Very silly but very funny. I dare you to try with vacuum tubes. Hmm, did they ever come on reels?  ;D

They look to be grown in an organic and amusing fashion. :-+ Must be nice to be able to harvest your own reels.

So, in order to sell them and compete with other sellers on eBay (*Cough* home of counterfeit parts *Cough*), you need to apply more Manure to the soil?

I planted 0603, applying more fertilizer will give you 0805 or even 1206 :)

Does this work with Xenon CPU's? I could open my own CPU Factory/Garden.

To Grow Xenon CPU's, I suspect that you would need Plutonium infused Fertilizer.  Very hard to get.

I wonder if you can grow solar cells that way.  I imagine they need lot of sun to grow though.  If you can plant solar cells and lead acid batteries in the same farm you can create a self sustaining power farm.  ;D
