Has anyone making an Isopathic dilution of specific plant pests

[beetles, borers, aphids, etc] and spraying that on the leaves/roots

of the affected plant(s)?

If yes, with what results?

Hi all,

within bio-dynamic agriculture the farmers do have a long tradition in fighting

parasites the way described here.

Already in the beginning of 1900 Rudolf Steiner described the spesific methods

in doing this.

It works often wery well. Those of you who want to try this, should look up the

spesified instructions on the making of there remedies; you have to take care

about the time of the day, how much ashes and so on.

Pertsonally I suppose that what is really working is the intention of the

medicine-producer. This all look to me much like woodoo, and that works through

YI.
