Cont'd...

Well, molybdenum is a whole 'nother discussion, but the point is, these odd little micros are yes tedious but not too terribly expensive (they are very expensive) but the quantities needed are so small that it ends up inexpensive. I'd guess I've used $1 worth of molybdenum... or something like that. Does it add pounds? Who knows. Does it improve the soil/plant health? Yeah, I do think so. I had some local gardeners ask why my red runner beans were so plump. I dont know... is it because I was insane enough to add 1 ppm of molybdenum to my row of beans??? I'm always caught off guard by these questions. And I never know the answers with any certainty.

For everyone else its about a goal.

Do I even have a goal? Sometimes, I do not care at all about the goal. Instead all I care about is the method. Does the goal need the method as the method needs the goal? I wish I could dump all the goals and just work on the methods.

I guess I could. What good is it to work on a fast car if there's no racetrack or finish line... Still, I'd like to just work in the pit as part of the pit crew, and not actually have to go out and win the race. But... this isnt a team sport, generally. Not yet. So, eventually I must enter the race.
