RE: Brix

You might also want to check out this address:
http://www.live.com/#q=brix%20leaf&offset=1 and look at what is there.
Look at this paper:

=OTH&SR=1 , too. 

And this site might be even better:
http://www.tandjenterprises.com/brix_equals_quality.htm

Let me know if this is the type of thing you are looking for.  It looks
pretty comprehensive.  And do let us know if a higher brix will keep the
pests away, O.K.?

Blessings,

Anybody know about brix? Like, brix is measured in "degrees"; how does this
associate with "percent," if it does? And, are there established benchmarks
published somewhere--so one can compare apples and oranges? 
I'm getting a refractometer [the organic guys say you can determine the
fertilizer needs of plants by measuring the brix of leaf sap], so it would
likely be more interesting if I knew what I was doing.
