CONSULTATION REPORT for:
FLOWERTREE NURSERY, INC.
37921 Flowertree Lane
Grand Island, Florida 32735
1 800 874 9067

Flowertree Nursery has 70 acres of ornamental ferns, asparagi, etc. irrigated under shade cloth, which is marketed to wholesalers to florists for flower arrangements. Prior to going chemical free they used a lot of chemicals, of which 92-93% were insecticides and fungicides with a chemical bill of $150,000 a year.

Then the owner, Kay Hawkins, stumbled across someone with a crystal shop down the road from her who signed on to help with her nursery. He performed miracle after miracle--first wiping out a pest that was stinging workers' hands with an ounce of "elixir" in the irrigation system and presto no more pest. Then it was worms eating the asparagus he was given to work with. He made up an elixir which was irrigated out on the asparagus--presto all the worms moved across the road. It took three days for them to all get out and they were so thick (an inch) on the road that a car would slide off the road trying to drive through them. Then he was given the whole farm and he put out elixirs that transmuted the sand into nutrients and all chemical applications were ceased. The asparagus grew as never before. However, things ended up after six months with the two main money crops, leather leaf fern and pittosporum, suffering from fungus and diseases. Since any blemish rendered the foliage unsellable roughly 80% of the nursery's production was useless. So even though the workers loved the change to no chemicals and Kay and her chief Lieutenants, Kelly and Ivy, were glad to leave the chemicals all behind, it seemed they were either going to have to go back to chemicals or to go out of business, 40 employees and all.

Kay got a hold of me and told me her story. "Is any of this making any sense, Mr. Lovel?" she asked. "Yes!" I told her, as I was astounded that she had stumbled across someone who not only knew that the farm should be treated as a whole, knew that biological transmutation of elements was possible and knew that plants and microorganisms could be induced to change their genetics--this person also knew what do to effect these changes!

I agreed to come down and look at everything in order to spot the trouble. The crystal guy, MaZebah Taahn, had indeed done everything he said. He had transmuted that Florida sand into all the nutrients the plants needed, and his elixirs combated every pest and disease. He didn't understand why the fire fungus kept coming back in the leather leaf fern (40 acres) or why the spider mites kept returning in the pittosporum. He would put out an elixir and presto all the spider mites died. But the next day more would hatch and they would return, and they multiply very, very rapidly. Their predators were there too. I specifically looked for them. They were there, running from one spider mite to another, but they seemed very picky about eating any. Clearly the spider mites were not eliminated and in her business ANY blemish on the foliage made it unsellable.

Kay thought the roots of the plants might have problems, but these were dug up and seemed in good shape. However the foliage on her two top money crops was slow to grow and suffered from the problems above. A notable fact was that many areas, which had formerly been the worst, now came back robust and trouble free while the former best areas came down with troubles. In the leather leaf fern the growth that was most free from fire fungus often was on the edge of the plantings next to the paths where the soil should have been the poorest since it was nothing but sand with nothing to hold nutrients. The worst areas appeared to be where the soil should have been the richest. This might be confirmed by exhaustive soil testing, but a practiced eye aware of the signs of poorer or richer soils showed this clear-cut trend throughout the farm.

As I looked over these acres and acres of plants, everywhere I looked there were NO signs whatsoever of any nutritional deficiency in ANY of the crops. The four different kinds of asparagus were growing beautifully and no one could remember them doing better. But the two most profitable crops, leather leaf and pittosporum, were in serious trouble with only about 20% being harvestable and even that was growing too slowly.

The common denominator was these two crops' foliage spread out horizontally. The asparagus plants all shoot up with very narrow, siliceous leaf gestures. But the ferns and pittosporum had the lime gesture and even though the lime complex plus nitrogen clearly was present in the soil better than I've ever seen it anywhere, including my own farm, it was not getting up into the foliage strongly enough.

I tasted foliage from the pittosporum where the spider mites were eating since taste and smell are two of the best methods of analysis. This was bland and not even very juicy. Not much saliva was generated and the juice was easy to swallow. Then I tasted the same amount of foliage from a part of the patch that was robust and free of mites. This was much stronger and richer and the juice was much richer in vitamin C and minerals. It was harsh and somewhat bitter when swallowed, and it was easy to see why the spider mites were leaving it alone. They couldn't have eaten it. It took me 15 or 20 minutes of swallowing saliva to ease the harsh feeling in my throat even though I had only swallowed a very tiny bit of juice. Interestingly enough, the robust specimen came from the higher ground, which should have been poorer in nitrogen and the lime complex, and which prior to going chemical free had been beset the worst by spider mites. The specimen affected by the spider mites, however, was from an area that was lower and should have caught run-off from higher ground and should have been richer in nitrogen and lime. However, this nitrogen and lime was not getting into the foliage.

