theres something thats been rattling round my head for some time about plants (forgive me i live in a flat and have no time to look into something i cant try out and will probably find out people already do this)

i looked into a product called MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) it has some pretty cool benefits and i'd recommend it to all. but during my research on sulphur i discovered that blue zones (where people tend to live healthier longer) also all had volcanoes nearby (extra sulfur source). the question that sprung to mind, was the extra sulphur in the soil helping the plants absorb more nutrients and passing this on to the residents via direct consumption or by local animals eating the plants. if so would MSM not help improve if used in allotments etc. might be worth someone trying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh and happy easter!

BEAUTIFUL!! I didn't know abot Boxlapse, what a lovely idea!

But when I see the beauty of our mother nature I ask always: Why all those pets around, why this explosion of dogs, cats and any kind of home animals, (more pets than kids in the west...btw) while very few, almost rare persons, love and respect plants as much?

Ohhhh. I wouldn't eat that. Vegetables are filled with endotoxins. Brussel sprouts, for example, has 136 toxins, Mushrooms have 100, sorry to say. Every plant has a minimum of 60 endotoxins.
