Throwback to 1959, I did a science experiment with bones of cows and pigs we used for food. The bones were no cooked at all. I removed all of the meat and used the bones for this project. I started with a cow bone. I drilled holes in the bone and inserted grains of wheat in them. No water was used. After about 4 days the wheat started growing. I compared the bone wheat to the plants that were in the field. I found that the bone wheat grew faster and a lot greener that the field wheat. Pig bones were close to being like the cow bones but, they were larger and grew about 25% faster than the cow. SioI then thought that the bone marrow in the pigs bone was a lot richer than the cow because of the difference in food. These plants never did however become fully grown because of the area around the roots was too small. I call that root bound. @75 years old I still like to play The Mad Professor.

[@lilRadRidinHood]

I really enjoyed your story. It was quite creative of you to experiment with the bones. My idea to create something for school also turned into a boney situation (although much less involved than yours.) My pet lizard died and instead of burying him I posed the body upright using fine wire and secured it over an ant hill. My interest in the diligence of the workers seemed to creep out my sisters but I digress. The ants stripped the little animal rather quickly down to pure white bone, and soon I had a miniature "Tyrannosaurus Rex" model helping me achieve a respectable grade in biology class. I feel I should add that I'm also in my seventies and the widow of a Vietnam era vet.

See you have to remember that I was born in a very poor family. If our income was $1,500 a month ment that dad stayed sober. So we never even had a TV or a Radio back then. I remember climbing a 60 ft. tree to put a long lenth of copper wire to attach to the 1950 Chevy car radio antenna so that we could listen to WSM out of Nashville Tn. and the Grand Old Oprey. So that is all I had to do was experiment with things like crops and animals. So when I got a chance to learn something it was great. But sadly I had to quit school in the 8th grade and enter the US ARMY to help support my family. In which I do not regret at all. Things were a lot different then. But I did finish my schooling through the Army and a GED later. I guess you could say that I am pretty much a self taught man. I also hold a Ham Radio Permit as a Extra Class operator. When you want something in life just get off your ass and go get it. Have a good day man.

Had a talk with a priest once, about a year ago. Said to him, seems sad the common idea of burial became so wide spread. We have so much land, with grave stones, that could be used to grow food to help the living. I do understand people wanting to have a way to remember past on loved ones. But the number of dead will keep growing, wile room for grave sites diminish, along with diminishing room for the living, in favor of room for the dead. And I don't think that was though out very well in the past, when the idea making grave sites first came about. I pass by many grave sites, and think, that land could be used for something. Be it for living people, or the wild life. As is, some grave sites are just so massive. And they are not going to get any smaller, as people keep dying off day after day. A bit to my surprise, well, more of a shock really, the priest had agreed. He said, it does not matter what the body is like or it's condition, for the soul to find its place in the afterlife. He also agreed that we should rethink our ways, when it comes to how to deal with a dead body. We don't actually have to have grave sites, to have a marmoreal for those whom passed on. To me personally, these body burial pods are a great idea. And are far less costly, in many ways. What would you rather have over your dead body? A stone with some words, along side hundreds of such stones? Or a living tree, helping to clean the air, provide oxygen, and a lush natural scenery that is much more pleasant to look at? As for me, I had half wanted to have a type of burial at sea. A return to what some believe as our true roots. A part of me also wanted to have my body donated to science. I still have several years to think about it. One thing is for sure, I don't want my body in a big casket with some stone overhead, taking up valuable space for the living.

The topics discussed in these videos are so crazy and in-depth! The level of research done is incredible. Thank you for all the hard work Steve n Co. I was waiting for fungus to be mentioned! That's one of the reasons why forests replenish themselves so well. The symbiotic relationship between the two ensures fast decomp of dead organic matter and the birth of new plants surrounding them! Fungi is next level in that respect. We can expect to see alot more things involving fungi in the future. Y'all have a blessed day 😊

[@KingKatura]

Plants are pretty amazing I have this"mini rose bush". It dies & goes to sleep every winter. This year i noticed that one of flowers hanging out by the tree that was above it. So i started watching it. The next week or so it was stretched even closer to the tree. Then eventually it moved up into the tree. as if it was one of the branches, it stretched & stayed perfectly preserved from the trees warmth. Now December hits winter is already well underway the flower was still alive & not falling. Although it did die it lasted a very long time especially since they die fast, It used the tree & stayed alive the first part of winter typically by winter they are all usualy dead or almost dead. & none of the other flowers on the bush thought to stretch to the tree & live & its never done it before, Just that one flower did that thing. Which would mean that it learned on the fly more than likely when it realized the tree would give it more warmth & shelter it made its way into the bows, Stretching itself as much as it could to do this. Because its already fully grown & been around before i was born, it wasn't just growth. Thats amazing in my opinion.

