BTW I was not implying that Newtonian physics is some sort of explanation a=
pplied to growing or making CT....just trying to introduce logic.

"whatever gravitational pull there is from the moon would have no effect on=
 Earth activities, as it would be non-existent relative to the force occuri=
ng from the Earth."

How would you know this? Because a rock does not fall up?

If I stand close to a large building, am I effected by its 'mass' force?

 People do this. We do it with compsot tea. Newtonian physics breaks down t=
owards the speed of light, which is where Einstein comes in. But, again, th=
e more we look into it, the less we know.

p, or a tide. It is another force alltogether, one that we do not collectiv=

iving systems, are affected by levity, or the force that works opposite of =
gravity. There are always opposing forces in Nature. The workings of Nature=
 are towards balance, the more we can get into resonance with this in our g=
ardening and compost tea brewing, the better resutls we will have..
