Bali Silent Retreat - Mrs.SSSSS - Tomat Super Strong Self Sustaining Seedlings Tomatoes

Our Garden’s SSSSS’s Veggies (Super Strong Self Sustaining Seedlings)

August 11, 2017/in Blog Snippets, Green to Extreme /by balisilent

Growing anything without commercial fertilizer is challenging, because the vegetable seeds today (even the organic ones) have grown lazy and accustom to super stimulation with super fertilizers. We discovered veggies who (we anthropomorphize them, ‘cuz they’re our friends) survived drought, flood, neglect, etc., and keep on giving and giving and giving. Here’s the story: A […]

Independent of meditation or yoga or other modalities, balance has become a main-stream desire. Rightly so? Through scientific observation humans have […]

Parts of ourselves come into vision, that we may not had the opportunity of meeting before. Similar to how our Apps operate in […]
