In the Royal Horticultural Society garden at Wisley, MP3 players
connected to the roots of tomato plants are playing A Midsummer's Nights
Dream, a reading of The Day of the Triffids, or nothing at all. One
experiment has already proved that rice plants responded well to
classical music, and some of the gardeners at Wisley are already
convinced that their plants do better when coaxed. A professor of
acoustics is convinced that low frequency sounds will produce the best
results as the vibrations stimulate growth.
I'm planning a Barry White spring for my broad beans.

When we lived in a flat I cant' say I noticed our house plants growing
better when in the flat above lived a lover of Church organ music who had
his big hi-fi speakers on the floor and played it loud into the night!

Oh dear That sounds hellish. Having classical music in the greenhouse
sounds lovely though.

I wonder if tomatoes count as 'customers' so one would need a licence from
the PRS. ;-))

I presume you are recalling the recent news story when it said that the PRS had been demanding licence fees from owners of kennels if they had the radio on.

And even more outrageously the garage owner who was told he had to have a
licence because his customers drove in with radios playing!

It took a while for me to get through to them that we have nature's silence
here, not music or muzak and that we all prefer to listen to birdsong than
popsong!
