Caleb Warnock’s NEW, IMPROVED Guaranteed Edible Weed Killer

available from SeedRenaissance.com 

This new recipe replaces the old recipe because it is much faster, cheaper, easier both to make and to apply, and guaranteed to kill ANY weed. If you purchased the old recipe, you can get the new, improved recipe for free by emailing calebwarnock@yahoo.com with the words “I bought the old recipe” in the subject line of your email. If you request this free copy, you are on your honor that you have purchased the original. If you want the weedkiller recipe and have not purchased it before, please go to SeedRenaissance.com.

The Story Of This Recipe

After six years of work, thousands of dollars, hundreds of experiments, and hundreds of hours of testing, I am pleased to announce that I have formulated an entirely edible backyard weedkiller that is guaranteed to kill all backyard weeds -- including the roots -- in one application when applied as directed.

You need only to purchase the recipe once to use it for your lifetime. You can purchase it only at SeedRenaissance.com. My belief is that this recipe has the potential to change the world because with this recipe, I cannot see any reason to use any chemical weedkiller.

My weedkiller:

- Is entirely edible. The recipe doubles as a super-healthy salad dressing, which is how I would suggest you eat it.

- Is THE CHEAPEST weed killer on earth because you only pay for the recipe once ($29) and you get to use it for the rest of your life. If you have been using store-bought weed killers, you will save thousands of dollars by switching to my guaranteed recipe!

- The recipe kills ALL WEEDS in one application when applied as directed. No need to email me to ask about a certain weed. The answer is yes, this recipe will kill your weed.

- My recipe is guaranteed safe for pets, bees and insects so long as you don’t apply it directly on them.

- My recipe is safe and even beneficial for garden soil.

- This recipe is safe for use around children, and safe for the person applying the weedkiller (except that you could hurt your eyes if you got it directly in your eyes. Do not get the formula in your eyes. If you have an open cut or wound, the recipe will sting you if you get the weed killer in the wound.)

- Where I live, the ingredients, when purchased at a grocery store, cost about $3 per gallon to make at home.

- My recipe is all natural and can be 100 percent organic, depending on the quality of ingredients you choose. It is possible to grow or make at home every single ingredient in this recipe.

- Like all commercial weedkillers, my recipe works best when weeds are young. It will kill weeds of any age, but it will take more time, effort, and a larger amount of the formula to kill older, larger weeds. I strongly suggest you begin applying this weedkiller recipe as soon as weeds begin to appear in March, April, and May. It is much easier and faster to kill small weeds than to take the time to eradicate mature weeds.

- The weedkiller takes less than five minutes to make. You will need a blender.

- To apply the weedkiller, you will need one of two inexpensive tools, costing about $5. You will be able to use these tools over and over again, and you likely already have these tools.

- My weedkiller recipe will also kill vegetables, flowers and shrubs if applied directly on them. Apply only to plants you wish to kill. This weedkiller will also kill insects if applied directly on them. This recipe may kill trees and berry bushes. I haven’t tried it on trees.

My recipe is guaranteed to work with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Money back must be requested within 30 days of purchase date via email to calebwarnock@yahoo.com. Money-back requests made after 30 days will be denied.

This recipe is available for purchase only at SeedRenaissance.com.

By purchasing this recipe, you have agreed to the following:

“By purchasing this recipe, I hereby agree never to publish or make public the recipe for Caleb Warnock’s Guaranteed Edible Weed Killer in any way, by any medium including but not limited to verbally sharing the recipe or distributing the recipe via electronic and/or print media, including to family and friends who do not live in my immediate household. I agree to the above stated terms even if I request and receive my money back, or even if I request but do not receive my money back. I agree that, should I request and receive my money back, I will never again use the recipe, nor publish it or make it public in any form.”

Five secrets for gardening success in Utah: Gardening in Utah’s dry air, alkaline water, high altitude, and clay soil is not like gardening most other places. Caleb will teach you five things you are doing wrong that will massively improve your success while saving you big time and money.

Best vegetable varieties for Utah, and why: Probably no one on earth has tested as many vegetable varieties as Caleb. Find out which beans, melons, peas, potatoes, onions, lettuces and more work best here and why. All heirloom, of course.

Raised Bed Gardening Success: So many people waste huge amounts of money building raised beds the wrong way, only to find themselves frustrated because they are using principles that work on the East Coast and not in the West. Come learn how to make your raised beds pay you, instead of you spending huge money for small outcomes.

Container gardening: Whether looking to grow flowers, kitchen herbs, or tomatoes in containers, there are a few critical things you need to know for best success in Utah’s low humidity, high-altitude climate.

