This is an interesting discussion. I have a question that you might be able to 
answer. There is a piece of land near me that I would love to put an orchid 
greenhouse on. It's only detriment is that it is right next to a railroad 
track. Trains come by fairly often at all hours. Would this disruption of peace 
have any effect on orchid plants? If the vibes theory works, there would be 
plenty at this location.

Viateur, the man probably read Agriculture books from Russia from shortly after WWII. You can find it all there, wheat especially likes classical music, it does not grow at all when hearing jazz.

Some people just never learn.
