Good beginning list especially if it comes from people's direct experience.

Ledum worked on weevils on basil one year for me

Sambuca works for cabbage looper worms on the brassicas for me

no one seems to have an insight/experience with striped cucumber beetles which are

prevalent in the US. If this is a EU list, not sure they have those buggers there as Kaviraj has

never given me a remedy for it, nor is it referenced in his book or online lists. Mark Moodie

also has not better suggestion than suppostions. But this beetle carries bacteria wilt with it

and can kill cukes in no time flat.

Aconite is great for black rot on brassicas and other dark greens

Helix does NOT work for the common garden snail that we have; it is for a very different variety

but it does work well for slugs.
So you can add this experience to this generic list

This is excellent information.
I once got a bad infestation of caterpillers of some kind off an elderberry tree with the Bach Flower remedy Crab Apple. I had been picking caterpillars off that tree for two years, nothing I could do to get them off, hundreds and hundreds of them, spent about two hours daily for over a week, Finally had enough, sprinkled the flower remedy on the tree - the next day the caterpillars were all gone, not one to be found and they never returned.

Warmly, Maria

So you used Sambuca for the tree?
Incredible the magic that happens with a correct remedy!

t

Yes that was amazing.
Did have a complete failure trying to use a remedy made from the North American Chestnut blight on about 40 chestnut tree seedlings.
Made up a remedy -6C. All my trees died. Did not see light, but iris inconclusive as the caretaker was neglectful.

I did get Kaviraj's first book on Homeopathy for Farm and Garden which has been somewhat helpful.

Not sure how different his updated version is. Christine Maute has a book but am not familiar with

her approach. And was recently told there is a book by someone named Jenson (sp?) that is available

for the Radar program. So we are beginning to see a body of material building for agro homeopathy

which is terrific.

Good timing on this post, although I should have checked with Kaviraj's advice earlier.

In our development they transplanted a tree with _half_ of the rootball that they should have and then didnt water it. Here in Puebla, MX its the rainy season but still....

So I have been watering it deep and now I am trying Calendula 30c sprayed on the leaves and on the ground. It will certainly be in the realm of a miracle if it recovers from this abuse.

I will let you know the outcome of this experiment.

Roger - How did you mix the Calendula 30C? I mean did you use liquid remedy or did you dissolve pills in water and if so, how much water? Thanks.

Dont know if this is recommended procedure.

I have a typical pump-spray bottle (new from Home Depot) that is used for soaps, etc.

I have a 30c kit from Natural Health Supply which has the poppy-seed sized pellets. Put a half dozen pellets in a small glass of water and stirred til they dissolved. Poured it into the spray bottle and then filled it.

Just sprayed the leaves and in the irrigation water accumulated around the base of the tree.

It doesnt seem to have deteriorated since I did the spraying this morning.
Over last night it had deteriorated drastically.
