Paramagnetic Soil, Leaf Cutter Ants, and Plant Resilience

In tropical regions like Costa Rica, soil is often paramagnetic and lacks the ability to hold nutrients, forcing plants to derive sustenance from the air. Christopher Topher Gardner discovered that applying diamagnetic biochar to his cacao trees eliminated infestations of leaf cutter ants. He posits that insects act as a "cleanup crew" for nature, targeting only unhealthy plants, and that increasing soil resilience naturally deters pests.
