Re: Chemistry of Plant Life

You all are so exciting. What a wonderful way to start the day. I never dreamed my efforts to garden would be so fun. You all have really added to the delight of the experience.

Okay I put my trays of plants in the bathroom and turned the heat lamp on.

I can't tell you what I am growing, because what is suppose to be broccoli looks nothing like broccoli. It looks my like a punny vine plant, perhaps the long purple eggplant? I must have confused my plants, when I put the seed packages with the plants, or the potting soil I bought, came with its own seeds. Whatever it is, it is growing fast, and appears to be reaching for something to climb on. My thymus and tomato needs to be transplant ASSP. I think the other thing growing is basil. But I can't find my broccoli. I think it must be the broccoli in the pots that have just a couple of tiny sprouts starting to peek out of the soil.

Why vodka instead of beer? It is easy to get beer in Oregon, but for vodka, I have to find a liguior store and that is inconvenient.

Easy, I had read the plants and animals have simiilar life functions, but my last thread got out to hand, and I am wanting to keep this one as simple as possible. that isn't looking so easy. But my gosh is this exciting!

The plants want oxygen, right? Well I have plenty of worms and will gladly give them leaves. Looks like the worms want plenty of water. I can't imagine them living in the brick hard clay. I am praying for rain, because our week of sun has dried out the soil so much, I can't work it. Look at this! I must not only have the right ingredients, but enough water for worms to move. I never thought of this before. And how about my microbes? Do they need plenty of water?

I wish I had more money. My truck load of good soil isn't going very far. I need sand desparately. Now I am really worried about my worms and microbes.

Oxygen, hyrodrogen, nitrogen How about a video I can plug into my VCR, showing the action of the atoms doing their thing? There is so much to think about. Life on the atom level, chemical level, interaction of worms, microbes and plant level. A video of all this would be so nice.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
