I have been using homeopathy for my livestock for 20 years, but I've just
gotten started with homeopathy for plants. We used it when someone hit one
of our fir trees going 45mph, and resulted in a huge chunk of bark being torn
away. That tree has apparently recovered well from its ordeal, but they're
so long lived the real test will be to see how well it continues to do over the
passage of years. Not exactly the type of field trial to tell us how well
something works.
I do have a single book on the topic but I haven't gone through it
yet. I plan to use this approach if/whenever I have disease
issues in individual plants or plantings that I can't seem to trace back to
more common issues (ie, nutrition, temperature, moisture, etc). For
both plants and animals, we look first to the diet and environment to
make sure that everything the organism needs is actually being provided. A
lot of times a correction there takes care of things. Only after
we've covered that base, and/or we already know the diet and environment are in
good shape yet we have some acute issue, do we look for additional
ways to treat incidents of disease. I remember seeing some individual
plants in the various greenhouse plantings last year that seemed to have
"trouble" despite all their neighbors doing well, like the individual tomato
seedlings which spontaneously just suddenly weakened and keeled over for no
obvious reason. I might experiment with that type of issue this year and
see if I can figure out either a curative or preventative treatment. In
all that spare time I have laying around. :)
