I wonder how well it works and if can be regularly maintained. How cost efficient is and who is developing it. BTW, the number about the rain forest. That number can not be right. That kind of math is the one that make people think that we the environmentalist are making most of the stuff up. But, well, that is my humble opinion. GP: Agreed, it might not be true at the moment but the best I can now find is at least 1 acre when the question ....How much of the Amazon rainforest is cut down each day? Is asked.... still too much whichever way we look at it.... Thanks for dropping by. Very interesting. I wonder how well it works and if can be regularly maintained.

Should be organic, surely? If cow's milk is not homogenised (which it is in UK) it is alkaline and very beneficial! As I live in British Territory I drink Goats Milk. Even so - I like the list of foods. Thank You Cow’s milk? Should be organic, surely? If cow’s milk is not homogenised (which it is in UK) it is alkaline and very beneficial!

It does stand to reason that water (being a solvent) would leach chemicals from the plastic it's stored in. In Australia, our tap water is unfortunately of a poor quality, with a noteable chemical taste. A friend of mine in Western Australia worked for the Water Corporation, and attended a talk by their lead chemist - I forget his actual title. He was asked a question from an audience member about flouride levels in the tap water. His reply was that the levels of flouride added to the water were too low to cause related health problems, but that he would not allow his own children to drink straight chlorinated (ie.- scheme) water. He explained that it's not that plain chlorine is harmful, but that chlorine binds very easily to heavy metals and other elements present in the water, to form some very nasty substances that you wouldn't want your children to ingest. I think the best option is to have a metal water container and fill it with tap water that's been through a good quality home filter.

I just don't like the idea of putting "chemical" into my garden. There's a disconnect there that bothers me. These liquid fertilizers look like a good alternative. Will definitely be giving them a try. Thanks. I’ve always tried to use natural fertilizers. I just don’t like the idea of putting “chemical” into my garden.
