--answer--Metallic taste--Heavy Metals Poisoning--
Hi Nicole,
Your question: Hi Moreless
Along one side of my vegie patch and seperated by a gravel path is a retaining wall of treated timber sleepers. It was not my choice of material and I kinda worry about run off getting in to the beds close to it. I have been thinking about having it redone in stone.
But if I am interpreting your post correctly if there is enough Potassium, sodium, calcium etc. available the plants will not take up the arsenic even if it is there in excessive levels.
Is this the case?
Thanks
Nicole
Answer: We may have a Different condition in ther Soil than we may have in our mouth?
If we have a Live Soil with Life working 24 hours each day, this Life is made up of Bacteria and other Microbes etc !
As the bacteria eat and Digest plant matter they form Organic Acids, which then may react against the Arsenic and cause it to release some of it's Electro-magnetic Energy, which the plants may take up?
If there is enough Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and other Minerals available of Less Density, then these may release their Electro-magnetic Energy 1st as these are Less Dense Minerals than Arsenic.
All Plants may take up small amounts of Arsenic in ratio to the other Minerals as a course of Natural works?
It is the ratios that may be more Important than if the plant has any Arsenic in it or not?
Asparagus is Naturally High in Arsenic, even if it is grown in Soils Low in Arsenic !
Our Hearts need a small amount of Arsenic, but in ratio to all the other needed Alkaline Minerals !
Yet, it may not be wise to try raising all of ones food supply in soils too High in Arsenic to begin with in ratio to all the other needed Alkaline Minerals.
Because our Creator has designed all of the Alkaline Minerals to be of Different Density, thus each has a pecking order may we say, the ones which will react with the Acids and give their release of Electro-magnetic Energy 1st, may become most available to plants?
Thus as long as we have enough Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium etc, etc of the needed Alkaline Minerals available to react against the Acids present, the Heavy Metals may not become a problem?
It may only be when we or the plants may become short of the Basic needed Alkaline Minerals, that we or the plants may have problems with the Heavy metals?
In the case of our Gardens, Heavy Metals may not be such a problem when we have Live Soils as if we are using Commercial Fertilizers with Strong Acids, which these Strong Acids may have a Better chance of reacting against these Heavy Metals, because of their Very Nature?
Cause and Effect !
Smile Tis your choice.
