The Compost Heap = Organic Garden Soil
Because of the fact that with the growth of plants, nutrients are taken away from the ground, they must be replaced, so that on a continuing basis no shortage phenomena appears. The best way to achieve this is with the help of natural compost (organic garden soil) with whose decomposition by micro-organisms nutrients are slowly released, which are available then to the plants for a longer period.
You should never use mineral fertilizers in your garden. They contain phosphorus, potassium and magnesium in different composition. Indeed, they are dissolvable and therefore, can be fast absorbed by the plants, but above all, they also reach the nitrate nitrogen in the ground and poison there the ground water.

Organic garden tips : Crops, rich in yield by mixed cultures
As a bio-gardener you should make yourselves familiar with the cultivation of the plants in mixed cultures using our organic garden tips. Also in the nature plants always grow free in a community, they help and complement each other. You can do similar experiences if you cultivate several vegetable kinds and different herbs in a patch of the garden. Causes for pests and illnesses can be eliminated by favorable combination as well as yield and quality substantially can be increased. Mixed cultures take into consideration the different nutrient needs and the growth behavior of the plants in your organic garden and home.
Organic Garden Tips
The plant distances must be chosen with the mixed culture in such a way that every kind receives the necessary place. The rows grow together in summer so close that the ground remains shady, humid and to a great extent without weed.
At the beginning you are better off if you use our organic garden tips or imitate experienced neighborhoods (see the following list), then later you can experiment yourselves.

A biogarden – for ourselves and for the love of nature.
A organic garden and home is the most valuable gift you can give to your family.
Already 100 square meters of fertile garden ground are sufficient, with skillful cultivation, to supply a 4-headed family all year round with vegetables, salad , berries and fruit. Scientists have concluded that a natural garden have a considerably better ecological use to nature than a fallow wasteland or forest surfaces.
Organic Garden and Home
With the fruits which you harvest from your own organic garden and home, you alone determine how much they are poisoned with pesticides and Fertilizers. Not only the health of the family, but also the nature is saved by a cultivation way free of poison.
Theory On Global Warming

Chilly reception for theory on global warming
David A. Fahrenthold, Washington Post

Has climate change been around as long as the pyramids?
It is an odd-sounding idea, because the problem is usually assumed to be a modern one, the product of a world created by the Industrial Revolution and powered by high-polluting fossil fuels.
But a professor emeritus at the University of Virginia has suggested that people began altering the climate thousands of years ago, as primitive farmers burned forests and built methane-bubbling rice paddies. The practices produced enough greenhouse gases, he says, to warm the world by a degree or more.
Other scientists, however, have said the idea is deeply flawed and might be used to dampen modern alarms over climate change.

Ocean being poisoned by Organic Pollutants
By GNA – Ghana News Agency
Science/Nature | Fri, 18 Sep 2009
A Japanese Professor in Geochemistry, Hideshige Taka, on Thursday said the ocean was being poisoned with Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), which caused deformities in marine lives and human beings.
He explained that aquatic animals especially fishes transfer the effect of the POPs, which were like plastic resin pallets and in the form of small granules, generally with the shape of a cylinder or a disk, with a diameter of about a millimetre through the food chain.

MONDAY, Sept. 14 (HealthDay News) –
Breathing polluted air for even two hours can boost blood pressure, potentially raising the risk of cardiovascular disease in those exposed to smog, a new study suggests.
Although the increase may not mean much for healthy people, “this small increase may actually be able to a trigger a heart attack or stroke,” study author Dr. Robert D. Brook, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Michigan, said in a university news release.

