In India the kernels of the Neem Tree are collected and cold pressed to extract the Neem oil which is used to control insect pests in agriculture and our home gardens.
The Neem Oil is not a poison so unlike chemical insecticides it does not poison the pests, the environment or the user.
Instead it acts as a deterrent and has the ability to prevent insect pests from feeding making it an anti-feedent and when a small amount is consumed by pest insects feeding on the plants sprayed with the oil they stop eating and starve to death..
Recently EPA came across an overseas study that suggested that the active ingredient in Neem Oil could be harmful to aquatic life.
Apparently there are other studies that show it is not but EPA has taken the precaution of having all brands of Neem Oil to be re-registered and while the applications are being scrutinised the Neem Oil brands cannot be marketed in NZ.
That is the reason the Wallys Super Neem Tree oil is currently removed from sale while our application is being approved.
Neem Granules and powder which in India are called Neem Cake does not have that problem and is used as a soil conditioner, fertiliser and pest deterrent.
The only difference between Wallys Neem Tree Granules and Wallys Neem Tree Powder is the particle sizes.
The powder is uniform size particles about 1-3mm where the granules is a mix of powder up to lumps about 30mm in size but mostly about 10-15mm.
The powder is ideal for using in the planting hole for seedlings, on the lawn and on smaller containers.
To deter carrot fly you sprinkle the power with the seeds when sowing and later when the tops are up about 4 to 5 cm you side dress the row with Wallys Neem Tree Powder.
It is fast acting, breaking down and needs to be reapplied about every 2-3 months.
The larger particles of Wallys Neem Tree Granules are slower to break down giving a much longer protection period of about 3 to 5 months.
This makes them ideal for placing in the root zone of larger plants, roses, shrubs and trees.
I have been pleased with the effects that have happened when used on the soil surface in the root zone of citrus trees.
An application sprinkled from the trunk to the drip line cleans the tree of all insect pests within a few weeks of application.
I had a Lime growing in a container that was attacked by scale insects with a lot of ants over the plant collecting the honeydew the scale was peeing out.
A handful of Wallys Neem Tree Granules onto the growing medium and within a month no ants and no scale.
A couple of months ago a lady gardener from India living now in NZ told me how she has beautiful roses free of pests and most diseases and looking very healthy.
The secret she told me was to put about a handful of Neem Granules into a bucket of water.
Stir occasionally and then take the water and pour over your roses.
A natural food and deterrent bit like the article I wrote a few weeks back about mixing Apple Cider Vinegar with water and spraying over fruit trees.
If you are going to try the Neem Granules into a bucket of water I would also suggest you make it even better by adding a little Magic Botanic Liquid (MBL).
It has taken us 6 months to get a container load of Wallys Neem Powder/Granules from India to New Zealand because of all the upsets in the supply chains and lock downs.
Normally it would have only taken 6 to 8 weeks.
I asked my India supplier because the delays are so long now to arrange a second container.
I asked for that 3 months ago and they are still trying to find a shipping line to bring it to NZ.
Why is this the case?
Which apparently applies to both New Zealand and Australia, as our Governments make them stand off shore for long periods of time before they can dock into our ports.
While waiting to dock they use up fuel and have to pay their sailors wages for doing nothing.
A few gardeners have told me that using Neem Powder or Granules in their vegetable gardens has deterred cats from fouling the gardens.
Apparently the cats do not like the smell of the Neem.
This may work for some cats and be a deterrent but I have not had sufficient feed back to say it is greatly successful on most cats.
If you find by using it in gardens that cats stop fouling please let me know.
The product Wallys Cat Repellent which is naphthalene flakes works on about 95% of cats.
We are trying to bring a shipment from India but so far not having any success so out of stock.
None of the shipping lines want to handle it so trying to air freight it here if they can find a plane to bring it to NZ.
My advice to all you readers currently is to plant up food crops into any available ground and stock up on essentials as a world wide famine has started and things are not looking good.
Have an ample stock of vegetable seed varieties that you like to grow and store the packets opened or unopened in a glass jar sealed with a lid in your fridge.
Also seeds for growing sprouts which can be grown all year round for good nutrition as not subjected to day light hours like our vegetable crops for growth.
Have on hand a supply of MBL and Ocean Solids which a small amount of both can be added to the water that you use to do your sprouts to increase their mineral content.
There is an old saying ‘Prepare for the Worst and Hope for the Best.’

For those of you who don’t know, VAERS can be downloaded for analysis from here, and the SYMPTOM file contains up to 15 different reported adverse events (AEs) per VAERS_ID. Typically, 5 symptoms (or AEs) are reported per VAERS_ID.
Below is a Table that show the top 80 AE entries in each respective SYMPTOM column. I don’t know why I chose 80. No reason. I highlighted some alarming AEs in red. Also, no specific reason for picking them.
