Potassium in the vicinity of potatoes.
 

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?

Hi All,

The reason that people top post is because all the excess dross is not
sniped. This means you have to wade through the whole post to get to the
point. Hope this helps you.

This is simply not true. Some of us always snipe at the excess dross.
Others, like me, snipe at dross even when it is not in excess. Many people
snipe simply to be sniping. I don't know how many snipers actually own the
requisite sniper rifles, so I won't hazard a guess, but there are probably
enough to trim down the number of top posters and dross posters.

This means you have to wade through the whole
post to get to the point. Hope this helps you.

What if the whole post only comes up to your ankles? Is this still wading?
Or does the post have to come up to your waist to be considered as wading?
What if the post is so noxious as to dissolve reinforced concrete - does
top posting matter if you refuse to wade in at all?

As for help, I would hope someone would throw me a line and pull me out
if I waded in too deeply and found myself unable to make my way back to the
firm solidity of Terra Usenetta. If that person used the line to drag me
under, however, it might be funny, but would not be very helpful...

This is unadulterated crap! If you can truly PROVE that potassium nitrate in
a hermetically sealed glass tube leaning against a potato plant stem
increases the potassium content of the potatoes, while an empty tube of the
same nature does not, you would be a shoo-in for a Nobel prize in chemistry!
Moreover, explaining how that works would put you alongside Lavoisier as one
of the most famous chemists of all time.

This does not happen when posters follow net etiquette.

Not really! What would really help is a psychiatric study identifying
the various other social disfunctionalities associated with people who
top-post to newsgroups.

Compared to the nuclear weapon development in Iran, top posting is pretty
minor.

Anybody other than the good Doctroid posting from

Up until last week, but the meteorologists say Lake Erie is *finally*
iced over, so no more lake effect storms here! Lake Ontario is the
culprit over Oswego County.

What armaments have you been using to shoot at this dross?

I must admit it does seem close to impossible, but then I am not chemist.

Uh, tough winter, huh?
I mean, I enjoy a good donnybrook as well as the next person but maybe
we could just snip the "diss" out of disfunctional, pull up our socks,
and get on with the gardening.

If not, I go and get a Guinness and wait for you to come back to your
senses.
