E Pfeiffer, _Soil fertility, renewal & preservation: bio-dynamic
farming and gardening_:

Brehmer reports that potassium in the vicinity of potatoes ---
separated by an air space from the containers in which the plants
are growing --- was able to increase the growth and the potassium
content of the potatoes. Stoklasa shows that potassium (in sealed
test-tubes hung over growing plants) alters the rate of growth of
the plants. We should like to add that we have been able to make
this experiment, the validity of which we are able to confirm by
having obtained corresponding results. Ried shows that the
presence of potassium and other salts in the vicinity of animals
can have a far-reaching influence on their growth and above all on
their reproduction. And there are numberless experiments which
demonstrate the influence of irradiated and non-irradiated metals,
in their effects at a distance upon the development of bacteria
cultures.

Has anyone tried this recently?

Actually, it wasn't potassium. It was plutonium. And it wasn't
PU239. It was Archimedes Plutonium.
What really happened (upon careful reanalysis) was that Archie was
eating all the bugs. No wonder the plants were flourishing. Plus the
occasional 'accident' added excellent (if somewhat unsanitary)
fertilizer to the area. But we're all wondering now, how the heck can
we get him out of Idaho and back to Darmouth. The dishes are piling
up back there, anyway.

But where were the Paper Tiger and Scissors Lizard when this happened?

Archie Pu had already gotten Paper Tiger to chase him around the
little shrublets until Paper Tiger churned himself into butter! which
Archie Pu spread on Scissors Lizard before eating him all up!

Maybe the copy I looked at was a bad translation. Thanks for
clarifying that.