Note his logic: “We didn’t know then that COVID’s really just a flu; so it was pretty scary that the world, including the United States, didn’t go on alert nearly as fast as it needed to.”
And yet, funnily enough, Dr. Fauci, of all people, did know that COVID is ‘kind of like flu,” as he noted in February, 2020. So Gates’s “experts” weren’t in touch with Dr. Fauci?
I am often asked about how to control populations of slugs and earwigs in gardens without using the usual chemicals.
This is particularly important in food growing gardens as we do not want to have poisons in the food we are eating.
You may not realise it but both earwigs and slugs do provide benefit to your gardens as they prefer decomposing plant material to living plants
so if you are clean and tidy and there are no rotting plants available then they will do damage to your growing plants.
When you are weeding if you leave some weeds on the soil to break down naturally then the two pests will become assets.
Sprinkling lawn mowing clippings onto gardens is another way of using what many consider a waste product to benefit.
One precaution with that is if the lawn grasses are seeding as you would then be putting a lot of new grass weeds into your gardens to germinate later.
If the slugs and earwigs (You can include with them slaters or as some call them wood lice) are a real problem then you could try the following.
I learnt about this method a long time ago and have often suggested to gardeners to use it.
What you need is some strips of 3plywood or similar about 250-300mm long and about 150mm wide.
These are laid down on the soil in areas where you are having problems with the pests.
Now you take a trigger sprayer and mix two parts bleach to one part water.
During the day you fold back the slats of ply onto their far edge and see what is hiding under them.
If you have some of the pests you wish to control simply give them a spray of your bleach and lay the ply back down on top of them.
Repeat the same process regularly until you have the pest population under control.
Slugs and snails cannot tolerate copper as it makes them dehydrate and die.
If either pest comes into contact with copper they will not pass over the barrier it creates.
So this can be used to protect seedlings from being their evening meal.
I suggest placing untreated sawdust around the seedlings you wish to protect then spraying the sawdust and seedlings with Wallys Liquid Copper and Raingard added.
Much safer than using toxic poisons to kill them and better for the safety of your pets and wild life.
There is another slug like pest which is commonly called the Cherry Slug or Pear Slug as it feeds on these trees during the summer period when they are active.
They start about November to December in most areas and can be seen as a small black slimy slug on the foliage which they are eating.
If you do not treat this first generation then in January to February there will be a second large wave of them and damage will correspondingly increase.
The best solution is to spray the foliage with Wallys Liquid Copper with Raingard added as they can not handle copper either.
Another one that can be used for snails and slugs is the mineral iron.
There is a slug and snail bait on the market that uses chelate iron as the killing component which means it fairly save for pets and wild life.
You can make a slug and snail bait yourself by soaking bran in a solution of sulphate of iron and water or if you have available use chelate iron.
Add to this yeast which is what attracts the pests and they will eat the bran which now contains iron and die as a result.
There is one pest that you will never gain complete control of if they are in your area and that is ants.
Many of the ant baits on the market are only effective for a little while as the ants become bait shy to them realising that the bait is what is killing them.
Many years ago I found a very old formula that ants never seem to wake up to the fact it is killing them.
We call it Granny Mins Ant Bait and the container has a combination of Borax and Boric Acid with the recipe on how to make it up.
The product is very inexpensive selling for about $7.00 and you just dissolve the jars contents in hot water and add the required amount of sugar and honey. It makes just about a litre of bait.
Stir well and place the mixture in small jar lids wherever you see ants.
Top up the lids as they empty till there is no more ant activity.
The bait should only be used outdoors and if you have any concern for pets then put a small amount of liquid ant bait into small jars and lay then on their sides on the ground.
The small amount of ant bait used is not likely to be harmful to pets but better safe than sorry.
If ants are inside your home then the easy most effective way is to set up one or more of those insect cans that release pyrethrum spray every few minutes.
As long as that can is operating and even for a few weeks after it has emptied no ants will come into that area.
They detect that there is pyrethrum around and know it is not good for them.
Cockroaches inside your kitchen are a curse for some people and the easy way to control them safely is to sprinkle Borax powder behind the fridge and stove.
Only use in safe places such as these two areas so it is well away from food stuffs and pets.
The cockroaches walk though the borax powder and being very clean insects they clean them elves of the powder which kills them.

BlackRock and Vanguard are taking over centralized food production technologies and will have near-total control over the future food supply in America
Growing my own fresh fruits and vegetables is one of my favorite pastimes. I love to harvest the sweet bounty of my labors. Sometimes growing your own food is a requirement for survival and not just a pleasant hobby.
Can I grow food inside of my home? Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, herbs, lettuce, and greens can all be grown inside of your home with a little bit of knowledge, the right supplies, and some tender loving care.
