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

I wuv that show. Especially in Cleveland where it's on the lake AND the
roads. (Note: Cleveland drivers know how to drive on snow/ice just fine,
but do it assuming -you- do too, in cars held together with duct tape and
iPod wires, at 20mph over the speed limit. This causes wackiness qualitatively

Feh. Not any more they don't. Why, just this morning, in
fairly not-blizzarding conditions, with clear and clean roads,
the bozos-on-ice were going all of 35-40 mph. With rare
bursts to 45 mph. And coming home ? In a blizzard ? with
low visibility and slush and blowing snow and ice all over ?
and invisible lane lines ? They were doing 75 ! So maybe
yeah, we can drive on -ice-, just not plain old pavement.

Oh, you mean people who xpost ! I thought someone was trying

as to why a good portion of the readers would not be
interested, and those that might be certainly wouldn't want
the rest of the world (or at least that part reached by

Of course, you are also implying that no one on either group

religions, and that would be just wrong, as I, for one, might
hold an interest in both. And maybe at the same time.

Patience will be rewarded. 2006 was the hottest year
on record in the US, and the fifth hottest year in
the world on record (following only 1998, 2002, 2003
and 2005). The past 9 years have all been among the
25 warmest years on record for the continental US.
Every single year since 1993 has been in the top 20
warmest years on record, globally. Researchers predict
that temperatures worldwide will increase between 2
and 8 degrees by the end of the century.

So, my advice is to stay put and wait it out.

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.


You be wrong, per Channel 8 (Cleveland)(or was that the
Clveland Plain Dealer ?)(it were someone local, at least, and
news-ish). Huron is sending us wet gooey masses of snow. And
Lake Effect is just a term for "We aren't sure how much will
fall before it stops or where it will fall so we will make up
this here cute name for GO SOUTH OR FREEZE YOU IDIOTS"


HAW HAW, you get two lake effects, you looZ3rs! The loony ice
fishermen were herded off Erie yesterday; perhaps we could send 'em
out on Huron?! And lake effect snowstorms usually strike below Buffalo
and 30 miles north of me, so I'm just getting a good old-fashioned
snowfall.

Would you like me to send the St. Bernards west?

Why, are you feeling peckish?

Well, duh. The usenet has binary groups for a reason.

So you're sayin' there's only two newsgroups? I think you are badly
mistaken - I count at least THREE!

Um . . . d00d? Those aren't the lyrics to the theme song from
"Seinfeld," mostly on account of there aren't any lyrics to the theme
song from "Seinfeld."