In troubleshooting the dynamics of the people of the operation is an important consideration. People have a tremendous effect on the results of an operation, especially as a result of their feelings. I interviewed a couple of the field workers and they obviously liked being chemical free but they were worried that the operation was not making money. They obviously had a strong desire to see it succeed. Kay and her lieutenant, Kelly, who took me on the farm tour, obviously had a very strong, heartfelt wish for the farm to succeed. Nowhere did I encounter any deception, any covert hostility, any feeling of sabotage. Everyone was pulling to make this succeed.

We called MaZebah Taahn and he came for a meeting at the office. As we waited I looked over the records of soil, plant tissue and water tests. Historically the soil pHs were down in the low 4s though the water, coming from a limestone aquifer, was neutral pH with considerable calcium in it. Without that I couldn't see how the plants had even grown before the change to chemical free had taken place. All the tests prior to the conversion revealed a wide array of nutritional deficiencies with only an occasional toxic imbalance--imbalances that occurred only because so many other nutrients were in short supply. That was really interesting considering that presently there were NO signs of ANY deficient or toxic problems.

When MaZebah Taahn arrived he showed me a few things about his method of establishing master patterns to effect transmutation of elements and genetic evolution in the living organisms in the environment. His elixirs were, he explained, microorganism cultures, although he seemed to have a creative definition of microorganisms as these were no ordinary bacteria regardless of having been derived from something of the sort. He also showed me his Biotron, which was more or less a simple radionic device for applying his elixirs at a distance. I saw the log where Kelly had been using the Biotron as MaZebah Taahn had taught Kay and Kelly to dowse and to use their pendulums to determine what treatment to apply next with the Biotron. There were a selection of "micro-organism" cultures representing a variety of master patterns that could be used to fine tune things on the farm when applied with the Biotron. Despite a feeling that the farm was on the verge of going under this work was proceeding very hopefully and devotedly.

However, despite all this enormous progress toward going completely chemical free the two chief money crops were not producing as was needed and there was frustration, invalidation and even a certain amount of blame in the atmosphere. MaZebah Taahn, after performing so many seeming miracles was expected to pull this rabbit out of his hat as well. But he had done what he knew how to do, and his method of turning the corner on the problem was to wait on the evolution of the plants and their environment until this rectified the problem. How long would that take? Unless there was a breakthrough quite soon the farm would either have to go back to chemicals (which MaZebah Taahn assured me it could not do because at this point the chemicals would be transmuted and nullified as soon as they were applied) or go out of business. The cure had to be effected within a couple months because even after the cure was effected it would take close to four months for the ferns and pittosporum to grow out to harvestable maturity.

From MaZebah Taahn's point of view the ball was in Kay and Kelly's court. He was content to have the farm cease being, but they were not. So it was up to them to do something. Unfortunately they, and particularly Kay, were taking this as though they were doing something wrong. They were feeling invalidated. However, this had not stopped Kay from ordering every sort of book on biodynamics, transmutation, working with nature spirits, etc. in order to take a crash course in solving her riddle. And, of course, she had gotten me to come down to Florida to troubleshoot for her.

I had to point out that she had come an astonishingly long ways in just six months. She had seen the possibility of going completely chemical free and had jumped on it wholeheartedly. She hadn't held back the slightest. Most, most remarkable! I had been through the whole farm. The soil fertility was astonishing and clearly this farm was almost all the way there in terms of solving the riddle of how to grow the highest quality foliage on almost pure sand with no purchased inputs of any kind. Who would have believed it possible? Yet, Kay had gone for it wholeheartedly and not dragged her feet. She saw this was real and reached for it. Few people have such clear perception or such faith. She needed validation for this.

We broke for lunch as the atmosphere was one of misunderstanding, invalidation and frustration. It shouldn't have been considering how much had been done. Everyone present had performed outstandingly, Kay, Kelly and MaZebah Taahn. There, was, of course, a missing piece to the puzzle. What was it? Could everyone get a grasp of it and assume the responsibilities of putting this remedy into effect? Kay was at one pole of wanting the farm to succeed with MaZebah Taahn at the other of being willing to let it go. Kelly was in the middle but with a clear bias toward seeing the farm succeed. Kay had virtually turned over responsibility to MaZebah Taahn. Then when he reached the limit of what he could do he gave the responsibility back to Kay and left her with the ball in her court. Well, that was where it belonged, as she was, after all, the boss. However, the burden of invalidation had to be lifted first of all. Kay's self-confidence had to be restored. Then remedy could proceed. It was going to take a private session with no distractions with Kay. Then I could have a private session with MaZebah Taahn to alert him to some aspects of agriculture he was insufficiently aware of.

After lunch Kay and I sat out under a pine tree and I went over with her, what was her problem, how had she participated in it and how had she tried to solve it? What seemed to emerge was she had already done an outstanding job and her current crisis was through no fault of her own or anyone else around her. She was ready simply to do whatever she needed to next.

