Tree Growth
Speed-Up Service
We'll Barter Our Services
for Your Fruit
There are religious traditions where a monk sets out with his empty begging bowl. The offering of food is placed it in and he accepts gratefully. The offering gives him strength to do his work. In return, he gives guidance and wisdom. There is an exchange. Both are giving and receiving.
Over 10 years ago, a remarkable young man, known as Mark of the Trees, received international recognition for discovering way to break up acid, clay soil for city trees. Marks' city tree grew at least 3X larger in diameter than the rest of the maples on his street.
In fact, Mark's maple was so well-rooted than when it was struck by a car, Mark's city tree barely got a scratch, while the wayward car was demolished. In comparison, two houses down on the same street, a neighbor's maple was chopped down by a drunk driver's vehicle. (The difference, besides the trees' diameter, was in the "internal strength", and roots, between Mark's and his neighbor's trees.
Using his novel method, Mark also saved several dying fruit and birch trees that several tree experts declared hopelessly diseased or infested. The fruit trees produced fruit in unusually large quantities, too. More than Mark's family could eat or store in their freezer.
I was Mark's mentor.
What I'm offering is a tree growth speed-up service. I can also save dying trees, including those that tree experts have deemed "hopeless".
The science of the necessity (why your fruit tree/trees are slowing down, or dying, found on the 'net. In brief, our planet's increasing carbon dioxide levels cause trees to die-off, unless additional steps are taken. That is what I taught Mark to do.
However, I don't want your money for my "tree revival service". You can pay me with a 25% share in the fruit produced, every year, by your treated trees. This should be "no problem" because your trees will produce larger, perhaps double or triple the number of fruits, right?
Furthermore, because my tree treatment process will improve the soil chemistry, break up compacted {clay} soil, and actually redirect roots downward, and reduce watering requirements dramatically, we (including your family's health) will all benefit.
But why will we --- everyone --- benefit? Large trees keep the air cooler in summer. Reduce pollutants by absorbing carbon and particulates. Since I (or my friends) will be collecting fruit from your trees, you won't have to arm-wrestle your neighbors into taking them away, lol.
I'd also like to test our device against the Pine Beetle. Anybody got infested pine trees that are still slightly alive?

I are also willing to do this for community gardens, small fruit farms and growers. Travel cost will be extra for out-of-town travel. Mentioned in the 24Hours newspaper, along with our two other remarkable inventions.
About Rob Matthies
Here I am, at the only Goji nursery in North America that had hundreds of Goji plants in stock, available to ship, in March 2009. No other commercial Goji farm had goji berry plants in quantity, in Canada or USA. An acre of goji bushes could fetch over $200K at dried goji berries, currently $60-$130/kg, at Whole Foods' prices. This farm is fenced, with barbed wire; no plant purchasers are allowed in, due to growing techniques that are rather special.

‘Unusable’ batteries power pickup
By Michael McQuillan
NewsLeader
Feb 23 2007
The problem with electric cars is they’ve always been so expensive that they aren’t practical.
Two local men are working on a solution that could change that.
Gary Tang of Burnaby and Rob Matthies of Vancouver recently completed work on a 1982 Chevy S15 truck that runs on what would be considered unusable batteries. Earlier this month the two drove the pickup around Burnaby, making it the first time a four-wheel has run only off scrap or revived batteries.
Front Page story in Burnaby Now newspaper
Almost 'no-cost' batteries appear in Electric Vehicles in Vancouver, BC, Canada..

Here's the front-page article written by Erin Hitchcock of Burnaby Now
regarding the use of Revived Batteries in an electric vehicle.

Global TV evening news ran the story on this electric vehicle. Here is a link to the Global TV's Vancouver Sun promo ad, featuring revived battteries.

Old truck runs on 17 batteries
Creative duo resurrect old Hydro vehicle and now it runs like "a little rocket"
By Erin Hitchcock
Staff Reporter
Rob Matthies and Gary Tang own a 1984 GMC Sierra S15 that can zip around just as fast as any other vehicle - and it runs off only batteries.
"I was going so fast, I wasn't looking at my speedometer," said Matthies, a sustainable-energy presenter with Solar Power Roadshow. "It goes faster than my Corolla. It's like a little rocket."
The truck, which currently runs off 17 "revived batteries," was modified about 14 years ago for B.C. Hydro.
Tang, a mechanical design engineer, a UBC mechanical engineer and BCIT mechanical technologist, said the truck was converted by the Canadian Electric Vehicle Association for B.C. Hydro.
He and Matthies met four to five years ago at a Perpetual Motion Amateur Inventors and Gadgeteers meeting.
Matthies, who had been looking for an electric vehicle, posted an advertisement online. AccelRate Power Systems Inc., which had since acquired the truck, saw Matthies's advertisement and donated the truck to him in December.
