I have family that are commercial growers in southern Illinois of corn and soybeans.  In some of their fields are some big pecan trees.  The trees (unfortunately) were planted at the bottoms.  And since fruit and trees need some drying stress to produce these don’t much.
My family only sows at the edges of the trees.  A number of times when they have supplemented their ground with nitrogen they have added it under neither the trees, too.  They did not see any improvement.  Only when adding zinc.

I have read that we are responsible for our own meals, I have also read that if we are late to breakfast we miss breakfast.  We are welcome to dine with Paul where meals are to be expected to be of a certain variety, so bring your own if you have a special diet that is not going to be met.  I have also read that we will have access to rocket stoves and that we should bring our camping cookware.  I have gotten the impression that we might be able to cook at our camping site unless things are too dry.  We will be able to do some foraging, but leave plenty behind for others and for nature.  Also, that we might want to be going to Missoula to get food.  Will we have frig access?  Do we need to bring a cooler?  Will we have access to ice?  What can we expect for provided food and availability to cooking?  Please input anything you see I may have missed that might meet these situations.  Thank you.

I went poo-less about four months ago.  For the first month I felt I needed to give my scalp a scrub every day when I took a shower and then I would sort of scrub my head with my towel to make sure my hair was a not oily (my face and head have a tendency to be very oily.  After that first month I started lessening up on all the scrubs.  I also started swimming in the pond and called that my shower.  Soon a dip in the pond became all I do.  No scrubbing of anything.  I will pat myself dry if I have to go inside, but if not I let myself air dry.  I think my skin is now healthier and I know my face and head as well as the rest of my body do not produce oils anywhere near as much.  Part of that oil cure is also due to removing all animal products from my diet.  Oh, and since I have gotten to the final stage of being poo-less I also no longer have dandruff.  Took about two and a half months to get there.  I was not nasty during that 2.5 month period, but not squeaky clean either.  I just gradually progressed with doing less as my body got used to the change.

Paul,

I am getting ready for the trip and after searching my emails for the address to Wheaton Labs I have come up without success.  Can you please send it to me?  Also, I know you are very cautious about giving it out, but my parents are nervous about me going without having the address to know where I am.  This in part is because I am my grandma's care giver and my mom will be covering for me while I am gone.  Is it ok if I give it to them?  Thank you for your time.


May Christ's blessings and mercy be upon you.

Sorry, I meant 216-218.  Thank you for the link.  I am grateful for all the good that you do.
May Christ's blessings and mercy be upon you as yours have been upon many.

I noticed that in the podcast download of 201-240 that 206 and 116-118 are missing.

Hi, Paul
I am wanting to purchase a ticket for the Homesteaders PDC, but on Sunday mornings I will not be available to participate in the PDC.  My prayer is that, God willing, this conflict is surmountable.

Any idea if there will be a PDC & ATC for 2018?  90% sure I would be able to attend and the whole thing at that, so I am particularly eager.

Have you considered the Eastern Orthodox (Russian, Greek, Serbian, Antiochian...) and Oriental Orthodox (Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian...) Churches?  The availability of lamb is important for their public festivals as well as their more private ones.  Easter being the biggest and the most obvious one.  

There is a book called Test Your Soil With Plants second edition by John Beeby.  This book might be of use.
