With the conventional concepts of scientific theory, such a migration of substance is unthinkable. It becomes more comprehensible when one learns to understand the soil itself — the diaphragm organ of the "farm individuality" — as a living context permeated by astral forces, into which the root immerses itself as it were as a sense organ. One can blunt this still weakly developed sense organ entirely by means of mineral salts (cf. the chapter "The Application of Nitrogen Salts," pp. 275 ff.), or one can educate this sense organ toward ever higher activity through the cumulative working of all the preparations named. And that is what it comes down to. Each one of them contributes a working-aspect to the development of the sense organization and thereby to "sensitivity" toward substances and forces: "If one works the soil in this way [...], then the plant becomes ready to draw things toward it from the wide periphery."
