Given the public's willingness to spend obscene amounts of money on
Homeopathy, Aromatherapy, Macrobiotics, Ear candling, Magnets, Qigong,
Reflexology, and anything labelled "herbal" or "organic", the mere fact
that Spike's vege-stables provide no actual benefits should be no
impediment to his making a fortune with them. And if I can figure
out a way to make fertilizer with low K40, I can sell it to him.
People will buy all kinds of fertilizer.