My adventure in growing food indoors began this year when the pandemic hit, and I realized that I needed to up my game when it came to growing our own food. I am not new to the home production scene, but suddenly I was driven to make it more than a hobby.
“The Food Bill” resurfaces again (also here) … some things are introduced ‘gradually’ a hallmark of Fabian Socialism… gradualism. So the Bill looked fairly benign to the folk who 100% trust & don’t bother to look deeper. However you need to examine it within the context of our diminishing rights and freedoms that began around the end of last century with those several notorious plane crashes into buildings. More links to info (historically) in this article … https://envirowatchrangitikei.wordpress.com/food-bill-nz/
Important to know about Codex Alimentarius. Codex Alimentarius is United Nations (UN), WHO (World Health Organization) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) way of making sure the industry get more protected and that you the consumer get food with more toxins and less nutrients. It has everything to do with international trade and nothing to do with food safety.
– Codex Alimentarius is not about consumer protection. – Codex is designed to protect the industry (read: Pharmaceutical, Chemotherapy, Biotech, Agrobusiness, etc.) by eliminating natural health products and treatments, and by allowing insanely high residuelevels of toxins. – Codex is unscientific because it classifies nutrients as toxins.
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” This famous quote by Henry Kissinger is ringing more and more true by the week. The globalists already control the majority of the money, are moving ever so swiftly to convert the energy system over into systems they are all invested in, and have been taking drastic measures to control the food industry while running much of it under the radar. If they control the seeds they control the food, and if they control the food they can use the digital ID to control consumer access to the food. While a rash of fires suddenly destroy food processing, meat, and fertilizer plants, during a time where farmers are hurting and supply chain issues are kicking in, an entire traceable food infrastructure system has already been built in multiple cities and is making its way across the globe.
Imagine a day where farmers markets no longer exist, you can’t drive over to your local farmer to buy produce or cuts of meat, and the only food growing outside of the globalists secured indoor vertical farming and lab grown meat facilities, is in your windowsill, garden, or greenhouse.
• The indoor vertical farming industry was valued at $5.5 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $19.86 billion by 2026. Urban indoor farming controlled by the globalists is the future of food they have reimagined, and it’s already in thousands of grocery stores without people realizing it. Whereas the U.S. is leading in this industry, this is a global agenda with vertical farms popping up across the globe.
• For perspective, Bowery Farming’s new facility in Arlington, TX will be able to serve 16 million people in a 200-mile radius. This is only one of dozens of vertical farming companies with massive facilities across the country, backed by big investors.
• AeroFarms, who has the largest indoor vertical farming facility in the world, co-developed the first CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited produce product, now hundreds are following, while National Geographic believes that gene editing is the next food revolution. AeroFarms also worked on an NIH sponsored trial to produce proteins for the Covid jabs.
• The University of California is developing a plant-based mRNA vaccine in the hopes that farms can grow edible vaccine heads of lettuce.
• Monsanto/Bayer is creating gene edited seeds for vertical farm companies, while Bill Gates, the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, and the World Bank control 10% of the world’s germplasms and hold some of the world’s largest seed banks. Bayer and BASF, two of the world’s largest suppliers of seed, are both involved with the vertical farm industry.
• The USDA and FDA have already approved lab grown meat, genetically modified cattle, and are funding the globalists to research and develop cellular agriculture as well as indoor growers and genetics companies, while they slack on regulations for gene-edited produce.
• Well over a dozen major food processing and meat plants have coincidentally gone up in flames in the past several months.
• Union Pacific is mandating railroad shipping reductions by 20%, impacting CF Industries Holdings, the world’s largest fertilizer company. Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street happen to be the top shareholders of Union Pacific, and BlackRock and Vanguard are in the top 3 shareholders of CF Industries Holdings.
• By mapping some of the biggest vertical farms (below in this report), it reveals the crops, grocery stores involved, locations, and billions pouring in by globalist investors and shareholders. It quickly becomes evident that this is the global plan to control all produce – ingredients that go into all food products.
Thanks to seemorerocks.is for this important info. Here is why NZ’s food shortages. It’s not ‘the war’. The grower in the interview tells us that this has been brewing for 5 years! Your ‘kind’ govt requires from them a resource consent to grow, a consent to water and a consent to wash the veg. And predictably the supermarkets pay them insufficient to meet growers’ requirements. We’re ‘all in this together’ peeps, team of 5mill. I wonder what the esteemed polis are dining on these days? Meanwhile our power has just done a hike also by doing away with low user benefits. EWR

This is an interview on NZ television with an award-winning vegetable grower on the problems growers are facing, in terms of both cost and regulation in growing food and getting it to the market.
He says it is a problem that has been brewing for the last 5 years or so.
There were warnings back then that the changes made by government would bring the very food prices we are seeing.