Seed starting without spending a dime: Traditionally, seed starting was done to save money and allow the gardener to grow the best varieties for their microclimate without having to rely on the store, but today seed-starting can be expensive and time consuming. This is a much simpler, fool-proof way.

Growing and using Stevia: Stevia is a small herb plant that is simple to grow in Utah indoors or outside. Stevia is Mother Nature’s sweetener and can help you dramatically slash the amount of sugar you are using at home without giving up flavor. Learn how to grow, prepare, and cook with stevia.

Best Tomatoes for Utah: If you are looking for fresh eating, preserving, saucing, color, salad tomatoes, seed-saving, or showing off your huge prizewinners, Caleb has your answers, tailored to Utah.

Organic garden soil fertility: Probably the biggest single mistake families are making in their gardens today is soil fertility. A few tweaks to your garden routine will yield long-lasting results.

Easy homemade organic garden fertilizer at no cost: Caleb has not purchased fertilizer for his garden in many, many years, and he will put his garden output up against anyone’s. The secret is making homemade fertilizer at absolutely no cost, and learning when and how to use it.

Our food supply MUST remain in the public domain: Caleb explains the importance of vegetable seed that is heirloom, never hybrid, never genetically modified, never patented or corporately owned, and what is happening to our food supply that should have every family taking a second look at the seeds they use.

Questions and Answers with Caleb: Organic gardening, backyard eggs, stevia, seeds, backyard wheat, emergency preparedness,self-reliance -- whatever your questions, Caleb will answer from experience.

Backyard Discretion: A Primer

Below is a guest post from my writer friend Maleah Warner which I wanted to share here because I loved it. I also wanted to share it here because someone recently told me they won't share my blogposts because I occasionally talk about religion on my blog, not just self-reliance. That comment made me want to share more things about religion, not less. If you don't see God in the backyard, what's the point of trying for a backyard renaissance? So without further ado, here is a beautiful and smart contribution to our renaissance from Maleah:

Lately, I've been thinking about praying for discretion.

I already pray for Wisdom.

I've done this for years, because although I can be slow to figure some things out, it didn't take me too long to realize that I am pretty stupid on my own.

I also pray for Faith and for Charity. By myself, I'm not so good at either one of those. So I'm a bit hesitant to add more to the already lengthy list of attributes I need to develop, but this prayer thing really works. 

You can pray for anything. I pray to find the video camera memory card because I need to record the 5th grade play in one hour. I pray to be a better visiting teacher. When I'm not in the mood to pray, I pray, "Please help me to  want to pray."

Let's face it, the monotony of life gets heavy and sometimes I want to throw in the whole load of towels.

Most days I just pray, "Please help me want to do the laundry."

And it works, it really does.

For example, several years ago I decided that I took life way too seriously and that I needed to develop a sense of humor, so I started praying for  humor. Then (like most things) I forgot about it, until a year or so later I came across a page in my journal where I had written: Things to pray for: *Humor

And I realized that I am funnier that I used to be. I promise. I am.

So about this discretion thing…

In a church lesson about honesty, a lady asked, "If my friend asks me if her hair looks bad, and it does, do I tell her the truth?"

Another lady said, you can be honest and discrete. You can use good judgment in your honesty."

So I got to thinking about Discretion and all its synonyms: Care, Consideration, Deliberateness, Diplomacy, Foresight, Good Sense, Good Judgment, Gumption, Maturity, Presence of Mind, Prudence, Thoughtfulness, Tact, and Wisdom.  

If one word can include all that, then I think there is room on my prayer list for one more word.

“[I was left with] a riddle I haven’t solved, of how we judge those who have hurt us when they have shown no remorse or even understanding.” – A Thousand Acres, by Jane Smiley

In 1987, just after starting high school, I was riding in a truck with my father on our family farm. I did not know the next ten minutes would change the course of my life.

Days before, my father had suggested I join the high school debate club. I had never heard of a debate club. My father struggled to even explain, but made it clear this was one of my spiritual gifts. It was a short, powerful conversation. Yet, at school, I learned there was no debate club. Deflated, I reported this to my father. His answer:

“Then start one.”

I had little faith in this answer. Yet, with my father’s encouragement, I did it. Over the next four years, I went on to become a three-time state champion, with a wheelbarrow of awards. I spent hundreds of hours studying philosophy, rhetoric, intellectual approaches, and the complexities of discerning and explaining truth. We were thrown difficult questions, and worthy opponents. It was a crucible that molded me.  

Today, I am a writer, teacher, journalist, and owner of SeedRenaissance.com solely because my father taught me that I had the ability to think, and the freedom to build something from nothing.

It has been the most monumental gift. It cannot be overstated.

