Their results, which were published in the journals Plant Biology and PLoS ONE, found that when crops were pollinated, the plants bear more fruit along with a change in their nutrient content."      SEPTEMBER Planting Guide for the US      MARY'S 2017 PLANTING GUIDE     Using Coffee Grounds in the Garden Seed Starting with Coconut Coir Pellets Using Organic Neem Oil in the Garden Growing Tips & Videos Which Plants are Heavy Feeders?
