When we began the research and development phase of THUNDERgro’s formulation, one of the first little experiments that I carried out was a little test to see if one of the components that is a part of what is now the THUNDERgro Formula would help to prevent decay and extend the shelf life in the cut ends of fresh asparagus that I bought from the local store. I thought that perhaps it would at least forestall the decay somewhat, and what I discovered is that not only did the ends of the cut asparagus stay fresh for TWO WEEKS, the asparagus resumed growing. At the end of the 14 day run, we ate this asparagus and did not have to cut the ends off due to decay. The stalks were perfectly fresh, though much longer.
