO REASON TO VACCINATE YOUR CHILD BEFORE THE FIRST 4 YEARS. In fact it may be better not to vaccinate them at all. If you must at least wait till they are 4 and then give one shot a year or something like that. Research each and every shot, where it came from, the lot number, and 3rd party studies.
    This is a SICK TWISTED way that they are using to destroy the youth. If your doctor, friend, neighbor, priest, mother, newscaster, Hitler or anyone else says you need to vaccinate your kid then they have either bought into the propaganda or they are the creators of it. IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILD PLEASE DO NOT VACCINATE!
    If you do vaccinate, your kids chances of getting autism and other learning disabilities skyrockets. Please if you want to be a good parent, RESEARCH IT. Look into it. If you have already vaccinated your kid I'm sorry, I'm not sure if there is anything you can do to reverse the effects.
    Before you give your child anything please research it, find out what the skeptics say, look at other babies who have received that same thing and look at the ones who haven't. It's common sense folks.

    Have you noticed that the kids these days are slower? Have you noticed that the glow is missing? Have you noticed the HUGE HUGE increase in diseases and illnesses? Have you noticed the HUGE increase in learning disabilities? Have you noticed how the cancer rates have shot through the roof? Have you noticed? There is a reason for all that. Don't let your child become a statistic. It makes me sick to see these kids have their quality of life greatly diminished due to a parents ignorance or desire to fit in. Your child deserves better than this!

    If you want to vaccinate so you can put them in the public indoctrination system aka the public school system you should know that there are ways around that. You can get a religious waver and the schools have to accept it... at least for now. If your not religious make up a religion for the waver.

    This time I'm not going to do your research for you. Look it up for yourself. Get a 2nd opinion. Look at 3rd party research. Look at the other side. Connect the dots. It's simple folks.

    God help the next generation.
