actually, i would hardly call this one "batshit crazy"
ron did some research with plants at st hill and produced 18 foot tall tomato plants and cucumbers the size of watermelons
this was back in the early sixties just after ron got to england and it got some attention in the scientific community. who, of course invalidated it saying it was done with large doses of fertilizer. which, of course, translates to "bull***t". he said he did it by talking to the plants and getting feedback from the plants with the e-meter. the scientists actually posed an experiment to disprove ron's statements. they divided a greenhouse in half and moved in a bunch of plants tended on one side by straightfaced scientists in white labcoats and on the other by little old ladies who talked to the plants. both groups received identical soil, planters, fertillizer, sunlight, water etc.
and the little old ladies plants went "whee!" and grew all over the place and on the other side the plants kind of moped...
"I don't know about that ^^^, I was not there" :wink2:
