Masaru Emoto!

:) While, I was being slightly sarcastic there, I am a believer in the power of energy - both healing & destructive. it's the Santa Cruz in me!

I had white flies on my tomato plants last year and my bioD winemaking friend gave me a little dose of 501 (crushed quartz crystals) to combat the little bugs. While I entertained the thought of waking up at dawn and following the "mystic" principles explained to me by my friend, I just applied the tea (diluted in water) before the heat of the day started. Within 24 hours, I had transformed my plants. Not only were the bugs bye bye, but the plants seemed more vivacious, happier, brighter and much, much healthier.
My point: my little experiment told me (& my non-scientific mind) that there must be some science to this stuff, right?
Also, in addition to some common sense views of how to approach agriculture (treat a vineyard as a living being, not indiviual vines - like coral reefs) BioD practitioners just happen to be those who bring a certain brand of reverence and yogic "intention" to their practice/craft. It's really that simple, and I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm more worried about the negative energy given off by growers/winemakers who despise BioD and what effect their bad vibes are doing to their own vines/wine?!

where ever you go, there you are....and were too? so that bottle of vin gris in my fridge, i've already had?
