Adam,
Get a hold of a  book called Homemade Lightning,Creative
Experiments in Electricity, by R. A. Ford.  Flip over to chapter
eleven, Electrohorticulture.  Spraying charged water over plants.
Placing a charged grid over the garden.  Different minerals, in
the soil, and charge the  soil.  Medicine is using electricity to
reduce healing time of patients.  Could this also increase plant
growth?  Research on this has dropped off after 1929, but it
looked promising.  Battelle Institute has done extensive research
on high voltage in a human environment.  Check out Kirlian
Photography.  Please don't say it is a stupid idea until you try
it, and after the experiment you will know which area to work
towards and which area to stay away from.

When I started out with this Tesla group, I didn't know enough
about the subject to ask a question.  Now, I know enough to be
able to ask a thousand questions.  Does that make me smarter, or
thousand times dumber?

We hope your day is Sunny and Warm!!

Clara Marie and Encil
