Homeopathy and gardening
One of the things that I really love about Homeopathy is that there is always something that you can learn.
I visited a site that I had not been to for some time . There was all this great info about the use of homeopathy and gardening. Now while I have an interest it is only on a very small scale My partner has often said that Homeopathy must have a way of dealing with the various bugs....at which point I sagely nodded my head saying " Maybe..... "
I was really excited reading the information from the Dutch homeopath Dr. Kaviraj and look forward to reading his book Homeopathy for Farm and Garden.
Below are some remedies and the situations they can be applied to benefit your plants that he has given.
How to use homeopathic products in agriculture?
• Add one drop of the product to one liter of water, shake forcefully for one minute. Spread this dilution by means of an aerosol upon the plants.
• For backpacks or major volumes take this prepared liter and mix it with the water in the container.
• Seeds can be treated by immersing them in this solution for 20 minutes.
Some practical recommendations for the use of homeopathic remedies with plants:
