A.C.E. Plants

(Recession proof your garden.)

by Dana Dudley

 

 

The first three pictures are of marigolds which were planted in a hanging basket on the north side of my gazebo. The marigolds on the right, in the picture above, had the seed dipped in water with A.C.E. in it. The ones on the left were grown with only water. I soaked both peat pellets, one with A.C.E., one without. Next, I planted them both in a hanging basket. They are one month old now.

 

This is a top view of the plants. The ones on the right were grown with A.C.E., and the ones on the left are grown with water. The soil has never been changed from the original soil where chemicals were used. Look at the size differences in one month.

 

This is the control group. As you can see, they are stunted in height, and the leaves are tiny and curling. This land had Roundup used on it for decades, and was never changed or improved. This is not organic at this time.

 

Here is a small solar light for the evening, and the marigolds really can share the difference A.C.E. and water are making! Look at the sorry scrawny ones that did not receive anything but water. They may not survive! And if they do, they will be overtaken and remain small underneath the others, which would create a two tiered effect.

 

These marigolds were planted in an 18” container on the west side of my house. This is a 4 week old marigold plant on the right. The seed was dipped in A.C.E. plus water, and then stuck into inexpensive potting soil.

 

Untreated seed, same potting soil, same planter.

 

Another untreated marigold, not doing very well.

 

Treated with A.C.E. water before planting, this one month old marigold is nearing 5 inches, and there has never been any soil remediation done or any additional A.C.E. watering.

 

These three rose bushes are moving on up! One took off toward the east, and almost appears it wants to become a climber (maybe a social climber on the internet, but nothing other than that!) That is a 2 gallon container, by the way, in case you wondered!

 

The new rose branch on the right is new growth since the application of the water mixed with A.C.E. a week previously. It is a new growth on a rose bush which has never been treated with A.C.E. before. Look at the large healthy new leaves and thorns, and how tough and thick they are now.

 

This is one of the leaves on the side of the rose bush that grew before the A.C.E. was applied. Fuzzy, but you can see it is not very large, and the leaves are stressed which is why the bugs love it. Aphids would eat those in a couple days.

 

This is the other A.C.E. treated rose bush after two weeks. The leaves are tough and thicker, not to mention larger than the leaves which grew before the A.C.E. treatment was made.

 

You can see the difference in the size of the newer leaves.

 

This red section popped out 4 days after a three day rain which ended on Monday on the third week of May, 2010, and it is thriving.

 

This is a one gallon bucket with assorted bulbs I soaked in A.C.E. water for two minutes. They were planted a month ago, the last week of April, 2010. The leaves and plant have reached 26" now. I dug the bulbs out of a nearby road ditch.

 

I couldn't hold the yard stick sideways and take the picture at the same time, but you can see the width is almost 1" at the base of the plant...it only gets stronger and wider as time passes.

 

Darn, I moved the yardstick slightly. Well, it measures over one inch wide already. Amazing for a new bulb a month old!

 

The Lucky Number Dahlias were planted less than a month ago. I dipped the bulb into water with A.C.E., and then watered the plant around the base thoroughly. Look at the vibrant health already! And all those new leaves and branches...

 

I tried to capture a picture of the Dahlia leaf so you could see it is against the main stem, but the leaf kept falling down on me, so I just took the shot anyhow. The new leaves are already at 6 inches...and this is at one month?

 

The mint is growing tall and proud and is chock full of new shoots at the base of the plant. That is a standard height birdbath, and it is already at the base of the birdbath bowl. The A.C.E. was added to the water and then poured around the base of the plant. It is already about 22-23 inches tall.

 

This sage is one plant, and is almost as tall as it is wide now! The leaves feel like velvet, and the back of them have the veins standing at attention ready to supply the water to it. The sage plant is drought resistant and bug resistant. Imagine how big and tasty these leaves will be! No more grocery sage created with chemicals for friends...I already have more than I will use this year in one plant!

 

I did the best I could to rest the yard stick on the leaf and get a decent picture. Look at the size of the leaf already. It is six weeks old now, and this is last year’s sage plant. Both years it has been watered with A.C.E. in the water. I call this the law of attraction in action...all my friends are amazed at my garden, and wonder why theirs never looks this great - I always let them try a little A.C.E. for themselves!