He points out:
The cost of production has been increasing for growers to the extent that the price offered by the retailers (read the supermarkets) is BELOW THEIR COST OF PRODUCTION so it is no longer worthwhile sending produce to market.
He also points out that: in some regions of NZ it is ILLEGAL to plant new ground in vegetables;
the government requires a resource consent to grow vegetables, to irrigate and wash them; the grower, who has won environmental awards cannot get consent to plant new areas.
Finding any background on this or anything relating to the most important part of human existence in this country is like looking for a needle in the haystack.
Annual food prices rose 6.8 percent in February 2022 compared with February 2021, Stats NZ said today.
This was the largest annual increase since July 2011 when prices increased 7.9 percent.
In February 2022 compared with February 2021:
fruit and vegetable prices increased by 17 percent
grocery food prices increased by 5.4 percent
restaurant meals and ready-to-eat food prices increased by 5.2 percent
meat, poultry, and fish prices increased by 7.1 percent
non-alcoholic beverage prices increased by 2.3 percent.
“Fruit and vegetables were the largest contributor to the annual movement, mainly influenced by tomatoes, broccoli, and iceberg lettuce,” food prices lead analyst Angus Crowe said.
Zealand food prices rose the most in more than 10 years in 2021, adding to risks that the central bank will need to do more to contain inflation expectations.
All I could find on this was that people growing and selling food have to adhere to the NZ Food Act 1914
The Food Act 2014 takes a common-sense approach to food safety. If you make or sell food, your business may need to be registered. Find out more about the Food Act and what it means for you
According to theWHO’s website, on March 30, 2021, it announced an “urgent call for an International Pandemic Treaty,” stating that such a treaty is needed to orchestrate a single globalized response to pandemics. And, “25 heads of government and international leaders” have come together in a joint call to form the treaty.
Don’t forget that Yuval Noah Harari, the chief advisor to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, has stated that globalist elites will use “crises” to bring about world government.

Given the plethora of wannabe world rulers among the mega corporations, industrial and military powers, political ideologies, media and social media giants, big pharma, intergovernmental and judicial organisations currently competing for global influence, it is worth asking who actually rules the world? Who has the most power?
Undoubtedly the plant kingdom excels. Every individual in the world, in every nation, eats to live each day. Plants have enjoyed a coevolutionary symbiotic relationship with multicellular animal species for at least 500 million years. We have land and aquatic plants to thank for the oxygen we breathe.
Plants derive their timeless world sovereignty directly and continuously from the sun, the earth, and water. Ancient cultures have always revered and employed the life supporting properties of plants.
The ancient Rig Veda refers to them as ‘mothers of mankind’. Maori tradition as children of Tāne, the god of the forest, who separated earth and sky.
Our health and food security is inextricably tied up with that of the plant kingdom. We should make it a priority to protect the integrity of the plant world. We should seek to maintain an alliance with plants, not just in a metaphorical sense but in actuality use our knowledge and influence to sustain their sovereignty and protect their evolutionary genetic structures which underpin our own health.
Is the Sovereignty of Plants a Credible Global Political Agenda?
Respect for the sovereignty of plants dictates actions that can protect our world. Plants transcend national boundaries, their cultivation and use can unify the interests of diverse peoples. Within this concept lies the solution to many of the world’s problems:
Climate — Pollution — Hunger — Peace — Disease
The plants form an army that can defeat all these scourges of modern life.
The Materia Medica of Ayurveda, the ancient health system of India, records 5000 medicinal plants including the methods of their collection, use, and combination. Abbess Hildegard of Bingen enumerated multiple uses of herbs in the 12th century. These are just the tip of the iceberg, there are nearly 400,000 known species of plants.
Aside from food and medicine, throughout history they have been used to make furniture, cutlery and crockery, dwellings, transport, clothing, energy, and much more. All of this can be accomplished without causing pollution.
The Political Agenda of the Sovereign World of Plants:
Outlawing experimentation on the genetics of plants and animals
Rediscovering and valuing non-polluting skills that utilise plants and trees
Reviving the traditional herbal healing methods known by multiple cultures
Organic agriculture free of chemicals which exhaust the soil and kill bees
Teaching sustainable practices for gardening, horticulture, and agriculture
Managing climate change through planting and preservation
Improving food supply by increasing the use of plants in diets
International sharing and celebration of the wonders of plants
Outlawing patents on any genetic sequences derived from plants
Unlike political institutions, the capacity of plants to solve problems cannot be corrupted by power. Yet in our modern life, we have lost the sense of respect, utility, and thanks that plants deserve. We have forgotten the healing properties of plants and many of their other uses. Along with the families of animals, fish, and birds we have began to view them as something to exploit.