[@ServantofBaal]

A thought on noise making plants grow faster; lots of repetitive noise/vibration means animals are nearby, and the mutualistic relationship between plants and animals means that plants evolved to boost their growth when they sense animals are nearby so they can release more pollen, fruit, and seeds, which animals will spread everywhere. So noise/vibration is a cue to plants that it would be advantageous to expend more energy and grow faster so it can propagate better

Human or animal remains are great nutrients for plants or trees! It's actually very common for dead, fallen trees are the perfect place for another tree to sprout and take root. I've seen it many times in my time, living in northern Canada.

[@DoseofScienceDoS]

3:43 yes we do. The human body is full of nutrients that plants can feed on, it’s that simple. Also, bodies are full of amino acids that plants love.

[@cindygauthier8567]

And animals as big as humans can release so much nitrogen at once that their bodies can initially kill all the plant life directly around it until there’s enough bacteria to fix that nitrogen. You can actually see in the photo at 4:50. But yeah, once the bacteria convert it into a form that plants can actually use, then plants absolutely take off

The identity of the corpse interests me. Like human DNA, aren't the digestive enzymes different for each species? Yes, so it shouldn't be too hard to gather that info from the plants. Forensic sciences are so advanced these days, they should have tests already to determine that, right?

[@JoeSmith-cy9wj]

​​@@heidihughes7013Enzymes and most other compounds are swiftly broken down by the same fungi and bacteria that exist by the billions on every square inch and cubic centimeter of the biosphere. Many substances begin to get disassembled immediately upon death, needing the forces and energy of the living thing to stay in their active states. Quickly, other environments and life forms re-use them for their own purposes. Once visible tissue is gone, very few identifiable substances remain of the corpse. Relative amounts of basic elements might give clues, but the variability leaves much to be learned.

A note about those biodegradable eggs, if you're burying the "ashes" it's just ground up bone fragments and unfortunately that does nothing to actually aid the growth of plants on its own. It's not really more environmentally friendly at this point either because if you're being cremated, you've already massively polluted the environment to do so. If you're looking for something environmentally friendly, you might try burial out in wild areas without any kind of embalming or water cremation which while unfortunately still not legal for human bodies in all US states is far better for the environment than fire cremation. You basically get heated in a lye bath and it speeds up decay. The slush can be used for farming as a great fertilizer, medical devices don't get harmed in the process (where as for fire cremation, they could explode if left in the body), and the remaining bone fragments can be dried and crushed to return the same "ashes" a fire cremation provides. It's also significantly cheaper than fire as well as not releasing anything carcinogenic into the air, and the human soup can even go right down the drain with no problem. ((The reason it's kept illegal is religious groups, usually christian in origin, who ignore what happens to blood and bodily fluids in a hospital or a morgue where it goes down a drain and raise their point that a) it's disrespectful to the body [to do what you want with your own damn body] and b) that bodies shouldn't be going into the local water supply. For the record, you won't be drinking gma. It's all organic material, it gets filtered and cleaned :P But if it's something you're interested in, check in your state.)) Now if you're looking for something to do with your "ashes," from either source, you can bury them (just don't expect it to actually feed plants!), get stones made with them, have jewelry and other items made from them, keep it in an urn, bury it in a plot, ect. Up to you. Some of these options can be pricey however.

It’s called a leeching field (or maybe leaching-not sure of the spelling since I have never read it, just heard it.

Also Body farms are interesting. Any creepy pasta fan knows what they are. But if you don't know. It's exactly that. Bodies left out in the open and its decomposition documented for science. All ways you can think of too. In deep water. In shallow water. Half in half out the water. Just dumped next to a tree. Out in a feild. Let the scavengers get it that's nature it's findings still count. But also some in cage's to stop scavengers getting at them too. Imagine being that scientist keeping a diary on a farm of corpses. Daily check ups wright your findings. Tbh I wish I knew that was a job Ide do it. Quick whip round text to speech that 💩 get on with your day. Imagine being drunk taking a short cut with a buddy and finding your way into a body farm. How freaked out would you be thinking nobody knows this farmer don't care. You'll be next. I took a short cut drunk with a buddy and ended up in a pitch black feild with a beast really angry beast charging us we had no idea what it was at first. Couldn't see nothing but felt the grown thunder around us and grunting thank god I was faster than my buddy I left him for ded. I saw light coming through a hedge so ran for it screaming 😱 😭 😫 the ground thundering around me grunts every direction I was full speed and it was still running rings around me. I got to the gap in the hedge and just dived head first no care into somebody's back yard. Landed on my belly. Found a bench and waited for my buddy. He came through the same way dush just as I sat down. I needed it too legs were jelly. Then the beast paced the hedge. Made a new sound that's when we knew it was a big horrible horse. Checked In the day it was a huge jet black male horse. Thank god it didn't run through us. But chased us away. Had a reputation as a nasty stalion from other freinds. That shook us camera phones were new we spoofed Blair witch laughing screaming joking on camera like the movie on extasy too. That was an awesome night. But if we had found corpses omfg.

