Post #6389483

I was wondering if metal containers affect plant growth in any way .. unable to find anything specific on the web about it, I did find info on the addition of metals to soil and essentially it was considered a negative effect.

I was trying to come up with a way to corral plants that spread underground, perhaps using tossed metal ductwork forming a barricade around the escapees bed. Considering there are salts in the soil naturally, I was also wondering if that combined with water, certain metals might also generate a weak charge as well.

Anyone know anything about this?