I pointed out that her asparagus was responding very well--better than ever before. The crops that were having trouble were the two that spread out their foliage horizontally. One was suffering from fungus and the other from an insect. The asparagus was not suffering from anything. Asparagus is a very erect plant with very thin, slender, siliceous foliage. The leather leaf and pittosporum were very broadleaved plants with spreading, horizontal, calcareous foliage. It was no accident that one type of plant had everything it needed while the other did not.

In agriculture silica works upward in a levitational way like a fountain gathering its strength from within the earth and streaming it upward vertically. By way of contrast lime works downward from above, pooling out horizontally. In plants lime must be carried from the soil into the leaves and fruits by the fountain of silica which rises upward on the vertical axis while spewing out lime to fill out the horizontal axis in the plant.

In the soil silica is receptive in nature. In the plant it is fruitful and expressive--it drives the emergence of form. In the soil lime is digestive in nature. In the plant it is nutritive and supportive—it fills out the forms. What mediates in this process is clay. It is through clay that the silica goes from receptive in the soil to expressive in the plant, and it is through clay that the lime goes from digestive in the soil to nutritive in the plant.

In Kay's farm there was no shortage of silica in the soil! It was practically all sand. No wonder her whole farm was so receptive to the changes going on. Due to the transmutations MaZebah Taahn effected with his microorganisms and master patterns there was also plenty of the lime complex in the soil. So it had become very digestive. However, since the fire fungus in the leather leaf and the spider mites in the pittosporum are digestive in nature it was clear that the lime in the soil was not getting into the plants well enough to become nutritive and fill out the broadleaf plants. Rather, its digestive properties were radiating upward into the foliage from the soil and by-passing the plant, recycling the plant foliage. The asparagus was doing fine because it didn't need all that much lime to fill out its foliage. But the leather leaf and pittosporum needed a lot and they weren't getting enough. Interestingly these two crops were doing the best where the soil's lime influences were weakest and the silica influences were strongest.

Clearly the influences of clay were far too inadequate on this farm. There was virtually no clay in the soil and nothing was being done to boost the activities of clay in carrying the silica forces upward into the plants and along with it the lime. Everything else was working astonishingly well. But insufficient lime was getting into the broadleaf plants and THIS WAS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHERE THE LIME WAS WORKING MOST DIGESTIVELY IN THE SOIL. The next question was what to do to remedy this?

I set up one of my biodynamic field broadcasters with all the biodynamic preparations, especially horn silica in the upper well and horn clay in both wells, to remedy the problem of not enough upward movement of nutrients into the foliage. I set this up in the same energy vortex that MaZebah Taahn had his SawTee device to broadcast the twelve master pattern energies throughout the farm, and I explained the role of clay to Kay as I did this.

Then I visited MaZebah Taahn in at his crystal shop and conversed with him, finding out more about how he was doing things and explaining the role of clay and particularly horn clay. I guided him through the importance of the energy in the atmosphere, which drew the lime complex up into the leaves by way of clay and silica. I gave him samples of all my biodynamic preparations for him to incorporate into his master pattern collection and we discussed the importance of putting the horn clay and horn silica out with the Biotron rather than through the irrigation system. Basically the irrigation system works downward into the soil. However, there is at present too much energy working downward and not enough working upward. The Biotron allows the horn clay and horn silica influences to work upward, so this is the desired mode of application for now.

I also, of course, was fascinated with how MaZebah Taahn had effected the transmutation of the soil into everything the plants needed. Chief amongst his methods was something he devised called a SawTee, which is a small unit like a large children’s' toy jack with six legs at right angles to the center. It is placed in the soil at an energy vortex, and it contains twelve cultures of microorganisms to which he imparted a variety of master patterns. These master patterns are alive since they are carried on microorganisms, and placing them in the SawTee and broadcasting them sows these master patterns into the environment of the farm organism. The master patterns then are picked up by the microorganisms, plants, etc. in the farm environment and from then on out no fertilizers are needed, the genetics of the plants change and evolve. It seems the SawTee works well in tandem with my field broadcasters, and in the future I expect to include a SawTee with every field broadcaster package.

My own feeling is the main key to getting Flowertree Nursery into abundant chemical free production has been found. Doubtless many subsidiary things can be done to assist with this. Signs of improvement should be seen immediately, but my feeling is that a complete Moon cycle from new moon to new moon will be necessary for all the areas in trouble to be healed. Kay should no longer feel invalidated or that she is somehow to blame for the difficulties with the leather leaf and pittosporum. MaZebah Taahn has been alerted to the importance of horn clay in conveying the silica, and with this the lime, upward into the growth of plants. Clay allows the silica to go from receptive to expressive and the lime to go from digestive to nutritive. So if he or anyone else at Flowertree sees signs this is not working properly they should know what to do.

I DO want to be kept posted on developments. Feeling this will get the desired results is not the same as getting them. There is always more to learn, and frequently there is more to be learned from failure than from success. In this case, however, let us pray for success.

Best wishes,
