[BC] RF absorption by foliage

[KKTY]

And here's what I know. That's a pretty tall trellis, and I seem to remember
lots of stickers on those NoCal & Oregon blackberries...

Who's gonna climb to the top & pick???

> As to growing, well, the vine does intercept RF energy.  This warms the
vine, and speeds growth as a result.  So the vines love the high RF
environment.  Warmth all the time.  Good light...no competition where the
tower goes up.  Yeah, like fertilizer.  And a nice trellis to help the vine
upwards.

could plant and harvest and sell premium berries in the local markets for
egg money?
