Sometimes it is the simple things that can make a big difference to your plants and gardens.
In recent times we have explained the virtues of using Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, Magic Botanic Liquid, Aspirin, hydrogen peroxide, the list goes on and each of these can improve and make a difference.
Plants like a range of minerals and elements besides the standard NPK food which is the bases of plant food whether it is natural or man made.
There are 114 known minerals and elements and if they are applied to the soil or sprayed over plants then the plants can take in the ones they require and that increases the health of the plant and it grows faster and better.
For instance I read somewhere that a tomato likes and requires 56 minerals and elements, but it did not say what ones these are.
So what happens if a plant needs say a little selenium or boron it either suffers and does not do so well or it may it takes other available elements into its little chemical lab and convert these to what it needs?
If that is the case the plant is using energy and growing time to manufacture a element it needs.
So if we were to apply all the 114 known minerals and elements to growing medium then the plant can take up all the ones it needs and not waste growing time or energy.
Where do we find the 114 minerals and elements? Simple, Wallys Ocean Solids.
I have had gardeners come back to me saying that they used the Ocean Solids in their gardens or sprayed plants with it and what a difference it made in growth and health.
I learnt about this many years ago reading about Sea 90 by a Doctor Maynard Murry and the experimentation that he did to prove the tremendous value of the 114 minerals and elements that are in perfect balance as in Wallys Ocean Solids.
Here is the bases of the story that I read:
The deep blue water of the ocean is rich in minerals and elements, in fact all the 114 elements known to man. These elements are also in perfect balance for living organisms, health and well being.
Back in the 60s/70s a Dr Maynard Murry did a incredible amount of research into ocean solids and wrote the book Sea Energy Agriculture: Nature’s Ideal Trace Element Blend for Farm, Livestock and Humans.
Maynard dissected hundreds of ocean creatures and never once found tumours or disorders in their organs. Doing the same to fish from streams and lakes, many were found to have tumours etc.
In one case he dissected a 100-year-old whale and found its organs in pristine condition as good as a newly born whale. Maynard realised it was the ocean water, rich in minerals that allowed the creatures living in it to be so free of the ills that affected land creatures.
We know that at various times, all land masses were for periods of times, under the sea.
When a land mass arises from the sea it is mineral rich and once plant life establishes on the land it too is rich in minerals. But over time through rain, erosion and leaching a lot of the minerals gained by the land are lost back into the sea.
It is interesting to note that in isolated pockets on the planet, where because of the terrain, that leaching does not take place. People living in these pockets more often than not live to over a 100 years of age, in excellent health.
The reason, Maynard says, is because of the mineral rich diet they have, which allows the cells of the body to replicate perfectly, slowing right down the aging process and maintaining very healthy organs.
Maynard believed that if you give a plant all the possible minerals and elements it may need to grow as it should, then that plant would not be so susceptible to diseases common to it.
Trials proved this point by supplying Ocean Solids to say nectarine trees in a row. Every second tree received the solids, the others being the controls. Then curly leaf disease was sprayed over all the trees.
After three years the controls had all died and the Ocean Solid trees never showed any signs of the disease. A number of similar trials were done on various plants with the same results!
Maynard took this a stage further by growing various crops of grains and feeding them to 200 female mice (C3H) that had been bred to always develop breast cancer which causes their demise.
200 more of the same C3H mice were fed conventional foods of whom all died within the normal 9 month period that their condition dictated, during which time they produced the normal two or three litters (all to die later).
The Ocean Solid fed group were sacrificed at 16 months and a definitive examination revealed no cancerous tissue.
This group also produced ten litters and no sign of the cancer in the off spring! The Ocean Solids foods had removed the cancer.
If we take this to the next stage then people that grow their own vegetables and fruit with Ocean Solids will be able to have in their food chain all the minerals that those vegetables are capable of taking up.
Maynard found that vegetables etc were capable of taking up about 20 to 40 odd elements dependent on the type of plant.
On the other hand wheat and barley are capable of taking up all the 114 odd elements if available. This is why wheat grass juice has become a very important plant in our health/ food chain.
Two aspects of this have become very important in my concerns for plant health and people’s health.
If we use Ocean Solids in our gardens along with other natural plant foods, building up the soil life populations, including the worms, then we will have very healthy plants that will not suffer from diseases unless they become stressed for some reason, or reach the end of their days.
If we grow our own vegetables, fruit and wheat grass with Ocean Solids our health can greatly improve, markedly reducing the possibility of many ills such as cancer.
Think of it, healthy roses, plants and gardens along with better health for you and your family.
OCEAN SOLIDS, USE AT: New or existing gardens; 35 grams per square metre on gardens, sprinkled on and watered in.
Use at the above rate for first year and then at half the rate for years 2 to 5. No further applications then for 5 years. Scoop supplied is 70 grams when filled to slightly heaped.
For trays or container plants use at a tablespoon per 4.5 litres of mix. (Scoop does 18 Litres Mix).
SPRAY APPLICATION: One tablespoon to 4.5 Litres of water spray over foliage to run off. The Purpose for the spray, is as a natural insecticide, fungicide and foliar feed.
Use only Bi-Monthly and late in day when sun is off the plants.
PLANT FOOD: Use at 1 gram per Litre of water.
Wheat Grass For Juicing: A must to be added to a good animal manure based compost, at the table spoon per 4.5 litre rate.
Unlocking Your Soil can be added also and watered in with MBL.(Magic Botanic Liquid).
Wallys Ocean Solids are solar dried only, with no further refining, to ensure that as many of the mineral and elements possible, are present in this product.
Bear in mind that the above use rates on to gardens will over time, with other natural products, bring up the health levels of the plants.
Some plants will respond fairly quickly where others may take a season or two to see really good changes. Plants in stress because of lack of moisture etc can still have problems, even with this programme.
Good gardening practices are also needed.
Your gardens, Your health.
Wallys Ocean Solids are available in 1.3kilo pouches or in bulk 10kilo bags.
