Heard this on a TV report last night. Long term researches finally came up with the fact that all kind of plants are susceptive to most environmental forces but one: noise. As a consequence I´m not going to install any hi-fi system on the patch this year...

stand around long enough and you can hear anything.. i read in a souther living magazine a few years back that this guy had a big ole green house and grew a bunch of different types of corn in it, and he was also a ham radio operator, well he put his ham radio in the green house for some reason and noticed the corn that was growing the closest to the radio grew much taller than the other corn so for a few years he would move the radio around in different spots and sure enough where ever the radio was for that season thats where he had the tallest corn..beleive it or not.. (i got me one in my secret patch as we speak)

It wasn't the sound, it was the radiation from the ham radio.
T.V.s and radios give off a certain amount of radiation, which may or may not affect plants.
In this case it did.
