Have any good forumers tried orgonite on their garden plants?
For others, after reading this article, would you be tempted to experiment with orgonite?
More generally, have you applied a method of growing which has significatively increased the growth of your plants?

Local gardeners are needed for 2009 trials of 'wonder resin', Orgonite
March 26, 2009 - Press Dispensary - Last year, a solid, resin-based material called Orgonite was used in East Sussex to grow giant vegetables in a small but significant trial run by freelance journalist, Mark Bennett. Now, he is teaming up with EcoLogicCool of Sydney Street, Brighton, to conduct a much larger trial starting in early April, 2009, and is seeking gardeners to participate and document the growing harvest and resulting crops.
To date, a dozen participants have signed up from the Sussex area and gardeners will be added to the trial until supplies of Orgonite run out. Participants can have any level of gardening experience and will receive free Orgonite 'pucks', a questionnaire and a disposable camera to photograph their results during the trial.
A simple mixture of resin, aluminium shavings and a crystal, the Orgonite technology is derived from Freud's contemporary, Wilhelm Reich*, who developed the idea of orgone energy and how it affects the human body and nature. Orgone is known in different cultures as chi, prana, ki, or mana and Reich developed a range of technologies to harness and focus this energy. Kate Bush sang about it in her song, 'Cloudbusting'. William Burroughs was known to be a regular user of an Orgone Accumulator which is claimed to focus life energy and attributed it to his vitality in later life.
Orgonite can be moulded into any shape for purposes ranging from beautiful indoor artefacts to outdoor soil-enhancers.
Following an unexpected arrival of a large box of Orgonite from a friend in February 2008, Mark Bennett - a respected investigative journalist and photographer - spent time researching the resin and its effect on plants. He found several websites that documented the growing of vegetable gardens. The resulting crops were large; in stark contrast to the control crops grown without Orgonite.
Mark needed his own proof. He started with simple seed germination tests of alfalfa sprouts using a control sample minus Orgonite. The tests were repeated with strict measurements to rule out errors. The results in both cases were a threefold increase in the alfalfa sprouts' volume. Mark then supplied Orgonite to friends who had allotments and gardens.
M. Rogers from Shoreham used Orgonite to aid a variety of failing, non-indigenous plants in his greenhouse - including grapes and gojo berries. He says: "The crops are now flourishing and I was amazed at their size compared to previous crops. At the end of the season, when other plants were dying out, they were still going strong."
P. Barker from Brighton used Orgonite to aid his beetroots, which were fast to germinate and grew strongly. He was rigorous in his methodology, planting two identical patches in his allotment - one with Orgonite and one without - and growing organically ( see www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZpGALwotqc ).
He says: "At first, I was mildly surprised by the different crops. The area was mostly root crops - parsnips and different types of beetroot and some early carrots. The plot with Orgonite at each corner produced a whole lot more than adjacent plots. I ended up giving a lot of my produce away. A major surprise was a crop of self-sown tomatoes in between the beets. Normally I can't get tomatoes to grow outside so this was an unexpected bonus."
Orgonite has also been reported effective at helping ailing plants and trees. In a recent development, Orgonite has been theorised to convert negative energy into positive life-giving energy.
The imminent Orgonite trial builds upon the growing evidence that Orgonite has a real effect on plants, bringing about a massive growth increase. To join the trial, enquire at EcoLogicCool, 46 Sydney Street, Brighton.

While this thread awaits answers, a musical interlude. Song dedicated to the man who studied ether/orgone with scientific methods. Kate Bush plays Wilhelm Reich's son. Donald Sutherland is Reich.

Well, after 70 years of no show, the population of Atlantic salmons certainly seems to be on the uptick in Paris!
"More and more fish are swimming up the Seine," said Bernard Breton, head of France's national fishing federation, FNPF. "This year has surpassed anything we could have imagined: we must have reached a thousand salmon crossing Paris," he said.
"Salmon is what scientists call a bioindicator – as its presence provides a good indication of water pollution levels. Atlantic salmon, salmo salar, is on the European Union's list of endangered species."

"It is not quite a return to the days when dolphins and even whales were seen making their way upstream to Paris, but the Seine is welcoming back at least one long-lost visitor: the Atlantic salmon."

Great news about salmon in the Seine. Gives me hope for the Hudson River.
My past gardening experience includes buying one large flower pot a year for my terrace and then watching it slowly go to plant heaven. And then I tried a product called Miracle Gro, which lived up to its name and ended my reputation as Queen of the Plant Killers.
I would certainly be game to try anything for the benefit of my plants, but I doubt that my one flower pot would be large enough in scope for this experiment. Not to mention the unappealing freight charge for this product to cross an ocean. -
Miracle grow, hmm
You can actually make them on a shoe-string budget. What is needed:
*metal shavings (you can sometimes get for free at machine shops)
*quartz crystals (open field/garden quartz will do)
*resin (poliester, epoxy), but some use sugar instead.
The first two ingredients can conceivably be gotten for free
Actually, I first tried it on my bougainvilliers plant... which had been flowerless for 2 years. It subsequently had fully blossomed after 2 months.
I think mine come out to maybe 50cents a unit (I only get the shavings for free).-
Yes sure I would give it a try. Why not? maybe plants also have a libido:-)!
When I was in Africa, I used cows dejections that really really worked very well!
When I was in France, I used an organic product that worked really well for plants in pot.
Here in Brooklyn, I can't find neither one or another, so I only use water. -
Harveya:
Thanks for what sounds like expert advice, but I'm afraid my neck of the woods is short on both machine shops and open fields/gardens - as in, there are none. Unless we count Central Park. But since that was completely man-made, I doubt there are any quartz crystals hanging around - not that I would recognize them if I saw them. -
Angelshair,
Maybe just water and love will do? hehe
Savvy2,
Sorry, that was a tad facetious on my part... I was fortunate to come across all the right places, and to have an open space. They can also be gotten on Internet (orgonecrystals is the one I know best).

They work especially well in an environnement with much electromagnetic radiation (cell towers etc.) - as that radiation is transformed into vital energy (according to legend and my own experiences).
As far as the salmon making it back to the Seine, it has been my experience that O. catalyzes an underlying situation (ie there have been some efforts to clean up the Seine in Paris, but it would have taken much more time - as in years - for them to make it back there.) - to my knowledge there are a few hundred pieces thrown in there).