Control of the World’s Food Supply is the Ultimate Financial Prize
For the hungry mega corporations, wresting control of our food supply from nature is a mouth watering prospect. It appears to offer an assured source of income and profit stretching into the future. Concern for the consequences of commercial plant production and exploitation is notable by its absence.
Since the patenting of plants is outlawed by international patent law, particularly pharmaceutical and biotech companies have sought to usurp the sovereignty of plants by registering patents over key components of their genetic structures or by slightly altering and thus maiming their structure using genetic manipulation, and then patenting the resulting GM types.
Simultaneously commercial interests are seeking to restrict the use of medicinal herbs by promoting draconian regulation. Andrew Little, the New Zealand Minister of Health, has announced he will be introducing legislation later this year to control the availability of natural products. This will be the third attempt by the Labour Party to do so, two previous attempts were abandoned due to public opposition.
The International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA), of which Medsafe is a member, has a register of hundreds of traditional herbs and plants whose use it wishes to restrict whilst simultaneously approving over 3,000 synthetic or chemical copies. NZ plans to adopt their register.
9 ways ICMRA Members are Affecting Regulations Around the World
1. Herbs, Natural Health Products, and Traditional Medicines are being assessed as pharmaceuticals with a plan to establish regulations mandating standardised dosages of extracted or synthesised ‘active’ ingredients.
2. Database information is being shared between regulators from different countries which restricts herbs using the ‘Rule of Doubt’—absence of modern scientific information is sufficient to implement a ban despite a long term history of traditional safe use.
3. Herbs, vitamins, and remedies are then classified as medicines only available to be used by registered doctors. This grants medical authorities back door “patents” on indigenous plants that will have a global reach within all member countries without having to invoke patent law. Already hundreds of Ayurvedic, Chinese, and other traditional herbs have been stolen in this way, despite the fact that international law forbids the patenting of plants.
4. A bogus argument has been advanced that plants grown in soil are not standardised like pharmaceutical drugs and may vary slightly in composition. The supposed remedy is the production of synthetic copies of herbs and active ingredients in laboratories. They are approved for food and drink using the discredited principle of ‘Substantial Equivalence’ which allows manufacturers to adulterate traditional remedies and produce cheap ineffective copies without labelling—a process that is accelerating rapidly.
5. Many thousands of additives, preservatives, colourings, fragrances, and processing agents are being approved. In many cases, these substances have been implicated as causal factors in cancer, ADHD, and many other chronic illnesses.
6. Enforcement of Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) testing and industrial manufacturing standards, sufficiently costly to bankrupt small and medium sized companies, which will gift competitive advantage to global companies.
7. Compulsory proprietary information collection on Natural Health Products and traditional herbs which will inevitably be shared with pharmaceutical companies through revolving doors and cosy relationships allowing the commercial appropriation of traditional knowledge.
8. The new standards being proposed are setting the maximum daily dose of nutritional supplements equal to the minimum proven therapeutic dose. For example studies show that the minimum effective dose of vitamin B12 is 50mcg which is being set as the maximum dose allowed in supplements. This means that retail B12 supplements will be ineffective in treating B12 deficiencies. Only a medical doctor will be permitted to prescribe the larger effective doses. Retail supplements produced by natural health companies with restricted doses will fall into disuse, in favour of synthetics sold by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical giants as prescribed medicines.
9. Regulatory-style laws hand control of natural medicine regulation to ICMRA rather than national governments. This subverts national sovereignty, undermines indigenous knowledge, and takes the right to choose natural medical treatment away from people everywhere.
New Global Regulation Threatens Alternative Approaches to Health Just When Science is Verifying Their Effectiveness
Modern research has shown that development and treatment of disease is affected by a great number of individual factors including: digestion, diet, genetics, lifestyle, environment, climate, psychology, relationships, fatigue, stress, comorbidities, age, and gender.
Traditional medicine offers a range of individualised approaches to healthcare that take account of these wide range of factors. Traditional and functional medicine involve the care of a skilled and knowledgeable physician to prevent ill health and restore good health by strengthening physiological processes, digestion, and re-establishing balance.
In Contrast Modern Medicine is in Crisis
Antibiotic and anti-fungal resistance threatens to render routine operations life-threatening by 2050.
Healthcare costs and chronic disease incidence are increasing so rapidly, that healthcare is being rationed in many countries.
More than 50% of the population now suffer from chronic diseases.
Adverse reactions to prescription drugs are now the third leading cause of death.
New diseases are emerging and old diseases re-emerging.
The List of Planned Restrictions is Surprisingly Wide
The shopping list of those planning to cut off our access to traditional remedies is very long and largely incomprehensible until you realise that there are commercial companies seeking to control their supply and secure the profits that can be made via monopoly control based on over regulation.
Even common kitchen herbs and spices have not escaped the notice of regulators taking inexplicable decisions to suit commercial interests.