 

That vein stands out from the plant, and is nice and thick for the nutrient and water delivery...but the bugs can't penetrate them! They leave my plants alone, and go after the diseased ones in my neighbor’s yard (they still use Round-Up - not A.C.E. and water).

 

This is some control lettuce that I planted in untreated soil which had previously been treated with synthetic fertilizer and pesticides by previous occupants. Terrible for a six week old lettuce! This is what you get when you use chemical fertilizer and pesticides on plants...sickly thin lettuce...just like what you might find in your local market. How much salad could I eat if this represents the control crop (I would never eat this...I imagine even my worms would be sick eating this sorry mess!)

 

Great color, but too small for the time it has been in the ground. This never had anything done to it (no A.C.E. or any other nutrients. No wonder people in this area have one of the highest cancer rates!

 

This sunflower was treated with A.C.E. and is now 6 weeks old. Look at the size of the leaves already! At over 27 inches, and we are only into May now.

 

This sunflower also had A.C.E. and water used on it. It is the same age. The soil has never been improved prior to this year’s application of A.C.E. I am about to plant some more sunflowers using enriched soil with red worms, soon I will be able to compare them!

 

This is the control sunflower. It is less than half the size (12”), and they were planted the same day! Also notice how dull the surface of the leaves is compared to the A.C.E. treated plant.

 

After a month with very little rain and temperatures in the high 80's to low 90's, this plant seems to be getting a lot of holes in the leaves already. This has never been treated with A.C.E. mixed in water. It is about 10" shorter than the other ones which had been watered with A.C.E.

 

Untreated sunflower stem.

 

Treated sunflower stem. Both measured at same height from ground

 

Strawberry plant with A.C.E. added to water. One month old bare root strawberry planted in old nasty soil. Once soil is enhanced with compost and worms, these will grow very fast and tall.

 

Same age strawberry - untreated bare root.

 

The clay silt chemical soil is stressing the strawberry to the max. This strawberry start was previously grown in an enriched healthy organic garden. As a young healthy bare root strawberry plant it was then moved to this chemical soil. It is now struggling to survive.

 

The one which was dipped into the A.C.E. with water before being stuck in the ground is thriving and has now begun to create runners in the same exact soil.

 

These pictures are of unknown flowering plants from bulbs. One bulb was dipped in A.C.E. and then planted in sandy soil. I then watered with A.C.E. added to the water. These came up within 2 weeks.

 

3 small bulbs were dipped in water with A.C.E. added, and then watered down with a diluted solution. Here are the results after 2 weeks.

 

This is a 6" pot with 3 bulbs which were dipped in water with A.C.E. added. This is the growth after 2 weeks.

 

This is one bulb (you can see the top, I will be adding more soil) which was dipped in A.C.E. and watered with the solution after, then placed into this 4" pot. This is after 2 weeks also.

 

This is another 4" pot with one bulb dipped and then watered with the same solution of A.C.E. mixed with water.

 

Here is another 6" pot with 3 bulbs dipped into water with A.C.E. added, then watered with the same solution. It is in a sunnier spot in the gazebo. Same sandy soil from the farm, nothing additional done to the bad soil. No signs of any stress at all.

 

This is a small bird sanctuary with both feeding and bathing available for the over 35 types of birds found in North Carolina. I used old cider blocks, and turned them sideways, added the same bad soil, and dipped each bulb into the A.C.E. and water combination. This is after 4 weeks of hot weather followed by three days of rain. I used the hose on a mist spray to put only water on the plants. We had to remove and then replace the liner 3 times since it had a small leak. It is 4 mil plastic with 3 layers, then small river rocks were added so the birds have a place to stand after they bathe.

 

I planted gladiola bulbs, 2 types of water irises, parrot feathers, & 2 kinds of water filters and other flowering plants. All plants received water mixed with A.C.E., and they were then deep watered one time. They have been in the cement blocks approximately 2 weeks. I used two old banister rails I had scraped old paint from, then repainted them a soft watery blue-green color (I found them at another old building project). I cut both into unequal halves for different heights, and used Liquid Nails to secure a bird house I hand-painted (it was a white Victorian style, & this is going to be a tropical island styled garden with bright colors). The resin parrots I found on eBay. They were just the correct size to fit the top of each newly painted pillar. The bird feeder was made with an old piece of barn siding. I tacked wooden stir sticks to each side (you can crack them rather than cut them!) I painted the sides, and used galvanized screws to attach it. Next I added 2 parrots from a Dollar Store & glued them to the top.

