Does talking to plants help them grow? There's never been a really scientific, large-scale investigation into the subject... until now.
Research conducted by the British Horticultural Society has proven that crooning to your plants really does help them grow. The surprise findings were revealed in a study on a plot of British tomato plants at the RHS gardens which were wired to mp3 headphones while the "voices" talked to the plants regularly over the course of the next 30 days.
The Society found that the average talked-to tomato plant grew to be 2 inches taller. Apparently, they also found that women's voices, as opposed to men's, held the most sway over the stalks. Be sure to test out your own plant conversation skills by visiting this nifty website.
