Actually, it is a very old practice which people lost interest in somewhere in the mid 30's. It was up in Jake's Corner, Yukon when our neighbor Pineapple Jim Henry was "ice-blasting" the rear rims on his infamous %$# (sorry, cannot say the name here). Well, that dry ice made the tractor castings so dry that the tractor just folded up in the middle and turned into a giant pile of iron filings. He mixed them into the soil at his pineapple ranch and for years drugstores used to sell "Extract of Iron Fortified Pineapple Seeds" across the counter. Eventaully you had to have a doctor's prescription to get it and people lost interest.