More than 50% of the public have been using their own money to buy natural health products. This supports individual health and reduces the financial burden of public healthcare. This advantage will be lost if the new restrictions are introduced, leaving the public without medical choice and governments in the hands of international pharmaceutical monopolies. New scientific findings are coming to light that plant genetics plays a role in supporting health which cannot be provided by synthetic production. Genetic information in plants is the missing element in our understanding of nutrition. Therefore the proposals to regulate, restrict, and exploit plants in every country pose a threat to the sources of our human genetic stability. We have shared our long journey of evolution with plants. The present time of global crisis is not the time to forget or destroy our long-time supporters who are silently offering us a life line in troubled times, as they have throughout past ages. Please share this information widely with your friends. Contact your MP now to register your opposition to the proposed new regulations.
Lockdown restrictions, including adults wearing face masks, has left a generation of babies and toddlers struggling with speech and social skills, according to an official report.
Inspectors working for Ofsted found that infants being surrounded by adults wearing face masks for significant periods of time over the last two years has damaged their learning and communication abilities.
Those turning two “will have been surrounded by adults wearing masks for their whole lives and have therefore been unable to see lip movements or mouth shapes as regularly,” the report found.
“Some providers have reported that delays to children’s speech and language development have led to them not socialising with other children as readily as they would have expected previously,” it added.
Bryophytes and Embryophytes are the botanical names given to mosses, lichen, liverworts, hornworts, molds, algae and slime.
These are primate plant-like forms which were the first land type plants on the planet, millions of years ago.
It was as a result of these primitive plant forms that began the process of building soils from rocks splitting and powdered by the action of water and ice.
Members of this diverse plant family are found all over the world, many growing in places where no other types of plants could grow, so in a sense they are still creating growing conditions for higher plant forms to grow.
Many bryophytes are very attractive with feather or fern like structures where others look more like something from a alien landscape.
When bryophytes grow in places we do not want them to grow they become a nuisance just like weeds.
Lichen and liverworts appear to be able to grow on most surfaces including glass, public footpaths, fences and roof tiles which are favorite spots for them.
Vertical glass is difficult for them but glass roofs of glasshouses are not.
Algae and mosses growing on paths make for a slippery condition when wet and dangerous to us and can incur serious injury if we slip and fall.
Lichens that colonize on the trunks and branches of plants and trees look unsightly and can lead to rots and losses.
Mosses growing in lawns are another problem, not only making the lawn unsightly but also suffocating our preferred grasses.
More often than not, wherever bryophytes appear, it means a war to eradicate and control.
When action is not taken they prolificate, spreading out to cause more harm.
Bryophytes cannot be controlled easily by scrapping off, as residues will be left that allow them to re-establish.
In lawns many gardeners use sulphate of iron to burn off mosses, which is only a very temporary fix as the acidity of the iron only burns off the top of the moss, allowing it to re-establish again fairly quickly.
There are various products advertised to clean up bryophytes such as ones that are sprayed on, then left for weathering to remove. Many of these are fairly expensive and bryophytes are like ants,
you can never eradicate them as they will always come back .
Bryophytes multiply by spores of which they create vast numbers, carried by water and air they will always return.
Some years back a chemical called benzalkonium chloride, which was used in the medical industry for sterilizing instruments, was discovered to be a boon in the control of bryophytes without harming other plants.
Benzalkonium chloride is an interesting chemical been an aqueous solution and used as a detergent, fungicide, bactericide, and spermicide.
The first product to use benzalkonium for the control of mosses etc was branded, Surrender and the writer picked up on this many years ago and introduced its use to gardeners in Palmerston North though the garden centre I was operating at that time.
It became very popular but was then only available in the commercial pack of one litre.
The product is formulated at 500g / litre benzalkonium chloride in the form of a soluble concentrate and used at the rates of 25 to 50 mls per litres of water.
Many mosses and liverworts need the 50 mls per litre dosage to have effective control where some other bryophytes such as lichen and algae can be controlled successfully at 25 mls per litre.
A product is available from some garden centres or by mail order using the same formulation and called Wallys Moss and Liverwort Control.
Available in both 500 ml and one litre containers making it more affordable in comparison to the previous brands.
When using on moss and liverwort it is very important that you adjust the sprayer’s nozzle so it is a bit of a jet not a spray mist as the product has to be driven into the target plant.
In recent times I have had the thought that as the chemical is used as a fungicide in some commercial preparations then there is an off label use for in for gardeners in helping to control some fungal diseases.
One that comes to mind is the devastating rust that decimated many gardeners garlic crops over the last two seasons.
A spray over the foliage at the very first sign of rust at say 25mls per litre to start with and then upping to 50mils if the lessor rate does not appear to be doing the job adequately.
