Thalassa-mix, born from the life work of Dr. Maynard Murray, medical doctor, researcher and author of the book Sea Energy Agriculture. The gift of the sea (Thalassa ? the Greek name for the sea), combined with the groundbreaking and forward looking work of Rudolph Steiner and Viktor Schauberger. Steiner?s gift of the biodynamic Earth healing remedies and Schauberger?s insightful understanding of the energetic flow patterns of water have been combined to enhance a blend of pure, deep sea water and the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt. The result is a synergistic, biodynamically charged and enhanced sea mineral concentrate that supplies all naturally occurring elements (up to 92 of them) in a buffered ionic solution ready for plant uptake. Use Thalassa-mix to enhance soil biology, to balance mineral nutrients and to stimulate the soil?s energetic processes. Thalassa Mix is formulated with ingredients that come directly from nature? sea minerals, herbs and humus. Nothing has been chemically altered or synthesized. The solution is concentrated, charged and enhanced by our proprietary mixing processes. All that?s left to do is dilute and apply. Our experience has shown that a final dilution of 2000 parts per million total dissolved solids is the perfect concentration to feed most plants in most applications. To achieve this concentration, simply mix ¾ ounce (one and one-half tablespoons) in one gallon of water. Leafy greens and flowers prefer slightly less concentrations ? approximately 1200 to 1500 ppm. Fruiting crops and grasses can be fed multiple times at the 2000 ppm dilution and can actually take up to 3500 ppm in certain applications. Thalassa Mix may be used in all types of agricultural and horticultural applications. It is being successfully used as the sole nutrient mix in hydroponic growing systems and in sprouting as well. In conventional soil growing systems, Thalassa Mix may be used directly on the seed at planting as a soak, pop-up or lay-by. Thalassa Mix may be used as a root drench, foliar spray, sidedress and through irrigation systems. Soil characteristics are an important consideration when applying Thalassa Mix. Heavy, clay based soils will hold the minerals contained in the mix. Therefore, when applying directly to the soil, only one or two applications per season are recommended. Loamy or coarse soils subject to leaching can be fed multiple times throughout the season, up to weekly applications on heavy ? feeding crops. Field crops typically exhibit tremendous results from one to two applications per season. Fruits and vegetables can be fed multiple times taking into consideration soil characteristics and type of crop. Thalassa Mix performs superbly as the sole nutrient in hydroponic systems with multiple daily feedings. Thalassa-mix ingredients and what they do: Pure sea water ? perfectly balanced natural mineral solution containing up to 92 minerals, plus thousands of enzymes and aerobic bacteria. The minerals in sea water are in liquid crystalloid state, which pass easily through plant membranes. The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt ? 250 million year old sea mineral deposit from an ancient sea ? now buried in a mountain range in the Himalayas. This salt contains 84 minerals which are in balanced proportion and are complementary with pure sea water. This salt has been extensively studied for its therapeutic qualities and the findings have been described in detail in the book Water and Salt: The Essence Of Life. Humus ? from biodynamic [bd] preparation # 500 and barrel compost. The functions of humus are well understood ? the biodynamic versions are very powerful and aid in stimulating biological processes and healing the soil. Silica ? from biodynamic preparation # 501. Silica helps enhance the light metabolism of plants, aiding in the resistance to fungal dis-ease and chewing insects. The bd 501 also helps to encourage the growth of mycorrhizal fungus within the soil. Yarrow ? from biodynamic preparation # 502. Yarrow is a powerful healing herb and will help to restore damaged and exploited soil by enabling a deeper connection to the cosmic environment. It acts as a biocatalyst with a stimulating effect on plants? use of sulfur and potassium. Chamomile ? from biodynamic preparation # 503. Chamomile helps stabilize nitrogen and aids in balancing silica and potassium in the soil. As in humans, chamomile is ?soothing? and aids in the digestive properties of soil and compost. Stinging Nettle ? from biodynamic preparation #504. Nettles prevent nitrogen from evaporating and enhance vegetative growth of all plants, especially during dry weather. The nettles preparation brings ?intelligence? to the soil or compost, enabling plants to get what they need from their surrounding environment. Nettles tea is used as a flavor enhancer for crops. White Oak Bark ? from biodynamic preparation # 505. Extremely rich in calcium ? approximately 78%. This preparation aids in the prevention and healing of plant dis-ease via the watery element. Dandelion ? from biodynamic preparation #506. Dandelion regulates the relationship between silica and potassium in the plant. Dandelion preparation brings awareness to the plants environment and helps it?s dis-ease immunity. Valerian ? from biodynamic preparation # 507. Valerian assists plants in finding their right relation to phosphorus. Biodynamic valerian also brings in the catalyzing effects of warmth to the soil and plants. Equisetum arvense (Meadow Horsetail) ? from biodynamic preparation # 508. This tea is used to prevent fungal diseases through the mechanism of promoting the mycorrhizal fungus in the soil. This helps control the watery forces to prevent fungus. Clay mediates the cosmic influences from the soil [roots] upwards to the leaf, stem and fruit [the siliceous parts of the plant according to Steiner. Clay is the mediator between the Earthly lime [bd500] and the cosmic silica [bd501]. All of these ingredients come from nature and have not been synthesized or chemically altered, only energetically enhanced. Composts and herbal preparations are made according to Rudolph Steiner?s original discourses and enhanced through the wisdom of Schauberger. Pure sea water and The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt are blended together in a patented mixing device to form a super-saturate, which is seven times more concentrated than sea water. All the ingredients are then mixed in the patent-pending Vortex Brewer ?, to enliven, imprint and potentize the solution. Thalassa-mix is dedicated to the lives and work of Dr. Maynard Murray, Rudolph Steiner, and Viktor Schauberger. Special thanks and gratitude goes to Donald Jansen, who for over 20 years has kept Dr. Murray?s work on Sea Energy Agriculture alive. Thalassa-mix has been formulated by Stephen Storch of Natural Science Organics and Kevin Keune of Makes Scents, LLC. Both have been using the product since the spring of 2006 on their respective biodynamic farms with tremendous results. A portion of the proceeds from each sale of Thalassa Mix are being donated to the Sea Energy Agriculture Foundation. This 501©3 research organization is committed to furthering the research and knowledge of producing highly mineralized, nutrient dense food, using only resources that occur in nature. This research-based, educational organization will also be studying and publishing data of the effects on animal and human from eating this type of food.