Today is my 41st birthday. A day for thinking about how to create a better me. So I face Jane Smiley’s riddle, how to “judge those who have hurt us when they have shown no remorse or even understanding.”

I want to be present yet kind, safe yet full of truth. But there is a gap -- as I judge those who have hurt me, what about the judgement of those whom I have hurt?

Change is the only coin you can spend in the next life. Hurt is catalyst for change. In my life, meaningful change often begins in no other way. Without the hurt, who would I be?

I am guided by Maya Angelou: “I am totally present. And sometimes to be there is to be difficult – not just to be there to submit. At some point to be there is to say ‘No, not me. Include me out. I’m totally here. Not. No.”

And this warning from 2 Nephi 7:11: “Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand—ye shall lie down in sorrow.”

Between those quotes is where I live. I struggle to discern how to judge, how to honor, how to show gratitude -- and how to be safe. Perhaps only people who have been grievously hurt, and hurt again, can understand how hard it is to pick up and walk forward, knowing you can never feel safe.

I have also hurt people, I have also made people feel unsafe. I need forgiveness, and distance. Does gratitude count when it is shown from a safe distance? Does forgiveness? Does keeping your distance mean you are cradling the hurt?

In this new year, I want to be the person who faces the hard questions. The person who can say both “include me out” and “thank you.” The person who is grateful for the crucible, and safe.

Storing seeds in case of Zompocalypse

Over Christmas, my seed company, SeedRenaissance.com, offered a spectacular deal to email newsletter subscribers of $140-worth of seeds for $39. Some of those who purchased this seed bundle wanted them not for gardening, but for what I like to call the zombie apocalypse -- a hedge in case the day comes where growing your own food is a necessity, not a hobby.

Naturally, I got some email and Facebook questions about how to best store seeds if you don’t plan to let your seeds see the dirt any time soon. Here is what you need to know:

1. Buy true seed, not hybrid seed. Hybrid seeds make up the vast majority of seeds available today. Hybrids are not natural, and are self-suiciding by design. Hybrids were invented to force people to pay for seed year after year, instead of growing their own seeds, as families had done for thousands of years. In event of Zompocalypse, you will need true seed, not hybrids.

2. Hybrids are often hidden. If you go to your local hardware store or most online seed companies, some hybrids are marked, some are revealed by special codes (such as F1) but most are not marked at all. The whole reason I started SeedRenaissance.com was to provide a place where people could get true seed, guaranteed. We never sell hybrids, and we never sell genetically modified seeds (no GMO!)

3. Parsnip and onion seeds don’t store at all. These two vegetables in particular have a very short seed life of basically a single year. So don’t bother to store these seeds.

4. Never store seeds in a can. Long-term exposure to oxygen corrodes seeds and slowly destroys them. Seeds stored in cans will be exposed to oxygen -- even if they have been packed in carbon dioxide gas, which some have. Those cans corrode and even a tiny leak can let in air.

5. For long-term storage, freezing is your best bet. Triple seal your seeds in freezer-grade plastic or foil bags, removing as much air as possible. To remove air, use the Archimedes Principle, or a vacuum sealer. The Archimedes Principle is simple -- put the seeds in a bag, and then lower the bag into water, almost to the top of the bag. The water will push out the air, and you seal the zip. Be careful not to get any water in the bag. Make sure your bags are triple sealed -- a bag inside a second bag, inside a third bag, with the air removed from each bag.

6. Fluctuating temperature is a seed’s worst enemy. If you plan to use your seed within three years, you should not freeze them. Instead, put them in a dark, dry, relatively cool drawer in your home and leave them alone. If you don’t plan to use them within three years, store them in the freezer. But if you take seeds out of the freezer, it is best to leave them out. Repeated temperature changes will damage seed quickly.

7. I strongly recommend that you store ten times more seed than you think you will need to feed your family for two years. There are few if any families in the U.S. which have more experience in year-round self-sufficient gardening than our family, so I can tell you from experience, it will take more seed than you think to feed yourself in an emergency. Especially if you are not an experienced gardener.

8. Finally, I suggest you consider ignoring all the advice I have given you. Instead of storing seeds, grow them. Choose open-pollinated (true seeds) also called heirloom seeds, and grow them. For health reasons, for financial reasons, and most importantly, to teach your children and your neighbors how to grow a garden. Do it now. Don’t wait. And grow a self-planting garden, which are seeds that replant themselves year after year. You can read all about self-planting gardens in my book More Forgotten Skills. You can find links to this book at CalebWarnock.blogspot.com. You will also find the nation’s best supply of self-planting seeds at SeedRenaissance.com. -Caleb