As we know that the product does not affect plants when sprayed over them while treating lichen and liverworts so I dont see that it would damage the leaves of garlic either. Besides the leaves are being severely damaged by the rust colonies.
In regards to Garlic Rust last season I used Wallys Cell Strengthening products with great success.
The soil drench was applied after the bulbs sprouted and again two weeks later.
When the foliage was showing I did a weekly spray of the Cell silicon Strengthening spray that had the Super Spreader added. I also added some MBL (Magic Botanical Liquid) and molasses to the spray for good measure.
No sign of any rust and a good crop of garlic.
In the meantime with the wet weather times arriving ensure your walkways are kept clear of slippery moss and algae.
I have mentioned several times in past articles about a world wide famine add to that hyper inflation and a energy crisis we have a perfect storm.
My advise is keep the vegetable gardens going and stock up on non perishable food items while you can as they are disappearing from the shelves and replacements are much more expensive.
Happy Gardening and if you email me there are a few bits of other things.
Destroying the food supply, creating a food shortage (hang we’ve been hearing about the shortage for a long time) … meanwhile Bill Gates is buying up African farmland … how else does one create total dependency on the (corrupt) government? Get growing your own food peeps. Our forbears did. And they managed very well with no mobile phones, pcs, supermarkets and fast cars. I think on reflection their lives were actually a whole lot better. EWR

Can anyone explain why absolutely massive fires just keep erupting again and again at critical facilities all over America? The tragic destruction by fire of the headquarters of Azure Standard in Oregon shocked millions of people, and since that news broke quite a few readers have been reaching out to me about the long string of unusual blazes that we have been witnessing from coast to coast in recent months. I decided to look into this phenomenon for myself, and I am sharing what I have discovered so far in this article. Dr. Benjamin Braddock and others had already been digging into this, and their research proved quite valuable as I began my investigation. Some of the incidents that people have reported I was not able to independently verify, and others I felt were too minor to be put on this list. With all that being said, the following is a list of 16 major fires that have occurred at key food industry facilities in the U.S. since the start of 2022…
In my last video on vermicomposting, I went through a simple setup of a single-tote worm bin from Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm. Pretty soon, that bin was full and it was time to redesign the system to be more scalable and easier to work with. A 3-tote stackable system has a few advantages: – Bottom tote can be used for drainage of worm juice – Middle and top bins can be swapped out infinitely – Worms will self-separate from castings, making harvesting castings easy – Can hold way more food scraps and worms Overall, a stackable system is simply better than a single-tote system. This video goes through exactly how to build one, with a few modifications that I made note of in the video. There are probably more ways to improve upon this design as well, so let me know in the comments. So far, it’s working wonderfully though! Making a DIY worm bin adds a ton of extra fertility to your garden and is a great way to make use of food scraps 🙂
Composting is ESSENTIAL for gardeners, no matter how big or small you’re growing. In today’s video we’ll look at 6 different ways you can compost and their pros and cons. I’ve done every single method and have filmed many in-depth videos on these, so dive deep and up your composting game to EPIC levels.
Epic Gardening 1.66M subscribers Apartment gardening and balcony gardening is challenging – you’re often limited on space and sun. You may think you “can’t grow much” in your small space garden, but with a few creative container gardening ideas you can still squeeze an impressive amount out of small spaces.
Magnesium is intimately involved in over 600 reactions in the body including the metabolism of food, the transmission of nerve impulses, the synthesis of fatty acids and proteins, muscle movements, gene maintenance and protein formation.
Unfortunately, studies note that about 50 percent of the people in the United States and Europe get far less than the recommended amount of magnesium. It is important to know that magnesium levels in soil are lower than they used to be. Plus, the use of chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine in water make magnesium less available. In addition, daily use of sugar and caffeine also deplete magnesium supplies within the body. In addition, if you live a high-stress life, it is likely that you are magnesium deficient.
Time flies that’s for sure we are now only about 2 months away from the shortest day and after that has passed we are into a new season of gardening.
Now during this quieter time we can do some tidy ups in preparation for the new season ahead.
Starting for those that have glasshouses or tunnel houses if your summer plants are about finished and ready to remove then it is time to fumigate the house and kill off all the pests that maybe on the old plants and in the nooks and crannies.
The cheapest way to do this is to burn yellow sulphur powder inside the house.
Leave any plants still in the house that are finished as why take them out with likely pests to later infect your outdoor gardens?
The sulphur fumes will likely damage most plants in the house so any that you want to save you should remove their containers or dig them out of the soil and put them in pots.
Move these preferred potted plants to a protected place such as under a carport or on a veranda where they have some protection against the winter chills.
You could spray them with Vaporgard before or after moving them to reduce their shock of being out in the real world.
Close down all your vents leaving the door open for your escape route.
