in the book square foot gardening answers by Mel Bartholomew page 119 he suggests

buttermilk-spray (page 123)

salt-spray (page 128)

or garlic-spray (page 129) for predatory mites for heavy infestation

buttermilk-spray

1/2 cup of flour

2-1/2 gallons of water

and 1/2 cup of buttermilk

you may need to apply 2 or 3 times

salt-spray

1/2 cup of epsom-salt

1 gallon of warm water

also works on cabbage-worms

garlic-spray

chop up a large head of garlic and soak then with 1 tablespoon of cayenne-pepper in about 1 quart warm water strain and fill a spray bottle the water mixed with a few drops of organic dishwashing-liquid

spray your plants liberally

you’ll need to spray again every couple of days and for a week after all insects disappear

thus spray repel slugs cutworms whiteflies aphids and many other insects

i have not had to test these out myself thus good-luck and let us know what you find works best for you and your area

do you know what “Calvary” means…??

Calvary

name of the mount of the Crucifixion, late 14c., from Latin calvaria “skull,” rendering Greek Kraniou topos, translating Aramaic gulgulta “place of the skull” (see Golgotha). Old English used Heafodpannan stow as a loan-translation. Latin Calvaria is related to calvus “bald” (see Calvin).

you can thank me later

for avoidance of doubt

i assure you there be no cavalry on my side

for those that reply to this thread, they reply for themselves and not for me

[gods-child]

“You do know this is in response to the one calling themself “Mr.Sunshine?””

on the contrary

did you mean @MrSunShine without the full-stop or period in their chosen name

if you did then yes i am well aware yet as you @Woodsman did not mention by name anyone else in their post about calling the calvary and as i was replying to other posts at the same time as you then it be apt i set the record straight

well said brother

as we both know that only our true almighty creator is the one and only judge

and all of us will be judged come judgement day where there are only two judgements to be made, either come on in as the pearly gates open or go away and be sent to hell with pits of fire and brimstone if i interpret correctly

[gods-child]

very true

it is not for us to judge as it is only our true almighty creator father mother who can judge come judgement day

to which i mentioned about judgement of any kind in my opening post and subsequent post within this thread

[gods-child]

herein our true almighty creator father mother can see and read your reply or lack thereof

may our true almighty creator give you the strength wisdom and courage to answer without judgement of any kind

can you please clarify the meanings “Alpha” and “Omega” that you refer to

as there is no mention prior to c1300 and c1400 respectively etymology speaking and from 1520.s in Revelation

thus this causes more confusion

alpha (n.)

c. 1300, from Latin alpha, from Greek alpha, from Hebrew or Phoenician aleph (see aleph). The Greeks added -a because Greek words cannot end in most consonants.

The sense of “beginning” of anything is from late 14c., and in this it is often paired with omega (the last letter in the Greek alphabet, representing “the end”). The sense of “first in a sequence” is from 1620s. In astronomy, the designation of the brightest star of each constellation (the use of Greek letters in star names began with Bayer’s atlas in 1603). Alpha male was in use by c. 1960 among scientists studying animals; applied to humans in society from c. 1992.

omega (n.)

final letter of the Greek alphabet, c. 1400, from Medieval Greek omega, from classical Greek o mega “big ‘o’ ” (in contrast to o micron “little ‘o’ “); so called because the vowel was long in ancient Greek. From o + megas “great, large, vast, big, high, tall; mighty, important” (from PIE root *meg- “great”). Used figuratively for “the last, the final” of anything (as in Revelation i.8) from 1520s.

thank you kindly

i really appreciate your no-nonsense answers which is refreshing to see and read

“answer me this. Who’s faith was truly being tested? Jobs faith in God or God’s faith in man? But Job didn’t break. God didn’t break. Satan did.”

looks like you already answered this ahead of time 😉😉

“I am going to accept your post as an honest search for Truth.”

thank you as all i need to know is the truth as only the truth will set us free

as for all that you could answer thank you

i may have to re-read several times to try and comprehend the all though

as for your phrases like “This is not the point. See above.” and “Irrelevant. Modern-day English vernacular. This is not the point.” and “Irrelevant. Modern-day English vernacular.2 and “No clue. Don’t care what Coke does or designs. It isn’t relevant to my Faith in God.” and “Don’t care what Coke has. It isn’t relevant to my walk with God.” and “English. Look up homophones, homographs and homonyms in Webster’s dictionary.”

