Alex McLachlan is a long-time hay farmer, living in the semi-arid Similkameen
Valley of Southern British Columbia. Supplying water to his hay crop in
these dry conditions has always been a challenge. Alex has devised some
rather innovative techniques that have made his hay crop the most enviable
in the valley, proving that these ideas have definite merit. If you would
like more information regarding these innovations and how to practically
apply them to your own operation, contact Alex at the above address or
phone number.
Magnetite The experiments of James Lee Scribner, an electronic engineer
in Greenville, South Carolina, who worked thirty years in radio with electronic
bathing of seeds, have resulted in a rival to Jack's beanstalk. Scribner
wired an aluminum pot to an ordinary electric outlet. Spread between the
elctrodes was a wet metallic mix made up of millions of zinc and copper
particles, which, when dried, allowed electricity to filter between the
electrode strips. A butterbean planted in the pot grew to the amazing height
of twenty-two feet, though similar beans normally never exceed two feet.
At maturity, it produced two bushels of delicious beans.
Energized Water The reconstituted water is beneficial to the plants and soil in many ways. It penetrates the soil more readily. This increased absorption results in less evaporation. The electrons added to the water through the electrical process also help the plant in several ways:
Ideally, a one time treatment with an ammonium based fertilizer without root "burning" would be more cost effective than the extra labour and time involved in several applications. Proper use of zeolites help solve this problem. Zeolites are not only good water absorbers, but are also excellent for absorbing ammonia emissions from manure piles and other sources of decaying organic material. This not only reduces the nasty odours created by the rotting material, but the nitrogen absorbed by the zeolites has some useful agricultural applications. When nitrogen-charged zeolites are spread over a field, they do not quickly release the nitrogen into the soil. Instead, it is slowly released as the soil requires it. The plants get the nitrogen they require for optimum growth and there is no "burning" of the plants or root systems. There is also the added benefit of the water absorbing qualities of the zeolite to the soil as it quickly absorbs water from rain and irrigation, thereby reducing evaporation, and slowly releases it into the soil over time, thus reducing dry patches and plant stress due to an insufficient supply of water. |