 

In my front bed, I also planted a gladiola bulb that was dipped in A.C.E. water prior to planting. No additional A.C.E. treatment, since this plant is a one month old. It will be watered with A.C.E. added in two more weeks.

 

This is another area that is about to be completed with both sun loving and shade plants. The ferns were planted last year and had A.C.E. and water for several feedings. They are now about the size of the 55 gallon trash container. The mimosa tree is all that remains of a large one that fell into the creek. I will plant both banks this year using A.C.E. on everything before planting, and water each month surrounding the plants. The water has been slowed down by damming it while it is being completed, a job which may take several weeks itself. The entire area was filled with trash and everything was overgrown for at least the past 15 or more years. We could barely see the small weaving creek. Now it is looking like something you would want to wander along. This will be a nature trail when I am finished with it.

 

This is the small runoff from the Cape River spillway that runs between my yard and the highway. There is a small old run down bridge which I will need to replace soon, but it may last another year or two, who knows? :>)

 

The trees that were growing out of the sides of the banks had to be pruned back. Erosion was destroying the banks, so that has been almost completely repaired now.

 

This is the small outdoor cooking area on the south side of my house that I added in the last two years. The Trumpet vine and the Carolina Jasmine are gorgeous. They are two years old now. I have used A.C.E. every month each year in the summer on them, so they are huge bloomers now.

 

These Egyptian walking onions and the wild onions are now 6 weeks old, and are beginning to fill in nicely. They are about 20" tall now. I put A.C.E. and water on each bulb, then watered then with A.C.E. mixed with water and put them in the ground after first planting them in peat pots so they would have better nutrition from the start. This entire area against the house had about 50 sacks of organic soil dumped on it after I cleared it 2 years ago, so it is the only area besides a small part of the front yard which is actually totally organic at this time.

 

You can see my newest raised planter bed in the background. All the boards were removed from the old outbuilding which was falling down so there was no cost to build the deck at all, other than a box of galvanized screws ($25) and a lot of perspiration along with a twisted ankle!

 

This is the lawn I used A.C.E. mixed with water and sprayed for two years...it is beautiful now! In the background, you can see my compost area, which has 15 pounds of red worm castings and about another 300 live worms. In about 2 months time, I should have almost 5,000 worms to distribute, and one very nice pile of natural fertilizer for planting new areas in the soon to be nature walkway.

 

What a sad thing to see. These are the control radishes. Nothing was added to them. They were planted into peat, and then placed into the chemical damaged soil. These will be given to the worm beds, no one can safely eat any of this food. What if I did not know anything about gardening safely using A.C.E. and water? I would starve this fall. No one at a food bank would benefit a bit. Well, that will be turned around when I add the new compost and new A.C.E. watered plants. I wanted to show you why the land is so damaged visually. Now you can understand why so many people are ill! Literally, we are what we eat!

 

I will pull out some of the puny radishes to share with you today and take pictures of them. We had about a month of no rain and only about 3 days with any rain in the last 6 weeks or so. The heat took a toll on the young plants too. These radishes never fully matured. They were 28 day radishes. Sadly, these are about 6 weeks old now, and still not a decent radish to be had! No wonder there is a food shortage. Good thing these are test control seeds. I would never eat anything I grew here, but they serve the purpose of awareness for people who do not understand gardening with dangerous chemicals and how that links back to poor or ill health.

 

This is some broccoli that was damaged from being planted in chemically treated soil. The bugs love it. The problem is, most people do not plant a garden with the intention of feeding bugs rather than themselves! That broccoli is literally eaten away by the insects that came to feast on the sick plants.

 

None of these plants ever had any living food, so they will perish shortly (I will pull them and place them back on the compost pile. The A.C.E. and water combination I used to spray the composting pile will reverse the damage and the ending result will be safe organic casting with worm eggs in it, along with loads of fresh hardy healthy robust red worms for newly planned areas which I will be expanding.

 

Ah, the sad little jalapeño after 6 weeks in a soil with only water and those nasty old chemicals from previous farming practices of others...smile! It will take one season to change it back to the way God intended it for His people! Living water is the only answer!

 

These are the 4 day old A.C.E. watered seeds in their peat pots. They came bursting out of the beans seeds ready to meet life head on!

 

Look at the abundant root system they created in 4 short days! Can your natural soil amendments do this?

 

There is the life force in action! 4 days to abundant growth and health for the plant (and later for the "Consumers") Puts a whole new slant on natural food growing, doesn't it! Living waters make all the difference!

 

Now you can smile even more! I planted this bean seed 4 days ago (it is now May 22nd, 2010) Check that out would ya? Does your agricultural product do this? I bet that means more crops, faster, and larger! Not to mention the healthiest food to eat on the planet! The plants show they are filled with energy giving life, so when we consume them, they create a healed mind, body and spirit, not to mention an abundance of radiant health!

 

Look at that miracle in the making! 4 days old! and taller and healthier than anything else in the garden (one of the only seeds dipped in A.C.E. and water so far! Good thing I have loads of heirloom seeds!

 

One more terrific seedling popping up! Imagine yours at 4 days old reaching this height!

 

Here is that nasty chemical soil again! Hardly anything can grow it that. Forget what they have told you about how safe it is...look at this 6 week old yellow squash plant. And your food comes from chemicals? Ask yourself why you think you may have poor health now! That is a 2, not a 12 under the yardstick! 6 weeks for this? This squash plant did not get any A.C.E. Only one in eighteen squash plants survived.

 

Does your squash look like this one after 6 weeks? Well, try taking on an abandoned old homestead where they used careless practices and only dangerous chemicals for farming. Would you or could you now eat when you see the difference?

 

6 weeks old and this squash is still not even 4 inches tall. Would there be anything to eat at all this fall if I continued to recklessly do what others did before me?

 

In the A.C.E. section of my front bed, all kinds of small plants are popping up now! Even some lively critters! Don't worry, that turtle can't read!

 

How is that for vibrant Pretty In Pink Gladiolas? A.C.E. works miracles!

 

These Verbenia plants are slightly confused. They should know the packages say they don't bloom until July to mid August! :>) Wanna bet? With A.C.E., they bloom immediately, and all summer into the first solid freeze!

 

This is where those terrific A.C.E. and water dahlias are planted.

 

Guess I should take time soon and weed that onion patch...these are onions to cry for! About 20 inches in 6 weeks! Mmmm. Can't wait to see the Egyptians walking! (Meaning they are so heavy with onions which grow on the top of the soil, they bend over and appear to be walking as they lean into each other!

 

I choose to include Bib Lettuce in the control crop to show you how bad the soil in my area of North Carolina is. Let me guess. I bet yours is too! There seem to be careless farmers everywhere! Don't become one! Be the change you want to see! It all starts within us!

 

Hmm. Still have to move rocks! I should make a better effort to hide that black plastic liner.

 

These aquatic plants all have been dosed with A.C.E. and watered thoroughly! Everything is popping up, and it has only been a few weeks since I put the bulbs into the ground (except the water irises, and some of the pond filters, which I put in as bare root planting into organic soil with rocks covering the tops of the pots (it anchors them to the bottom)

 

I slipped some organic soil into the water so small roots have a place to land and grab onto as the plants enlarge this next couple of weeks, By early June, my garden should look like it has been here for a very long time.

 

Planter boxes are next, for all the grapes vines and wisteria! The wisteria (in the center of the picture) and grapes (to the right of the wisteria) have been under the soil for over a month now, and suddenly they are heading upwards!

 

This is going to be a very healthy fast growing wisteria and with two types of grapes in this corner of the gazebo, there will be abundant shade under the gazebo by mid to late summer! Yea for A.C.E.! Not bad for starter plants that were bare roots dipped in A.C.E. mixed with water!

 

Didn't I mention earlier the Verbinia plants are confused? They are so think and large, they are spilling over the sidewalk, and it is just May 22. What will they be like by August or September? You may have to check back to find out!

 

Jeepers, this sunflower is just a few weeks old. Look at that leaf already!

 

This one is looking pretty hardy too!

 

I don't know...are you still wondering if this works? Do you want to wait for the science or do you want to get healthy NOW! You decide (I did!) It is all up to you and I can't help you do it! There is an old saying" A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still!" I never bother, it only wastes my time! I have plenty of things to keep my interest up!

 

Those marigolds are going to have long beautiful flowers soon! If it weren't for acupuncture, I would still have that allergy I used to have before 1978! Good thing the Chinese still do many things the old fashioned way too!
