Pragmatic paramagnetism.

    Anyone here know anything or have any views on increased paramagnetism in soil and increased life or more nutrients in crops and earlier chitting of seed.
    Basically any info appreciated.

    Thinking along the lines of applying rock dust (partially) based on paramagnetic readings.
    Actually if anyone here has a tester even better.


    Let the thread begin....

    Edit: any views appreciated even if you think it's a load of bo//ix.

    I'm coming at this from my application of dolerite dust back when I reseeded.

    I say dust but it was partially dust. The leftover from stone for road (screenings from 4mm to 0). Now the dust part would be available straight away and then sure maybe I might get some paramagnetic improvement from the up to 4mm going on.
    Bonus points for me if it is a thing.

    Reseed looks nice and advanced now anyway with a good colour and there is a difference where the dolerite was scraped off with the leveller in places before the lime went on. Maybe I was just lucky with the quarry I picked.
    I think it's made a difference anyway compared to other reseeds in my area sown at the same time.

    Anyone read "Paramagnetism : Rediscovering Nature's Secret Force of Growth " by Philip S. Callahan. ??

    Is it worth a read or the money?

    Fixed it for you.....
    And I can unfix it if Floki objects... :D

    It's the best run down yet on the whole rock dust, paramagnetism, hoo ha.

    Paramagnetism sounds hokey pokey.
    So here's a visual clip of paramagnetism of basalt dust in action.

    Now here's a list of the magnetic properties of all the known elements.

    http://periodictable.com/Properties/A/MagneticType.html

    You can get an idea from that then that a Paramagnetic is attracted to a Diamagnetic and vice versa.

    Here ends today's lesson!
