RE: [BrixTalk] Grass is always greener...

Hi all,



Don't be deceived! What this "guy" in Alaska (Evans) will deny is that he
makes tons of compost to put on his garden soils each year and brings in a
lot of rock dust powders from nearby moraines. I have pictures of his
rather large compost bins that he sent to us. I also have pictures of his
large fields of comfrey he grew that he turned into compost.



He also uses seeds from plants that grow quite large many latitudes to the
south. I've used some of his "giant zucchini" plant seeds here in Spokane
and gotten plants a minimum of 6 feet in height. just as big as his are up
there in Alaska. Everything he grows is with seeds selected from plants
that are large which are grown elsewhere in the world at much lower
latitudes. I've had several conversations with him to that effect.



Dr Reams taught that the magnetic field was stronger as we go north and that
was the reason for plants growing large in Alaska. Don't forget that there
is more than just an "edge" when using seeds from really large plants grown
at latitudes thousands of miles south of Alaska.



Best Regards,

Thomas Giannou

I remember wild dandelions near Ketchikan that were as big as large
chrysanthemums. That high Brix garden is partly the additives, but the soil
to start with is full of minerals.