Too much plants on turtle do cause some harm to them. Turtles need UV to be healthy a lot of it is taken by the shell so if there is a lot of plants they block sun rays. Normally turtles shed scutes on their shell and take off plants in the process but I believe there is possibility that too much plants can get scutes stuck on the shell. Maybe that is the reason why turtles enjoy shell scratching so much, it might help them to remove anything from it :D

[@ShadowFoxSF]

I know little about why turtles scratch themselves, but this seems a neat hypothesis. That said, a turtle scratching themselves with a little brush is one of the cutest things I know of.

[@deborahann4507]

​Shadowfox. It's a little easier to understand if you think about the fact that the spine of the turtle and the shell are part of each other, and contain blood and nerves, and feel almost anything touching or brushing by them, similar to what you feel when something brushes over YOUR skin. Of course they would enjoy THEIR back being scratched as much as YOU would having YOURS scratched. One of life's truly MOST pleasurable of experiences, both to give and receive, AND is one of the few things in life that really IS free!!

at ~6 gallons per cow, say you have 10 cows, 1.8 additional gallons, that might actually pay for classical cow music.

If it's in your stomach, light ain't getting to it.

serial killers are casually helping the world without any idea why its helping

[@The_Gallowglass]

I'm so helpful, I guess you could call me a fungi.

So, that's why in few places of my country i can see plants greener than anywhere else. Especially if they are at a funeral. Especially Banyan Tree (Ficus benjamina)

Plant a tree on your corpse, and as a toomstone "I became Groot"

[@MrsRobertson4]

Love the graphics!

[@Diamond77795]

I never thought that a tree could grow like that

[@kimmiramone]

I wonder if fungi near a dead body tastes different than fungi with no dead body near.

Capsula Mundi is a plastic egg. Allegedly bio-degradable plastic, but to do that it needs to be planted in the right conditions. The problem is that you still have to be cremated. So the only benefit over cremation is that you get a seed. My church's burial garden has the same requirement, but the cremains go into a deep-ish hole in the garden, which is covered with decorative plants. Annuals, mostly.

A mushroom walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says I'm sorry we don't serve food here. The mushroom says why not? I'm a fungi.

Regarding plants finding bodies, I have noticed that in many cemeteries. Where above graves the grass is often far more lush than the surrounding grass

Native Americans used dead fish for fertilizer when planting corn.

Polar bear hair is also hollow that's why it grows so well inside.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

Inside what?

"Nature follows a logical pattern"? Man creates logical patterns that follow nature.

[@Glucosetito]

From the beginning this has been plants vs zombies

[@dracodraconias8096]

the slug with chlorophyl isn't the only one. i think there's a sea snail/slug called the leafy sheep

[@stickyfox]

I feel like there were a lot of photoshop shenanigans going on with the grass around the corpses.

So if we are buried WITHOUT coffins we become a product beneficial to the environment? I say, let us have plenty of children and burry our aging loved ones bare without coffins. Not only will we still be able to visit the site, but it will create life that will bring good to our world. Sounds like a beneficial thing for everyone.

Nature will always find a way

I got an add about phones, but they had personalities and spoke in the ai monotone voices. So the laughs and screams were all the same tone…

[@Philfluffer]

The version of Corticeps portrayed in ‘The Last of Us’ is real and does exist in the nature. The difference is that the real portrayal (like... in reality) of Cortceps cannot exist at our body temperatures... but if climate change goes too far (like in the game/series) there’s really very little we can do to stop it. Will it turn us into monsters? Unlikely, but that won’t stop it from feasting on our lovely juices, especially if we’re immunocompromised.

If my kids try to act smart and say plants don't grow after swallowing a seed I'll show them this clip.