could you please elaborate further on these points for of further confusion

“There aren’t. All the books God intended to be Canonized are there. Some would argue that certain extra-biblical texts should have been included. Others disagree. (Rev 22:18–19)”

are you 100% sure that some books were not removed from the bible…??

look into canon-law it is eye-watering to say the least

again as for words of phrases like “The chalice?” Probably need to ask a Catholic.” “Ask someone who worships in that way. Perhaps a Catholic?”

could you also please elaborate on these as well to avoid further confusion whereby

the holy chalice also known in as the holy grail is mentioned in the bible at least twice then why do i need to go specifically to the catholic faith that has been called a criminal organisation as of around 2013 and now the [FBI] are after “Violent extremists’ allegedly interested in ‘radical-traditionalist Catholic’ ideology“…?? see https://geopolitics.co/2013/07/22/vatican-inc-a-transnational-criminal-organization/ and https://www.foxnews.com/media/purported-fbi-document-suggests-agency-targeting-catholics-attend-latin-mass

“My other questions have absolute relevance.”

please clarify for avoidance of doubt why those questions are relevant

“But as you have made it clear that you are not interested in seeing the truth and simply are asking for me to tell you what you want to hear, which is asking me to commit a logical fallacy, which I simply can not do- I will not be able to entertain your further.”

please screenshot and provide the evidence for your claim whereby i allegedly made it clear in this whole thread that i allegedly are not seeking the truth

“And NO- the church is NOT meant for all religious beliefs. It is for the true believers in Christ only and we are called to expose and expel those who sneak in among us. Good bye.”

is [The Church] of man or of our true-almighty-creator father mother…??

if [The Church] is of man then that would be correct

if [The Church] is of our true-all-mighty-creator father mother then you would be mistaken as our true-almighty-creator father mother accepts all who seek the truth

as for this cancel-cult-ure that is your prerogative and your free-will

that said would our true-all-mighty-creator father mother cancel us who seek the truth…??

is it not said in scripture that our true-all-mighty-creator never judges and accepts all who seek the truth…??

if you think you have hurt my feelings then think again as it hath non bearing on my feelings at all

“You misunderstood/assumed incorrectly what I mean by c&p… i meant that I would c&p *your questions* to be able to answer clearly for formatting purposes.”

then you clearly see the ambiguous nature of words and phrases which add to the confusion thereof

“The Bible IS the truth. If you don’t want that you don’t want truth.”

which version of the bible is “the truth”…??

as i need the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth doth-suffice no-matter how hard a pill it may be to swallow for some

[gods-child]

“First of all, I’m sorry for some of the hateful responses you’ve gotten here.”

thank you kindly, i guess our true almighty creator father mother will decide what to do with their authors come judgement day

“Secondly, I’ve heard a lot of these questions before and can assure you that there are reasonable, logical, and biblical answers for all of them. But it will be easier for me to answer your questions when I’m on a desktop and can c&p, as the app won’t let me in this app. Until then,”

i am seeking true answers from those that know the truth and not from some biblical answer

i take “c&p” to mean copy-and-paste answers from some-other-place-entity rather than from you own comprehension of the babel in the bible known in modern times as ambiguous language or in other words “spaketh in tongues”

“I have questions for you for clarity sake:

1). Are you atheist or agnostic or hold another philosophy or religion other than Christianity?”

does the church judge by whether man is religious or not given that there are many religions and non religions and our true almighty-creator accepts all who come to them with non judgement of any-kind…??

thereby whether or not someone is religious or not maketh no relevance here in church

“2). Why do you use little g for “gods-child”?”

this has no relevance to questions being or not being answered and is personal and non spiritual or pertinent to answers being sought from [The Church]

“3). Do you genuinely want our answers, or are you posting here simple to try to dissuade Christians? The church is for Christs body and those who are truly seeking Him. The church IS the gathering of His body.”

does the title of this thread in a forum called [The Church] not be crystal-clear of intent to clear-up-confusion and to use your words “for clarity sake”…??

is the church not a place to seek answers to the ambiguous meaning of the word in the bible due to mans many translations which are al copyrighted by man and who are to say those translations are true or not true after-all we do know that satan is the greatest deceiver of all

are you saying that our true almighty creator does not accept any-one that is non-christian…??

or

that only christians are dissuaded by questions being sought to clear-up-confusion…??

from all replies bar two thus far i would turn away from [The Church] never to look back towards [The Church]

p.s

for avoidance of confusion i take “clarity” to mean

clarity (n.)

c. 1300, clarte, clerte “brightness, radiance; glory, splendor,”

does this also work for other critters…??
