Chlorophyll helps them listen...
I will delight you with my abbreviated version of chapter 4 of The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird... "Visitors from Outer Space". More legible context will be written soon, as time allows me:
1971.
Silesian born L. George Lawrence, electronics engineer, drives his blue Volkswagen bug into the Oak Grove Park near Temecula, a tiny southern california village near the Pechenga Indian Reservation (not too far from the famous Mount Palomar Observatory.) ...Lawrence chose the park because it was a electromagnetic "deep-frindge" area, with no manmade interferences, and ideal for clean, uncontaminated plant reactions.
His sensory device incorperated, in a temperature-controlled bath, living vegital tissue sheilded behind a Faraday tube that screens out even the slightest electromagnetic interference... Lawrence found that living vegital tissue is adept to percieve signals far more delicately than electronic sensors. It was his belief that biological radiations transmitted by living things are best recieved by a biological medium. His method was diffrent from previous experimentors, as it disposed with the need to use electrodes on plants if they are not the receptors themselves.
... His meathod also incorperated pointing the lenseless tube with wide apeture, the optical axis of which parallell the axis of the Faraday tube, at a target plant. At greater distances he substituted a telescope for the lensless tube, and makes the plant more visible by hanging a white cloth on it...

I don't know...a Faraday tube? I would have chosen another type of ion implantation apparatus if I were really serious about this project.
You have so many fans, Ashling! Have you been getting reading material from Reynard, we were just talking about this book the other day! I was actually going to pick it up from Barnes and Noble after work today! Go figure... And I didn't even know you had a Blog, I found you through the dynamic duo's respective pages. Anywho, I am going to start a vegetable garden cause Thomas said I could. Cucumbers, here I come!
