| It may seem long but its a good read! A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP is a relationship in which two things mutually benefit each other. A symbiotic feature adds value of an equal amount for the cost or effort involved. For example, 1 + 1 = 2 is a symbiotic system. We obtain a 1 unit increase in output value for each unit of effort or cost applied. A SYNERGISTIC FEATURE is a feature which adds an output value greater then the cost or effort involved. For example, 1 + 1 = 2X (where X is greater than 1) is a synergistic system. We obtain more than 1 unit increase in output value for each unit of effort or cost applied. This brings up the questions -- "What are symbiotic and synergistic features of a gardening process, and how effective are they?" Some symbiotic or synergistic gardening systems have been identified and quantified in experiments conducted at the Foundation for the Betterment of Mankind. The subtle-energy features listed in the opening paragraphs of Chapter 5 summarizes and quantifies some of the subtle-energies which result in symbiotic and or synergistic increases in plant performance. It is interesting to note that combining symbiotic and/or synergistic features and techniques often results in even further synergy, and sometimes significantly so. It is apparent therefore that using and combining such approaches in a garden is desirable, at least up to a point of diminishing returns. This point can be determined by applying The Theorem of Synergy. Combinations of synergistic features and techniques are possible, but the benefits are not as cost effective if a plant's normal growth potential has been reached. A corn seed can support 13 roots and an overall sprout length of between 18.5 to 20 inches in six days if synergistic combinations are applied. Adding more combinations past that point will not be as cost effective. This forms the basis for the Theorem of Synergy. THEOREM OF SYNERGY WITHIN A GIVEN ENVIRONMENT, COMBINING SYNERGISTIC FEATURES AND TECHNIQUES ON PLANTS WILL RESULT IN FURTHER SYNERGY UNTIL THE GROWTH LIMITS OF THE PLANTS ARE APPROACHED. Thereafter, unless the environment is changed, further combinations of synergy will not be cost effective. This means that gardeners should choose the features and techniques that they wish to use and apply some or all until they feel that further plant response is not worth the cost or effort involved. If they still wish to increase plant performance past this point, they must consider either changing the environment, or the manner in which the plant responds to the environment. Thereafter, additional combinations can be cost effective. Changing The Way Plants Respond To The Environment Plants can only absorb a certain amount of nutrients through the root structure. Using synergistic designs and techniques mentioned previously, we can increase the development of the root structure significantly during the time that a plant normally uses its energy to develop roots, but past that point, the root can only function at its maximum efficiency. If too much fertilizer is applied to encourage further growth, it overloads or burns the roots. Further development, if the plant depends totally upon the roots for nourishment, is limited no matter how many synergistic combinations are applied. The reason Dan Carlson developed Sonic Bloom music was to stimulate leaf stomata in the hopes that foliar feeding could be used to supplement root absorption of plant nutrients. Sand for instance, can't normally support large crops, as fertilizer is lost rapidly through its loose structure. Supplementing solid and liquid fertilizer applications with foliar spray offers an excellent alternative means for providing nourishment to plants. Mr. Carlson used Sonic Bloom music to vibrate leaf stomata while plants were sprayed with a seaweed based foliar spray. Seaweed-based spray has over 50 trace elements, plant nutrients, hormones, vitamins, growth regulators and chelators which are absorbed by the leaf stomata. His plants did astonishingly well. One plant, that normally grows 18 inches, grew 1/10th of a mile when sprayed with seaweed fertilizer to Sonic Bloom melodies. One wonders if Sonic Bloom and foliar seaweed spray can do that with an 18-inch plant, what will Schubert's 8th+ and seaweed based foliar spray do for vining crops like indeterminate squash, which normally grow 18 feet or longer? The subtle- energies of sound and music, if used as a catalyst to increase nutrient uptake, offer an excellent technique for use in a Volks Garten. Therefore, Schubert's 8th+ or similar music should be considered as a low cost catalyst for the absorption of nutrients, trace elements, hormones, growth regulators, and chelators by plants sprayed with seaweed foliar spray.

| Carlson spent many hours in the University of Minnesota library, studying plant physiology. Struck by the idea that certain sound frequencies might help a plant breathe better and absorb more nutrients, he experimented with various frequencies until, with the help of an audio engineer, he found one range that was consonant with the early morning bird chirping that helps plants open wider their stomata, or mouth-like pores. On every leaf there are thousands of such small openings. Each stoma--less that 1/1000 of inch across--allows oxygen and water to pass out of the leaf, or transpire, while other gases, notably carbon dioxide, move in to be transformed by photosynthesis into sugars. During dry conditions, the stomata close to prevent a wilting plant from drying out completely. Photomicrographs show plant stomata opening wider to Carlson's frequencies, while a Philips 505 Scanning Electron Microscope shows substantially higher stomata density on a leaf treated with Sonic Bloom; additionally, the individual stomata are more developed and better defined. As stomata normally imbibe the morning dew, sucking up nutrients in the form of free flowing trace elements, why not, thought Carlson, develop a special organic spray to apply to the leaves along with the sound that induces stomata to open. Even in poor soil, Carlson reasoned, plants could be well nourished with a foliar spray containing the right combination of elements. To develop such an effective nutrient solution took Carlson 15 years of trial and error, experimenting in labs throughout the country, funded by a caring "angel." Carlson needed to find not only what elements serve to make a plant flourish; he needed to find their proper balance. Just the right amount of Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus is needed, but not the overdose recommended by the chemical companies that swamp the plant to the exclusion of trace elements vital to its health. Too much of any one element can distort or even kill a plant. To find the proper balance required endless testing with radioactive isotopes and Geiger counters to trace the elements' translocation from leaves to stems to peak to roots. Among the first natural substances used was Gibberilic acid, naturally derived from rice roots, needed by every living plant. Eventually Carlson included sixty-four trace elements derived from natural plant products and from seaweed; he also added chelated amino-acids and growth stimulants, altering the surface tension of the water base to make it more easily absorbed.
