Triphid replies on Dec 25, 2020:

@Fernapple With organic fertilizers the actual usage ratio is calculated as being 15 kilograms to every 100 acres, with chemical man-made fertilizers the manufactures STATE that the ratio should be a minimum of 150 kilograms per 20 acres, i.e 7.5 kilograms per acre. Which results in complete saturation of the soils when using non-natural fertilizers and Farmers using non-natural fertilizers spread these self-same fertilizers at least TWICE per Growing Season PLUS once every planting season as well. In my late 20's I worked for a spell on an experimental Cotton farm approx. 100 miles from where I live. One of the job tasks involved was a 'Flag-man' for an aerial Crop-duster, he used a total of 3.5 metric tonnes to cover an area of 10 acres with man-made Chemical fertilizers, 3 times in a 2 month period of which I calculated that a minimum of 15% went directly, by the air-drop, into their Irrigation Channels ( which were fed from the nearby Darling River and emptied back into it as well) PLUS another 15-20% would leach through the soils and got back into the river as well. And yet, 50 miles further north, there was a Farmer growing table Grapes and vegetables who used ONLY organic fertilizers ONCE only per season, no irrigation channels, just pumps to feed water to his drip-feed watering systems and his crop tallies were approx. 2-3 times higher than those of the Cotton farm every year. Plus his annual water usage was between 45-60% LOWER than the Cotton Farm's as well and soil sampling done on BOTH places showed that the Cotton Farm had little or NO earthworms present in the soil where the other property was, literally, 'crawling' with earthworms in abundance. So what, IF anything, does that tell you?

Triphid replies on Dec 24, 2020:

@DenoPenno In actual and historical fact Flavius Josephus ( the name he adopted after being freed from slavery to the Flavians btw) wrote the history of the Flavian Dynasty and called it the "Father, Son and the Holy Spirit of the Flavians, from which the Councils of Nicaea 'plagiarised' the Christian Holy Trinity. Josephus DID write a "History of the Jews," but it was shunned by the Jews, as was he, and by the Bishops of Nicaea because it showed the Jews ( Hebrews) in the TRUE light of what they really were.

Triphid replies on Dec 24, 2020:

@Fernapple Non-natural fertilizers, i.e. man-made Chemical Fertilizers, ARE NOT used in small amounts, they are used by the TONS and TONS but the plants and crops can ONLY utilise the small amounts at any one time, ergo the remainders are wasted completely. Natural fertilizers are far more beneficial to the environment than chemical ones can ever be since not only the plants can utilize the nutrients to promote growth BUT also encourage and feed Natures own Soil Turning machines, the Worms. Worms are VITAL to the production of crops and the environment, 1 single Earthworm can , on its own, turn, aerate and revitalise 1 cubic metre of soil every 36-48 hours. For example, I tested this by making my own Worm Farm using an old bath-tub, adding in 1 cubic metre of degraded soil and 1 cubic metre of 'tired' garden soil and topped it off with a layer of kitchen wastes ( including Chicken Manure, Goat Manure and Horse Manure)(NO MEAT or MEAT Products). I then added 1 single Earthworm to the mix. 3 days later I checked the progress to find that I now had well turned, fresh and reinvigorated soil for my gardens AND approx. 30 worms of different sizes, ranging from almost thread-like through to full sized adult worms. And, before you 'jump in' with a comment that the other worms could have come up from the surrounding soils, No, they could NOT have since my Worm Farm is built on a frame that stands at my waist height ABOVE the surround ground. From my 'little' worm farm I get new, revitalised soils, Worm casting and a liquid I call 'worm juice' which is, in fact, worm excrement. In a second experiment I built another worm farm AND only added chemical fertilizers along with soil and a very small layer of dry, dead leaves from my gardens. and 1 single worm. 3 days later, ALL I had was soil with chemical fertilizers in it, a layer or dried, dead leaves and NO worm/s. So, WHAT exactly does that tell you?

It's 33 B.

Triphid replies on Dec 23, 2020:

@Fernapple Actually I've been using natural organic style fertilizers on my gardens for the best part of 20 years now, what the plants don't use up the worms relish in using. In the 20 years the worm populations in my soils have gone from an average approx. 1 earthworm per 2 square metres to, at my last 'survey, 60+ per half square metre and all are big healthy breeding worms as well. Plus my Kitchen Scraps, lawn clippings, weeds, etc, EXCEPT meat scraps of course, are all either put into a set of Composting Bins or go straight into my Liquid Natural Fertilizer tank where they are allowed to dissolve into a 'tea of sorts' which is then diluted to a 50-50 mixture that is poured over the soil. For example, when I first started my Navel Orange tree was bearing fruits about the size of a Tennis ball with very little taste or juice, my latest crop was oranges as big and sometimes even bigger than I could wrap my fingers around comfortably and so large in numbers that I actually gave away at sum total of 50 kilos to friends, neighbours and needy families. This season, my Nectarines are now, though still unripe atm, the size of Tennis balls and my rough estimate from the 2 trees, grown from seeds btw, is probably going to be approx. 60+ kilos or even more. Man-made Chemical based fertilizers are without a doubt the most harmful things we can add to the soils, not ONLY do the leach into the subterranean water tables but they run-off into streams, rivers, etc, etc, causing often massive outbreaks of Toxic Algae such as Blue-Green Algae ( something we are well aware of out here since Cotton and Rice Farming in the Northern reaches of the Darling River caused MASSIVE Native Fish deaths in the last 2+ years, and also, the addition of Phosphates into these Chemical fertilizers causes massive death tolls with the Native Flora here since phosphates ARE TOXIC to 90% of Native Australian trees and other plants. The self-same trees and plants that help hold the thin top-soils of this country together and STOP/lessen the MASSIVE RED Dust storms that have plague us for the past 3 or more years. A good friend of mine owns and runs a 93,000 acre Sheep and Cattle Property, 25 years ago he inherited it from his parents then set about 'going natural' and restoring the pastures with native trees, plants and grasses using a mix of Sheep, Cattle, Pig and, Yes, Human excrement from his Septic system that is digested by using the bacteria found in the gut of animals like rabbits, etc. even though, at the time, the soil was still very thin and poor nutrient wise, after 3 years his Wool yield went from approx. 600 Bales per Annum to approx. 1,200 Bales per Annum and the Fleece quality has gone from average to High Quality. Even through the recent Drought because he had restored ...

Triphid replies on Dec 22, 2020:

You do actually realize that there is NO definitive proof nor evidence that this Christ existed don't you? However, there is written evidence from the records kept of the 3 Councils of Nicaea that the ENTIRE story, including approx. 99.86% of the WHOLE bible was invented at those Councils solely for the purpose of legitimising the Monotheist belief system that later became known as Christianity. Roman Emperor, Constantine was in a huge bind when he was start his 'take-over' attack' on the last of his opponents to make himself SOLE Emperor of the Roman Empire. He desperately NEEDED the backing of the then Messianic Cult to bolster his forces so he created the the Prophetic dream that he had seen a sign from the Messianic God emblazoned across the sky above Rome and that should the Messianics join forces with his Roman Legions, then on his Victory, he would ensure that their beliefs were accepted into Roman culture, etc, etc. Later, on his death-bed, Constantine recanted the entire 'sign from God' story, refused to be baptised and proclaimed himself to be a Divinity just as was Gaius Julius Caesar.

Just may be she TRACKED him down to his usual haunt, Nimbin, Northern Coast of N.S.W. where the Hippie communities live and he can replenish his supplies of 'weed', etc. If she did that she would most likely have threatened to STOP his monthly payments of $2,000 IF he didn't return home, Broken Hill, immediately.

@HankSherman In actual fact, Yes quite few over years. The first time was in the 70's when I was a part-time Pilot with a Friend who ran an Bush Tours by Aircraft business. He'd come down with a bit what we call 'Delhi Belly' and was unable to fly a Texan family on a 24 hour tour flight. The wife and daughter were lovely people, asking really normal questions while we were in the air, but Mr. Stetson wearer, as I called him later, just kept on and on boasting how big and great Texas was. Until it came close to dusk and then things changed, he started to panic and asking how I knew where we were heading in the darkness. So, I told him, " See the lights on the tips of the 2 wings, as long as we are between those we're going in the right direction, no worries." His wife and laughed for a good ten or so minutes but he just hung his, went red in the face and stayed silent until we landed at Thargominda air-strip and were taken to the Homestead for the night. So, yep met more than my fair share of those wonderful (???) Texans.
