Foliar Feeding - Myth?

Funny stuff.
Who knows? It may do better, in fact I know some people in bonsai that I would guarantee it would do better.
No one said anything about doing better, what was said and what will happen is that it will respond the same as any other plant. If food, air, or water is taken away, it will die, be it in the forest, the nursery, the sidewalk, or in a pot. It will react the same, feed the same, take up water the same, and yes, even die the same.
In short, the location (nature or pot) a plant is in does not change the way it takes in nutrients, be it by the roots or otherwise. Therefore, studies on foliar feeding plants in a field can be applied to plants in a container.

lol.... they aren't all by aspirin companies. As I happen to currently be employed by a research facility specializing in Cancer research I know that some of those studies were conducted by the people I trust. Sometimes in the world of science there really are people out there who want to make the world a better place. now take your aspirin, it won't kill you.
And I'd be happy to share a glass of red wine with you whenever you get a chance to come up here to the PNW. Attila Soos

It sounds like collected trees with very few roots available can certainly benefit from foliar feeding. I have not practiced it so far, but I will definitely use foliar feeding next time I collect one of those old California junipers.
Thanks guys for the great info.

I love red wine, Merlot especially. There is an inexpensive Austalian inexpensive wine labeled under the name YellowTail that is really good for the price, nice finish as well.

I have a friend here in Oklahoma that has a vinyard, every spring he has a wine festival where you but a souvenir glass and stay all day if you wish, testing his wines. I never drive home. I thought you guys on the west coast like 2 buck chucks.

I have proof that some of the same grape that goes into a bottle of two buck chuck goes into a bottle of Sterling 29.00 dollar cabernet savingon. I live in the heart of wine country. Wine is the biggest rip off buisness on the planet, followed closely by bottled water.
Want to debunk a real myth? Try delving into what is really in your bottle of wine. By law it only has to contain 25% of the stated varietal labled on the bottle. Two buck Chuck says on the label that it is from Sonoma, Ca. A region known the world over as making some of the worlds finest wine. Yet most of the wine in the bottle comes from Quaty winery in Madera CA. Not exactly the wine capital of the world.

I find it amusing that the very same people that bitch about $3 gasoline will go and buy a bottle of water out of someones faucet that cost $1.65. I may be an idiot sometimes, but I'm not a fool. At our state fair, there was a wine tasting judging, they're were about 6 wines involved, including a couple of high dollar import wines and some California wines along with my friends wine, guess who won, yep, my friend with his little winery.

strangley... that topic was covered here in news once... I actually was not aware that tap water must meet higher health standards than bottled water..... how is that for messed up.... luckily i never fell for the water myth.... the wine on the other hand... well it certainly doesn't come out of the tap.

Sterling mixed with 2bukchuck grapes? Nooooo !!, no wonder it tastes bad.
We did a Sterling tour last year when we went to Callistoga on the way up to go see Evergreen Garden Works for the first time and I never saw any Madera grapes there. You could be right and maybe they are cutting the batch in a secret location in the winery. We then went across the street to Clos Pegas and the wine was much better.
It is hard in the grape growing racket to bring your self to reduce your yield in mid season for higher quality but it is critical for better flavor.

Back to foliar feeding, I have a couple of questions for any one who thinks they do so and believes they see results from the practice.
Anyone game?

The Yellowtail is good but if you really want a red wine that will tickle your palate try a 10 year old Barolo
