I've been waiting a few months to see if I could ever post this...

and today looks like the day.

Oh dear... I just realized that maybe not everyone here "gets" the tinfoil hat thing.

On the eBay forum when someone says something a bit far out, then there's a poster who posts a pic of... I forget.... a sock or something... a sock puppet maybe... with a tin foil hat.

See?



so all these months I've been thinking about that poster... but I thought maybe you'd enjoy the picture, too.

Well, yes. That makes sense to me. Reflecting the light.
My son and daughter did an experiment with different coloured cellophane paper and a seedling. Showed how light influenced the growth.

Oh, I'm so glad you get it. Whew.

Do they have pictures of their experiments? Maybe you could post one on this thread?????

I'd love to see it.

I was really REALLY surprised by the amount of difference it made.

You are a sweetie to reply!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh, was a long time ago now.
They did it for Biology. Had to give a presentation, oral and visual.
Not sure if they saved their photos. They may have done that. I'll ask them when they wake up. Monday morning here.

Are you in a very hot climate? I would imagine that the tin foil would make the plants burn if it was too hot. It would work well stopping moisture from evaporating... a little like a mulch.

Hi, ((((((Karen))))))

Oh my goodness, that is amazing!! I'll have to try it, it I can ever get my tin-foil hat unplugged

I'll bet that would work good in an apartment where you don't get enough light. I remember when I bought my condo that I used to own, I brought 50 indoor plants there. My plants did not like it there -- lost every one of them.

Now, I can't have indoor plants, 'cause my kitties are untrustworthy

Thanks for sharing. That's so interesting. Good way to recycle too. You're really turning out to be **The Star** of energy-saving and recycling, aren't you
