Bob, I don't know the reason or reasons why our soil life tea affords plants the frost resistance we are seeing. It might even be something produced by the...
Has there been a recognized synonymity between the size of the plant, and its brix level? Have giant vegetables been shown to have higher brix levels? Darren...
Darren, The "Giant Plants" are often that size because of a selection process involving saving seeds from the largest plants and planting those seeds and...
Are heirloom crops, traditionally chosen for their performance (taste, aroma, color, etc...), more likely to brix higher than non-heirlooms on the same soil, ...
Sylvia and Richard, Goji berries are supposed to contain 6 glyconutrients. And the juice can be used as a plant food, at 2tsp-1tbsp p/gal, drench, or foliar. ...
Darren, I think your inheritance assumption just doesn't stand up to the data that's out there. The brix scale for tomatoes is poor, average, good, excellent...
Thomas, My feeling is that heirlooms have the potential to be higher brix if they are raised properly, since they were presumable chosen for their flavor and ...
Kris, I don't think achieving excellent brix favors heirlooms over hybrids. Achieving excellent brix levels is more an issue of appropriate nutrients at the...

Hi, I have 12.25 brix cilantro growing in a half wine barrel. I am guessing that the closest thing on the brix charts to cilantro would be parsley, for which...
Nice observations Thomas. These are the things we all need to be seeing. Dr. Reams' had a prominent saying: SEE WHAT YOU LOOK AT. It seems that you have...
Norm, Soil remineralization is the foundation for high brix. This puts the nutrients out in the soil. Foliar sprays are the pumping action getting the ...

Rex tells a story of growing a row of tomatoes with half being a hybrid and half being an open pollinated variety. He reports that in the same growing ...
Wow Nataraj, 12.2 brix cilantro is wonderfully potent with great aroma. It brings to mind chicken curry made with cilantro and coconut rice. Last year I did...

Thomas, The message I get from Beddoe's book, Nourishment Homegrown, is that when the plant can produce lots of sugars because of high fertility, that gives ...
Hello Rex, I have found that commercial seed grown with chemicals produces weak seedlings, and are easy targets for insects. One appliction of insecticide...
Rex, You "misunderestimated" me. I am a firm proponent of foliar spraying. All garden programs from IAL come with a foliar program. As you could see from ...
Jon, Now that you bring up leaf thickness, I am thinking of getting a better microscope so I can get good pictures of leaves taken from my excellent level brix...
Thanks Jon. I am using cilantro for mercury detoxification, though I love the taste of it as well. I have been taking cuttings every few days from all the ...
Hi Colin, Well made foliar sprays will incorporate phos acid and other nutrients that cause plants to make more carbohydrates from sunlight. Some of the extra...