Place about three tablespoons of sulphur powder onto a steel plant such as a spade or hearth shovel.
To light it you need a very strong flame such as one used for burning weeds.
If you do not have then wet a little of the powder with some mentholated spirits and light that.
Once the Sulphur powder starts burning it is hard to put out and all should burn creating sulphur fumes which choke and kill the pests that are inside the house.
Once it starts to burn quickly exit the house and close the door.
Leave the house sealed for a day or two before entering the house which should be safe with only a lingering smell of sulphur.
As it is winter there is no need to open vents or leave the door open to let any pests from outside enter the house.
If you grow in soil or in raised beds in the house you may like to wipe out any possible soil diseases from last growing season.
Some gardeners like to change the soil in the house each winter with the idea that it will remove any soil born diseases.
Outside of a lot of work to do so the only likely advantage is the psychological aspect you gain.
Soil born diseases are very difficult to remove as only a small amount left behind can re-infect the new soil brought in.
Also the new soil brought in may also have diseases in it and so then a waste of time.
In the past injecting steam into the soil was used by commercial growers later to be replaced by chemical sterilization.
For the home gardener this was to use a now banned product called Basamid.
Basamid killed soil diseases, pests and weed seeds and from what I saw in the spring seemed to give the soil a new lease of life as plants seem to take off.
Jeyes Fluid was also another popular disinfectant used to kill bacteria in the soil.
The product is not easily available in NZ anymore but maybe available by mail order.
The problem with Jeyes fluid is that it not only kills the pathogens in the soil but also harms the beneficial microbes which you want for a good healthy soil.
A new natural product is available called Wallys Terracin.
Terracin contains a bacteria that produces antimicrobial compounds which, when introduced to the soil,
resets the existing soil biology.
It contains powerful beneficial microbes that beat up on the pathogens.
As it contains microbes you should only dilute it to the instructions using non chlorinated water as you do not want to kill what you paid for.
Used as a soil drench on lightly moist soil to give the soil a nice soaking as to the instructions on the label.
Two weeks after applying Terracin I suggest that you mix Bio Marinus™ ( manufactured by the enzymatic hydrolysis of fish offal, blended with humate, seaweed and biology including Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma and other beneficial microbes) with Wallys
Mycorrcin in a watering can using non chlorinated water to dilute.
Once mixed apply to the moist soil immediately as the food content in the Mycorrcin will start the microbes breeding and it would, if left in the watering can, overflow the liquid.
Also if you were to put the two products together into a plastic bottle and seal the bottle will expand like a balloon before it explodes.
Powerful microbes for sure.
Also you may like to apply the same treatments to your vegetable garden or other preferred gardens to increase the microbial soil activity making for significantly healthier plants this coming season.
Remember that once used you do not want to destroy what you have created later on by watering the areas with chlorinated tap water.
See www.0800466464.co.nz for a housing and filter system you can easily connect to an out door tap.
Filtered tap water will make am amazing difference to your gardens and plants.
It means healthier plants with less problems as the soil life is not harmed by chlorine poison.
Also if you do not have a filter in the kitchen for drinking and cooking water then you can easily fill flagons or bottles from the filter outside which is much better for your health and the health of your pets.
With this crazy world currently you want to have the best soil possible so you can feed your family with
highly nutritious foods, home grown.
As always for those that are interested send me an email for other non gardening bits.
Fantastic article … lots of things I never would’ve thought Dandelions can do or be … thanks to ruralsprout.com … EWR
It is officially spring when little yellow flowers begin to pop up in the thousands, turning every lawn into a star-studded carpet worthy of applause.
Not everyone thinks the same way though. Much has been written about how to kill this pesky “weed”, to eliminate it from our monocultured green lawns forever.
Instead, what if we embraced the beauty – and medicine – that dandelions have to offer from root, stem and flower?
What if we let the dandelions bloom, unsprayed, to feed bees and wildlife around us?

Official data published by the UK Health Security Agency confirms the fully vaccinated population accounted for a shocking 92% of all Covid-19 deaths across England throughout March,but what’s even more shocking is that 82% of those deaths were among the triple vaccinated population.
NZDSOS.com: Despite evidence provided by NZDSOS and NZLSOS, the Police Commissioner’s office has fobbed us off.
Worldwide many thousands of deaths and vaccine injuries are linked to the use of Pfizer Comirnaty products. New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS) has compelling laboratory microscopy evidence, outlining significant contamination of the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID- 19 Vaccine. In January 2022 NZDSOS and New Zealand Lawyers Speaking out with Science (NZLSOS) have requested an investigation by New Zealand Police. To date, no such investigation has occurred. The failure of the New Zealand Police to act is cause for significant concern. Contaminated vials of the Comirnaty and Pfizer-BioNTech injection have been analysed by four groups of independent scientists within New Zealand.
