It's about going back to what's natural--growing a garden, eating healthy, using less chemicals, reducing the crap we buy and throw away. Making a change for the better, and doing it slowly so it might actually last.

<br />
At the suggestion of my Pediatric Nurse Practitioner--we used UNFILTERED White Vinegar (you can get it at Sprouts in AZ).<br />
<br />

<br />
Here are the videos that tell you how to do it--and proof that it works.<br />

And how the government is subsidizing corn and soy out the wazoo. And how it is not good for our country. Some farming is ruining soil and damaging surrounding lands. I believe there are two sides to every story, this is one side. But the more I learn, the more I realize that the government could be doing so many other things to ensure Americas farmlands stay healthy and able to feed it's own citizens. This is worth the watch.

Use Olive oil to polish your furniture. I hate that spray stuff from the store--it stinks up my house and as I spray it I just imagine it coating my lungs like it's coating the wood.<br /><br />Yuck.<br /><br />So just mix 2 parts olive oil with 1 part lemon juice. Spray, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe with a soft cloth.<br /><br />I'm off to try it.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18336177622651513876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948457943494692313.post-6617214480851526452011-03-15T15:30:00.000-07:002011-03-15T15:32:18.917-07:00Garden IdeasDo you have just a small place to garden?

School next door now claims to smell nothing.<br /> * Denmark – Lake had clarity of 8 cm from surface and after treated with EM went to one meter<br /> * Pakistan – Brackish water now able to grow rice in Pakistan, 30% of land irrigates with salt water.<br /> * Chickens fed a diet of 50% EM treated dung had increased egg production.<br /> * Indigenous bananas which are normally ½ finger long are now several fingers long<br /> * In Japan oranges clustered on trees like grapes.<br /> * North Korea. – EM fertilizer increased corn production two times.<br /> * North Korea - 9-10 kilogram cabbage heads were unheard of before EM.<br /> * 1 hectare of land now produces 9 tons of rice – twice it’s normal harvest.<br /> * Fifteen hectares can now support 20 times its normal land use because the entire land can be used rather than needing to allow land to rest, and because the yields have increased.<br /> * CHINA - 3 meters of snow pack does not stay on EM field which produces enough heat to keep round from freezing.<br /> * North Korea can now grow wheat in winter because EM increased soil heat by 10 degrees Celsius<br /> * One application of EM in pond water will remediate 50% of the dioxin<br /> * Cotton grown in Arizona grew balls that were 50% normal size.<br /> * Received medal of accomplishment from ministry of agriculture by Japanese government for reducing compost density by half and increasing harvest by 50%.<br /> * Growth regulators are used in plants to encourage bottom buds to open. The use of EM caused bottom buds to open on even very tall plants<br /><br />Eric Lancaster-<br /><br />Reveals the Secrets of amazing Gardening in Arizona<br /><br /><br />Eric will share “double your harvest” technique which has received many heartfelt thanks and testimonials from gardeners who have doubled or tripled their annual yield.<br /><br /><br />Eric is going to share tried and tested growing techniques with EM.<br /><br />if you do just these things, you will be miles ahead of other gardeners, and have one of your most amazing harvests to date. Most people don’t know these things, and do the OPPOSITE, making 3 big mistakes, getting poor, cracked fruit, dead and sick plants, or just not the yield they could have had.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Thursday Morning<br /><br />10:00 - 12:00<br /><br />4220 E McDowell Rd #103<br /><br />Mesa, AZ 85215Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18336177622651513876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948457943494692313.post-82759076741604990202010-10-27T12:08:00.000-07:002010-10-27T12:17:24.732-07:00Tader Joe is Non-GMO<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-1CmOU6dbuZ0php8q3YmrVT3T_CUSoWmc8KtMKMhch6EHy6oeHc0HfVhVPmrFlNLWey-BKQA9Xx1hVrrnh3P9VPUoIzhnc7O4FnepdeHpjox2tg6yDMXpt7XSFDlupJ72jVWA2sVgZpn4/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-10-27+at+12.05.06+PM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-1CmOU6dbuZ0php8q3YmrVT3T_CUSoWmc8KtMKMhch6EHy6oeHc0HfVhVPmrFlNLWey-BKQA9Xx1hVrrnh3P9VPUoIzhnc7O4FnepdeHpjox2tg6yDMXpt7XSFDlupJ72jVWA2sVgZpn4/s320/Screen+shot+2010-10-27+at+12.05.06+PM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532805078653825298" /></a><br /><br /><br />I made my title rhyme.<br /><br />Anyhow, while I was enjoying my weekly stroll through my beloved Trader Joes I saw a marker board that read "All <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/about/customer-updates.asp#4">Trader Joes</a> labeled products are from Non-GMO.<br /><br />Woo hoo!<br /><br />Ever since I watched Food Inc. I've been on the look out for Non-GMO food. It's hard to find because it doesn't have to be labeled.<br /><br />I want to later do a post (or someone else can volunteer??) on Genetically Modified Organisms. You can get the basics <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMO">HERE</a>.<br /><br />Basically the seeds are genetically modified. That's not natural. Often they are genetically modified for the purpose of compatibility with pesticides.<br /><br />Ew.<br /><br />So as for ME I'm going to do my best to eat NATURALLY. <br /><br />And apparently I'm going to be shopping more at Trader Joes.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18336177622651513876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948457943494692313.post-39619365283292926562010-10-21T10:40:00.001-07:002010-10-21T14:18:49.153-07:00Grab a button!A big fat THANK YOU to my ridiculously talented friend Molly who designed these these buttons.<br /><br />She made the buttons and I actually figured out how to make them work <a href="http://oikology101.blogspot.com/2008/09/make-your-own-button-for-your-blogger.html">HERE</a>.
