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? -- A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting. Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)? A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? |

No cluons were harmed when R M. Watkin wrote: The reason that people top post is because all the excess dross is not sniped. 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... Mark Edwards -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request |

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. I agree. I was surprised to read this in a respectable-looking book printed (English translation 1947) long before every kook could publish on the interweb or the usernet. -- You can drown in a bathtub with an inch of water in it, and you can easily write a completely unreadable and unmaintainable program in a language with no gotos or line numbers, with exception handling and generic types and garbage collection.

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. |