Wind Mill Turbine

Wind Mill Turbine as a Practicable Answer to Meeting Alternative Energy Needs.
Although it is much less expensive to initially get hooked into the local electric company’s grid than it is to set up and hook into wind mill turbine, in the long run one saves money by utilizing the wind for one’s energy needs-while also becoming more independent. Not receiving an electric bill while enjoying the advantages of the modern electrically-driven lifestyle is a wondrous feeling.
Electric bills and fuel bills are increasing steadily-but the cost of a Wind Mill Turbine energy is zero, and the cost of installing and hooking up a turbine is steadily coming down as demand rises and more commercial success is realized by various companies producing the turbines and researching technologies to make them ever more efficient.
In addition, people are moving away from the conventional electric grids and the fossil fuels for personal reasons as well as desire for greater independence, the desire to live remotely or rurally without having to “go primitive”, political concerns such as fears of terrorist strikes on oil fields or power grids, or concerns about the environment.
Again, this motivation to get away from the traditional energy sources is the similar one that causes people to seek the power of the wind for their energy, giving more commerce opportunities to profit from wind mill turbine production and maintenance, which drives their costs down for the consumers.
In nearly thirty states at the time of this script, homeowners who remain on the grid but who still choose to use wind energy (or other alternative forms) are eligible for rebates or tax breaks from the state governments that end up paying for as much as 50% of their total “green” energy systems’ costs.
In addition, there are 35 states at the time of this writing where these homeowners are permitted to sell their excess energy back to the power company under what are called “net metering laws”.
The rates that they are being paid by the local power companies for this energy are standard retail rates-in other words, the homeowners are in reality profiting from their own energy production. You can start just here assemble your own Isle-Energy-Powerplant with your own hand with no need any knowledge about produce your Energy yourself.
Some federal lawmakers are pushing to get the federal government to mandate these tax breaks and other wind power incentives in all 50 states. Japan and Germany already have national inducement in place. Nevertheless, “A lot of this is handled regionally by state law. There wouldn’t really be a role for the federal government,” the Energy Department’s Craig Stevens says.
And as might be imagined, there are power companies who feel that it’s unfair that they should have to pay retail rates to private individuals. “We should [only have to] pay you the wholesale rate for … your electricity,” according to Bruce Bowen, Pacific Gas & Electric’s director of regulatory policy.
However, the companies seem to be more worried about losing short term profits than about the benefits, especially in the long run, of the increased use of Wind Mill Turbine or wind farms.
Head of the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies of California V. John White points out, “It’s quality power that strengthens the grid.”

Geothermal Sources

Geothermal Sources as Alternative Energy Supply ???
We should be doing everything possible to develop geothermal sources and there energy technologies. This is a largely untapped area of tremendous alternative energy potential, as it simply taps the energy being naturally produced by the Earth herself. Vast amounts of power are present below the surface crust on which we move and have our being. All we need do is tap into it and harness it.
At the Earths’ core, the temperature is 60 times greater than that of water being boiled. The tremendous heat creates pressures that exert themselves only a couple of miles below us, and these pressures include huge amounts of energy. Superheated fluids in the form of magma, which we see the power and energy of whenever there is a volcanic eruption, await our tapping.

Feng Shui History

Chinese Feng Shui History – A Celebrated Step To A Healthy Life.
Chinese Feng Shui is the very old Chinese practice of utilizing certain so called laws governing the universe and earth that can recover through what is called having helpful Qi. Feng Shui history is an ancient one and covers over 3,500 years. It is even older than the creation of the magnetic compass. A main portion of its origins may stem from ancient astronomy.
The astronomical history of Chinese Feng Shui is apparent in the ancient instruments that were developed in its practice.
The most basic known Feng Shui instrument may have been what is renowned as the gnomon. This instrument was used along with trying to circumpolar the stars in order to determine the north and south axis. This was basically used in laying down early Chinese settlements.
The ancient Yangshao and Hongshan cultures in China supply the earliest evidences of the perform of feng shui. As early as 4000 BCE, doors from Banpo dwellings were associated to the star called Yingshi just right after the winter solstice.
This permitted the homes to be sited for better solar gain. During the Zhou era, the star Yingshi was known as Ding and had a great authority in trying to determine the appropriate time to build their capital city. This is according to records on the Shijing.
Another example of the practice of ancient chinese feng shui can also be found from the grave at Puyang that dates back to about 3000 BCE. This particular grave contains mosaics of the stars called Dragon and Tiger along with the Beidou, known in the Western world as the Big Dipper constellation. The mosaics appear to be oriented along the north to south axis. The presence of round and square shapes were also found at the Puyang tomb as well as at the Hongshan cultural ceremonial centers and the former Longshan resolution. These evidences suggest that the practice of gaitian astronomy (belief in a round earth and a square earth) was already existing in the ancient Chinese society.
One of the oldest instruments used in earliest feng shui were the liuren astrolabes. These very old instruments consist of a lacquered, two-sided board equipped with astronomical sightlines. The oldest of the liuren astrolabes have been initiate and exposed from tombs dating from 278 BCE and 209 BCE.
These ancient astrolabes show the cord-hook diagram and some those found even include the magic square of three. The markings on these instruments remained untouched, from the ancient astrolabe down to the first magnetic compasses.
The practice of astronomy that bears a striking resemblance to many modern feng shui devices and theories were also exposed on a jade artifact found in Hanshan that dated at around 3000 BCE. Ancient structures in China which included its palaces in the capital cities are all influenced by chinese feng shui in their design and layout.
The rules that were followed were written for the period of the Zhou era on the “Kaogong ji”, or the “Manual of Crafts”.
The magnetic compass was initially invented for the practice of chinese feng shui and has been in use since its invention. Traditional feng shui instruments include the Luopan or the earlier south-pointing spoon or the zhinan zhen.
This shows the extent of chinese feng shui history and its long standing practice in ancient Chinese history.
